I put these calls out every so often so here goes:
If you're working on an inclusive game (something with POC/LGBTQ/female characters/relevant themes) please reach out to me, I would love to hear about it!
I can't guarantee coverage and I'm generally very busy but I'm always down to hear about new, inclusive things :)
Got a book sitting next to you?
Add its 1st sentence to this database so I can train a neural network to write the first sentence of a novel.
I'll run the experiment at the end of Nov.

I train neural networks to write humor by giving them datasets that they have to mimic. You can check out my work at aiweirdness.com It’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short), which means that writers everywhere are embarking on writing projects - and when you’re faced with a blank page, sometimes it’s just hard to get started. A helpful neural network, which came up with a My Little Pony called Blue Cuss, a metal band called Chaosrug, and a craft beer called Yamquak, could save the day. But first, it needs to see lots of examples. Enter the first sentence of your novel, or your favorite novel, or of every novel on your bookshelf. Short stories/novellas etc okay too. You can enter as many as you like. At the end of the month, I’ll hopefully have enough sentences to try training a neural network. Want to be updated when I post new neural network content?
