No! See, possessions aren't real so when the bank evicts you just keep living there because nothing matters.

that's literally what sovcits do, they just move right back in after the sheriff forces them out and there's no way to actually stop it due to the bureaucracy of big banks and law firms being afraid of liability

Has fake video and audio crossed the uncanny valley threshold yet?

I heard this on NPR, their voices weren't quite there but it was close.

Gonna be rad in a couple years when prosecuting attorneys in murder trials discredit video evidence that would exonerate the defendant as faked

Well, yes it already has, blockbuster movies do a shitload more fake video and audio than people notice.

It really comes down to how much budget you have.

there's also tech out there that, with enough clearly-recorded sourced material (like say, a televised address), you can generate somewhat convincing text-to-speech. buzzfeed used Mr. Famous Man for clicks

It's basically the same way modern speech synthesis works. Like the different voices you can select in whatever text2speech setup you have, those are all collections of phoneme samples and metadata. The more phonemes and phoneme clusters, and the more accurate the metadata is, the better the voice.

The trick is to generate those voices automatically from say a televised speech. It probably helps that there are subtitles to guide the speech recognition so it knows which phonemes it's hearing.

quote:

Researchers at Yale University have restored circulation to the brains of decapitated pigs, and kept the organs alive for several hours.

Their aim is to develop a way of studying intact human brains in the lab for medical research.

Although there is no evidence that the animals were aware, there is concern that some degree of consciousness might have remained.

I know everyone thought that was just Soviet propaganda, but they did do something similer with monkeys in the 70s in the US.

But keeping a brain alive for 36 hours without a body is loving nuts. Worse is they want to use the brains to test drugs.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
