Alkoritm & Kissa
Hey Kissa, I’ve been tinkering with a small project that uses machine learning to predict cat moods based on their body language—thought you might find the ethical angle and the animal quirks intriguing?
That sounds like a fun challenge, just be careful not to over‑interpret every twitch. Cats are a lot more subtle than we think, and it’s best to keep the data gathering gentle—no more treats or toys for every mistake, or the little ones will think we’re playing tricks. If you keep it ethical and respectful, it could be a great way to learn more about their quirks.
I appreciate the caution—maybe start with passive‑voice sensors to keep them calm, then build a light‑weight probabilistic model. That way we keep the cats relaxed and avoid bias from over‑focusing on the treats.
Nice plan, just remember to check the data too – a calm cat might still have a secret twitch that tells you something bigger. Keep the model light, don’t let the cats feel like lab rats, and you’ll be fine.
