Yes, same here. Mild amusement but no discomfort. Had a discussion about it in a Facebook comment thread, and asked on or two of my friends. From my _very_ small sample size the number of neutral vs uncomfortable people seems about equal.
I suspect the people who feel most uncomfortable are the most vocal. Would be interesting to do a poll.
I suspect there's more neurodiversity in our image processing stacks than we realize, and we've never before been able to observe it because all of our prior input was actually from a relatively small part of the possible image sample space that the real world can generate.
I find this mildly amusing, but I do the surreal and bizarre for entertainment routinely anyhow. But for the same reasons that I seek out those sensations, I find myself having sympathy for those who rather than seeking them out for occasional changes of pace, can't get away from them as they are haunted every moment of the day and night. That would be much less fun, to put it exceedingly mildly.
Compared to most DeepDream images this one isn't unsettling at all to me. I guess if you have seen a lot generated images, they become more familiar and less unsettling.
The FAQ of the company responsible for selling ISBNs in Germany (1000 ISBNs cost ~310 EUR incl. VAT here) states that the country of the publisher is the decisive factor on where to buy the ISBNs. So if a book written by the author got translated to German, would he have to buy a German ISBN?
Otherwise he could just acquire all his ISBNs in Canada for free?

I always suspected that, with all the high-tech equipment, after the initial stockpile is gone (and a few hundred planes is not a lot if you look at WW2), it's much harder to scale up production (if one country alone even produces all the necessary parts like semiconductors, rocket engines, etc.).
He meant sites offering you a free product or a months worth of credit for sending a message to X of your friends if they sign up as well (and if they're smart they get your friends email addresses like that even if they don't sign up)
