I decided to explore the use of Twitter’s API in Python to perform some fun projects.
I wrote a Twitter bot called “Random Art Baby” that when prompted, would respond to users with artwork.
This art was randomly generated using the library I had developed for my initial exploration with graphical user interfaces for visualizing probability distributions.
This also provided me the opportunity to explore some machine learning code for the generation of natural language speech based on training examples.
We’re reducing taxes but at any rate: go and start World War III, OK?
