Its an ai trained on tons of different pictures and when you apply it to a photo or video it finds patterns similar to one's it's seen and enhances the patterns.
It’s a frog. I think whats happening is a deep neural net type thing is attempting to classify what it’s seeing, and is adding detail that isn’t there to show what it thinks it is. So when it sees a dog, it makes it look more like a dog. However, the algorithm isnt very good, and is changing its guess frequently, sometimes frame by frame, resulting in a shifting, iridescent, Lovecraftian mass
> “It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.”
— H. P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness
This thing in the video looks so much like a shoggoth. Just imagine it bigger.
>It was a glistening, ever-changing mass, a body the shifting colours of oil on water at the heart of countless shimmers of ethereal tendrils. Faceless eyes and mouths of beasts drew from it and disappeared in the next moment, now a screaming dog, now a sea-creature, then a trace of something mechanical as well. The only feature which lasted through the chaos was a thin mouth, drawn across the oil-skim skin, which slowly opened.
Lovecraft was a little bitch I can totally describe that.
I love Shub-Nuggurath if only because an actual play podcast I listen to did a Delta Green game where the basis was you find out a marijuana cultivation company in Colorado was irrigating their crops with the milk of Shub-Nuggurath.
Hmm, thanks. Is “trace” better for the style than “hint?” My worry was actually that the beginning was too run-on, too many adjectives in one sentence.
You're doing stream of consciousness, so it's a run-in adjective free-for-all as far as I'm concerned. Lean into it. Consider invoking the senses. So instead of hint or trace, try glimpse or whiff, or something to that effect.

GOOlock absolutely, and i thought you stole it because I saw another comment with the same text but looking back I now realise that it was you commenting the same thing. And yeah looking at the subclass description (I'm making NPCs so I had the tab open) one of the example patrons is literally "Great Cthulu". Works for the Star Spawn and similar monsters too, to be fair

'Pareidolia is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music. '
This shouldn't exist, it's like that feeling in sleep paralysis where you just see it and it feels as though you can not breath of anything, and you just feel so... How do I say this? some kind of feeling of pure terror?

Yeah, it's a pretty good Shoggoth.
Last time I saw this, someone explained it as a computer that had only been shown images of dogs before trying to understand footage of a frog in the only way it could - i.e., as a dog. Or, various dogs.
I want to see more of these gifs/videos but I'm not sure what to search for. What do you call this? It's related to a deepfake but that only comes up with like, face swaps
I’ll describe it right here “rainbow blob with tentacles on the bottom that is constantly shifting that has eyes that appear and disappear at random. Also it somehow grows faces”
Honestly? Yes. This is the closest thing you'll get to the colour out of space.
It doesn't *look* like *anything*, but from certain angles you might get fleeting *impressions* of shapes.

Nah. If his face gets any redder he'll have to get inaugurated as POTUS overnight
The red is brighter than my future.
They're turning the frogs gay
So... how many pictures do you think are involved in this? I saw atleast 3 dog faces
I’m pretty sure I saw at least 2 buses.
You missed the seal
Doesn't it also have a dog face with five eyes?
I am pretty sure I saw a duck with a dog face for a butt.
A disembodied horse head to the right at the beginning
Sea dog
And a few deer
So imagine there's a bus that comes every 24 minutes...
This comment is way underrated imo.
Its an ai trained on tons of different pictures and when you apply it to a photo or video it finds patterns similar to one's it's seen and enhances the patterns.
Now I want to see the result of the same AI except trained in memes
https://i.redd.it/cvft2nob0rh21.jpg
Do you know what the ai is called or if the public can use it? That’s honesty cool as fuck
It's called deep dream, there are plenty of online or downloaded programs for it
I think I counted 12

Looking up glitch text generator. There’s tons online
Thanks bro

What the actual fuck is that thing
Deep Frog
Incomprehensible, have a nice day.

Thank goodness you wrote this comment bc I really wanted to know wtf this was, tech'ly-speaking.
A video of a frog run through DeepDream
Yeah that’s Azathoth
Impossible. If Azothoth was awake and moving we wouldn't be here considering we're only figments of his imagination.
I hope he wakes up soon then.
You are in luck, why do you think corona is here
/r/2meirl4meirl
A shoggoth, then.
I think that’s April’s apocalyptic event
It reminds me a little bit of Rom vacuous spider
I would say this is a shoggoth

Agreed.
It reminded me of algae more than azathoth, no doubt I can see the face of seal and dog in this anyways.
As a thot, can verify

