Looking at her Instagram, I think they just replace the model's face. Otherwise you'd have to re-create all the clothes etc. Paying a no-name model and replacing his/her face is probably the cheapest option.

yea i think itll start out with people basically selling the rights to pictures of themselves that then have the faces replaced

From what I've been seeing most "influencers" aren't real anyway, every picture is heavily edited.

That tech already exists! Though afaik it's only being used to encourage makeup try-ons rather than flattering customers.

yeah this definitely seems like the logical evolution of what we’ve already been doing with makeup and lighting, then airbrushing and photoshop. there are already examples of hilariously unrealistic representations of beauty. this just pushes a little farther.

it doesn't even push farther. it just automates what we already have

people have been touching up appearances with computers for at least a decade. but it took some actual human time and effort, so you had to either waste some time doing it or pay someone else to waste their time. that made it expensive to touch up large amounts of photos or video frames, which limited its use

what we're going to see soon is it becoming trivial to do, a one-button task that requires little to no human interaction and doesn't take very long. "remove my freckles and zits" and "take 10 pounds off my weight" will be as easy to use as instagram filters. they'll be available to everyone and essentially free to use, so they can be applied to every photo someone takes rather than the user having to pick and choose a limited number to enhance

Parents are spending thousands on YouTube camps that teach kids how to be famous

Various YouTube summer camps have begun launching across the nation, designed to turn regular elementary and middle-school-aged children into bonfire internet sensations.

Per a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, parents are spending nearly $1,000 dollars a week for their children to learn how to create branded social media-related content. Though YouTube is not affiliated with or in any communication with any summer program, such camps are on the rise, and parents with means have made them a thing.

One summer camp gaining traction is YouTube STAR Creator Studio. Located in Culver City, California, its website states that it “branches out from traditional storytelling to how to create the fun and hilarious content that kids love to watch.”

The camp is designed for those in first through sixth grade, according to the website, and charges $375 dollars a week.

Don't think so other than introducing the concepts and making you think critically like many puzzle games.

Does space chem teach you much chemistry? Yeah a little bit I guess. You could be playing much dumber games.

oh TIS-100 probably does a little bit, like in terms of concepts and how very simple assembly code worked on CPUs from the 70s, though that game in particular models a fictional multi-core system that never existed. so its fictional, ultra-simple syntax, but the syntax is never the hardest part about learning coding imo

but idk I've been playin around with code since I was a small child so I didnt rly learn anything except that a very basic mystery story is enough for me to play a game for hours that feels like work half the time

it teaches paradigms of design and aspects of optimization; they are very good engineering simulators for what it's worth and the histograms reinforce this. basically every zachtronics game follows the pattern of starting state - ???????????? - end state, and they give you all of the tools (and rope) and tell you to go nuts. usually you can brute force a solution, which is usually awful but gets the job done. there's the the intended solution, which hits the sweet spot of cleverness vs effort. and then there's the optimal solutions which either minimize cycles, parts required, space, etc.

it's the programming equivalent of this:


like mentioned earlier, the syntax is the easiest part of any programming language.
