Neural Nightmares

A Halloween AI and neural-net hackathon on Discord. Crazy. Scary. Spooky. Hilarious. Mostly hilarious.

It's alive! (the hackathon)

The Neural Nightmares hackathon is live. Build something unhinged with AI or neural nets: possessed models, haunted gradient descent, a chatbot that screams back. Puns welcome. Pure dread is not the goal. Slightly uncomfortable and laughing is the sweet spot.