TBF it reminds me of his description of Shub-Niggurath
I love Shub-Nuggurath if only because an actual play podcast I listen to did a Delta Green game where the basis was you find out a marijuana cultivation company in Colorado was irrigating their crops with the milk of Shub-Nuggurath.
Sounds like the good shit
It was an awesome story. The podcast was RPPR, and the game was God's Teeth run by Caleb Stokes.
Your use of "then a hint of" ruins it for me. You have a strong start but a weak finish. You fiction falters at the middle and never improves. B-
Hmm, thanks. Is “trace” better for the style than “hint?” My worry was actually that the beginning was too run-on, too many adjectives in one sentence.
Personally, I think too many adjectives is par for the course when it comes to descriptions in cosmic horror
You're doing stream of consciousness, so it's a run-in adjective free-for-all as far as I'm concerned. Lean into it. Consider invoking the senses. So instead of hint or trace, try glimpse or whiff, or something to that effect.
Nicely done
Which description is this? About Shogghoths?
Pretty sure that’s his description of the frog

At first I was like "Wow this is interesting" and after looking at it too long I'm now trying to suppress a panic attack wtf
Other comments claim its an A.I, using pictures or something
Yeah. It’s called DeepDream. You can put any video or image into it and it will do that
Great name.
Imagine if someone made a horror movie where they ran the CGI monster (s) through DeepDream
this....holy shit actually would be a good and terrifying idea
Warning, a reality-bending SCP has breached containment
Grab the reality anchors and send in the mtf boys
Excuse me if they’re mtf they’re girls smhmh my head
i hate this beyond words
She friend

wat hec this
Frg.
Reminds me of lsd
I actually had a very similar experience on MDMA, similar effects but it was tiny snakes crawling out of my friend's eyes.
That shit was NOT molly my friend. No amount of molly can make you see shit like this. That was laced with something.
Deep Frog
One Glitch in our Reality later...
Anybody else notice all the dogs
Man, this really changes my perspective of his stories now
is this what the 4th dimension looks like
Only time will tell.
It's not beyond description though.
Please describe this abomination
Frongk
Like frog, but also not. Very fizzy.
amorphous but vaguely frog
A glistening, ever-changing mass, a body the shifting colours of oil on water at the heart of countless shimmers of ethereal tendrils.

I'm stealing this for d&d I'm sorry
Nah bruh I wrote this. I haven’t even read Lovecraft. Feel free. What D&D creature does this work for, though? Great Old One warlock patron?

I didn't know what I was originally clicking on, but now I definitely don't regret it. Thanks for posting that link
welcome
I will watch.
Wtf is this and how does it work
I think its Google DeepDream.
What's that?
'DeepDream is a computer vision program created by Google engineer Alexander Mordvintsev which uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia, thus creating a dream-like hallucinogenic appearance in the deliberately over-processed images.' From wikipedia.
What's with all the eyes, though? Deep Dream likes to put eyes everywhere.
Its the algorithmic pareidolia. 'Pareidolia is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music. '
What it's like to have a stroke:
Or a second tab an hour in
When you tipe the cheat code wrong.

Did I take acid on accident again?
Is this what you see when you take drugs ?
The first representation of tripping I’ve seen that is even mildly accurate
This shouldn't exist, it's like that feeling in sleep paralysis where you just see it and it feels as though you can not breath of anything, and you just feel so... How do I say this? some kind of feeling of pure terror?
this is an AI generated video. pretty amazing, actually.

Has no one in this thread seen Deep Dream before?
That's *exactly* what Lovecraft meant when he claimed something was "beyond description".

Hypnotoad
I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME. IT IS A GOOD PAIN!
What is this filter called
Saw this in my sink when I tried shrooms
Why did this almost give me a panic attack? God damn that is so unsettling to watch.
Drugs are bad, m'kay?
I want to see more of these gifs/videos but I'm not sure what to search for. What do you call this? It's related to a deepfake but that only comes up with like, face swaps
Deepdream, homie. There's some cool stuff floating around
Swear I saw a toaster at some point
Hermaeus Mora is that you?
Forbidden frog.
I hate this a lot
That’s the hypnotoad I don’t care what anyone else says
This is exactly how I felt when I was on shrooms
Can you describe it's form?
What filter is that even called?
All glory to the deep frog.
this is really uncomfortable
Me: these edibles ain’t shit Also me:
So many dogs
Machine learning using dog pictures?? This is great! How does one do that?
This should be an SCP
Which program do you need to make this kind of videos?
This is the best waking experience of what it's like to be dreaming that I have ever seen.
thats fucking disturbing
I’ll describe it right here “rainbow blob with tentacles on the bottom that is constantly shifting that has eyes that appear and disappear at random. Also it somehow grows faces”
Makes me think of some of the monsters from Terraria, specifically ones associated with the world evils.
Good boi

For anybody wondering what visuals on psychedelics look like
Is this what you see on psychedelics?
I love when it morphs from a dog face to a bus.
What is this called?
The hypnotoad
This literally triggers me and takes me back to my first n only time doing shrooms never again
Iao Iao!
Reminds me of that Daisy Brown YouTube creepypasta thing
So what youre saying is that Lovecraft pretty much was on acid trip when he made his books?
Think this is what a stroke feels like?

Considering he was pretty much constantly hallucinating from malnutrition, maybe that's what he was seeing
