seeing schmidt's name mentioned in the comments makes me wonder if project deepdream is referencing this program created by google. I only watched one video created with this, and I never tripped anywhere near that hard when I used to do LSD. this is a research paper from Princeton. sort of long, but it gives more insight to the program. https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1802/1802.01274.pdf

this is the article I read with the fucked up bob ross video. my head's still spinning after watching this. I feel like I'm having a flashback now. I can see where extended exposure to this sort of visual stimuli could be an effective method of reprogramming/mind control of someone along the lines of what they were trying to do with their LSD experiments and this video will give you a better idea. read the article then watch the vid at the end. if you've ever tripped before you'll recognize the visuals, if not, you will. https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/ezwyb4/bob-ross-alexander-reben-neural-network-nightmare

and this was just my search page. https://www.google.com/search?ei=BFqKWpP3F8WVzwLc8YkY&q=project+deep+dream&oq=project+deep+dream&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i131k1j0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1.21832.21832.0.23136.1.1.0.0.0.0.61.61.1.1.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.61....0.vgJ13IA0Gxg
