Just remembered this advert from...a long time ago. It's still so powerful in its simplicity and truthfulness. 

In general I wish more people took off their sunglasses when I'm talking to them. Especially indoors, for crying out loud. 

Intense recruiting ad for the UK Ministry of Defence.

Week Something of the Internet

Deep dreaming. 

A journey trough all the layers of a artificial neural network. This video is made using a visualisation technique applied to a neural network trained to recognise a broad range of images. Each frame is recursively fed back to the network starting with a frame of random noise. Every 100 frames (4 seconds) the next layer is targeted until the lowest layer is reached. Based on the work by Google researchers Alexander Mordvintsev, Christopher Olah and Mike Tyka. See http://googleresearch.blogspot.it/2015/07/deepdream-code-example-for-visualizing.html for more information.
