This is somewhat tangential, but I really love how they published this research. This method has lots of interactive media visually explaining the result of their project. It was really easy to understand what they did, and fun to play around with the provided examples. I wish more research would end up online in a format like this!

I agree. Magenta, Tensorflow, Keras all have WebGL accelerated client side javascript libraries so interactive demos could become the norm.

The Scientific Paper is Obsolete

I'd be willing to get that Magenta, Tensforflow, Keras, and even WebGL will be obsolete long before the scientific paper in it's traditional form become obsolete. Animations and interactivity are cool and all, but the timelessness of plain text has already lasted thousands of years. And even though anyone who could speak those languages also died thousands of years ago, we're still able to interpret the meaning of a lot of them.
