A fledgling campaign to recall the judge who sentenced a former Stanford University swimmer to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman gained momentum Friday as three prominent political consultants joined the effort.

When law enforcement arrived, one of the deputies, in a loud voice, asked the victim several times, “Can you hear me?”

There was no response. Paramedics tried a “shake and shout” technique and applied a physical pain stimulant. Still no response. She vomited once but didn’t regain consciousness.

In an ambulance later, a deputy tried to wake her repeatedly, without success. There was still no response after an EMT stuck an IV needle in the young woman’s arm.The victim finally regained consciousness about 4:15 a.m. at a hospital. Later that morning, doctors said her blood alcohol concentration was 0.12 percent — and estimated her intoxication level at the time of the assault to be 0.22 percent.

"It's ... worth noting, I think, that many successful machine-made works, like the [music of EMI](https://www.amazon.com/Experiments-Musical-Intelligence-Computer-Digital/dp/0895793377) or Cope's subsequent machine creativity project, [Emily Howell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Howell), or the screenplay for [Sunspring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspring), rely heavily on interpretation by humans, making the machine prominence of the source a novelty which **excuses the search for meaning instead of encouraging it.**

By which I mean, it's difficult to say what Benjamin, the AI that wrote Sunspring, could possibly be getting at, because Benjamin is an artificial intelligence. The common sense read is that Benjam

  %{>"Welcome! I think you'll find that writing code that writes a book that is not-boring to read for the first few hundred words is not too difficult.

Every November is "National Novel Generation Month" (NaNoGenMo), a competition inspired by the more famous NaNoWriMo. In NaNoGenMo, the goal is to write computer code that can write a novel of 50,000 words or more. It started in 2013 and the only rules are that you must provide a copy of your novel and the source code to qualify.

Would he not have denied that it contained any potentiality of consciousness? Yet in the course of time consciousness came. Is it not

#NaNoGenMo 2016

NaNoGenMo stands for National Novel Generation Month. Can you write code that can generate a 50,000-word novel in one month? Since it started in 2013, it has slowly gained a reputation for innovation in tackling a very hard problem (generating text at scale) in a variety of different ways.

[NaNoGenMo 2016](https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2016) appeared to be less active than [NaNoGenMo 2015](https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2015) or [NaNoGenMo 2014](https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2014). It had less issues and less stars overall. Media attention, once widespread and viral, has dropped off significantly - the only news article of note was [Nerdcore](http://www.nerdcore.de/2016/11/30/█-blackout-█-generative-censorship-poetry/)'s acknowledgement of the existence of the generative novel [The Days Left Foreboding and Water](https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2016/issues/119).
