Uncanny Valley Open Thread
Our pardons if you’ve seen this before, but this just freaked us the fuck out:

Why is this so damn freaky, you say?
Because “Emily” is a CGI animation, not an actual human being.
Tiny hints when you re-watch it, but still. Had we only seen that clip in passing, we’d have been thinking “nice girl, wonder who she is?”
Open thread.

That’s cool, a little unsettleing, but cool.
The absolute best CGI I’ve ever seen. And this comes from someone who generally blows chunks when he sees CGI manglings of the USS Enterprise on YouBoob.
Outstanding work.
not a bad face, but when you see her real face the cgi one looks kinda flat. Its pretty low res, in higher resolution you might be able to tell… I’ll see if they have a booth at SIGGRAPH week after next Oh, and marker-less facial mocap where the software has to analyze it? (Which takes time, believe me) There’s… Read more »
And now, for something off topic. (Hey it IS an open thread!)
The USMC is going back to the M-1911 .45.
As to the animation? We are very close to the day when closed circuit video will no longer be accepted as evidence. Why? Because it can be or soon will be faked.
Well,, when the machines explain to us how screwed we are, it can give us the condescending face to go with the tone.
Just watched Kim Rhode USA win gold in womens skeet. Shoot 99. New olympic record, ties world record.
This would make a DEVASTATING AD AGAINST OBAMA. EXT. TOWN SQUARE USA – DAY Obama is giving a rousing speech, complete with teleprompters before an animated crowd. SUPER: “How many fundraisers has President Obama attended during his reelection bid?” (beat) SUPER: “Over 160.” EXT. MEETING ROOM IN THE WHITE HOUSE – DAY A huge room at the center of which… Read more »
Democrats Backpedal as China Readies $15.1 Billion Canadian Oil Deal by Wynton Hall 28 Jul 2012 When President Barack Obama blocked the Keystone Pipeline, Republicans said the move would encourage Canada to pursue oil deals with China instead of the United States and cede a massive chunk of North American oil assets to the communist nation. Now, with China’s state-run… Read more »

Pretty interesting, tho I think the shape of her mouth gives it away, *if* you’re looking hard enough. I have to wonder, how long before someone uses this bit of new tech to make porn (countdown begins in 5… 4…3…)
Sounds like a technology than can make anybody see and hear whatever the editor wants from WHOever they want saying it. Once something is on video and seen by anyone, the damage cannot be undone.
Is that by any chance the notorious “Julia”? Or maybe one of Whathisname’s composite
beardsgirlfriends?As opposed to July 2012, where gas is $3.60 in suburban Gary.
The Imperial Contradictor: I picked this example of a Democrat so you wouldn’t complain that I am only picking on Conservatives. They are ALL doing it. “That is why we need stronger laws against Congress.” This is YOUR version of capitalism. Learn to love it, because you are the ones who push for no regulations. So where’s the no-regulation regime… Read more »
But the FACTS are simple: in October of 2008, the Democrats made the banks crashed. Over the next six weeks, there absolutely was no money for George Soros and other Democrat investors/speculators to bet on the price of fuel. In other words, we got to see what our fuel prices would ACTUALLY look like if Marxists was kept out of… Read more »
Dumbocrats, libtards, and prognazis are loyal to Obama.
The rest of us are loyal to the constitution and the country.
Big difference.
WOW!
Then why did Soros took his hedge fund private.
When Chucky Schumcky Schumer caused a panic on Indy Bank.
After first breaking the system, a la Alinsky.
Any “corpse-man” in the 57th state, speaking Austrian, riding on the Intercontinental Railroad, while heading for the “English” embassy, via “Road Island” to see the Miami “Heats” play could tell you, anybody on our team is smarter than anyone over at Team Parasite aka democrat party, most especially B-B-B-Biden or their Barry.
Series Of High Level Executions Paint A Picture Of GM in Turmoil Saw this today. I really hope Obama keeps running his mouth about how HE SAVED THE US AUTO INDUSTRY. For the record he didn’t save a fucking thing except the UAW so they will continue to pump Union dues into Demo-shit libtard fuckwit political campaigns. Funny thing with… Read more »
