The photos aren't available but the trained model is. It's a set of weights.

Run it backwards in inception mode? I wonder if it could generate porn, or what Gigeresque horrors would come out if somebody tried.

I actually tried that. It's not as interesting as you'd think. Perhaps having an 'other' category makes it more difficult.

It's trivial to drop the model into the deepdream ipython notebook they provide: https://github.com/google/deepdream/blob/master/dream.ipynb

Tried again. Better: http://i.imgur.com/ALoLmcX.jpg

Seriously, though, synthesis using a recognition model can be a good reality check to remind us of the shortcomings of the model's "understanding" of the domain.
