is this like the time when proctor & gamble executives tried to get the tide R&D team to come up with a laundry detergent that would make you clothes newer every time you wash them?

I like how in the video pitch he says he's been "developing...since 1997", and in the text just says "an idea since 1997". Big difference there bub. And what the hell, a lovely cell phone recording? Couldn't even sit at a table and record it? I felt his hot cheeto breath on my face, way too close for comfort. The idea this goony chucklefuck could con people out of $200k is adorable. fake edit: I feel bad now, from his bio: quote:We had a son who is going to be two in October and i am doing this for him so when he starts gaming, it will be my games he plays. I hope he at least has a normal job before his super popular megastar gaming career takes off.

This is the kind of thing people get up to when they've had their Big Idea for 80 years by the way: http://www.victorycities.com/ Not a kickstarter proper, but rather a dude with a insane and mostly outdated plan who's been asking for money for longer than there's been commercial television in this country.

You could spend 25 bucks or you could put your phone in your loving pocket I hope to one day make money infringing on Nintendo's IP I would post a third but I believe no. 2 has more than enough stupid to make up for it. Edit: guess not This intensely lithuanian dude wants you to toss money at him so he'll maybe make a game Noyemi K has a new favorite as of 20:12 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Has the personal robot been talked about? If it hasn't I feel like it needs to be talked about. If it has, Its fully funded and I can't wait to see how well it actually works.

What suckers would spend $1,000 for a modern day R.O.B. ?

Cheez posted:There's a place, I assume in the US, just called The Art Institute. From what I gathered in my experiences of people who are going there, went therre, and came from there, it's a shithole of a place and nobody will come out of there smarter. I wouldn't be able to tell you which, since I've lost the link and "art institute" is an incredibly generic name for pretty much anything in regards to art, but you can almost be certain if they're running a lovely funding campaign for something they have no idea about, it's That One. There's actually two The Art Institutes. There's one that is a series of for-profit waste of time diploma mills that exists to fleece wannabe artists and then there's The Art Institute of Chicago, which is actually an art museum, possibly the second largest in the US, that does have a school attached to it, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which has been an accredited art college since the 1930s and that has produced varied and notable artists such as Edward Gorey, Hugh Hefner, Jeff Koons, LeRoy Neiman, and Orson Welles. Cheez posted:Unless they're stupid, then the 1000+ images they're taking will be used to model and animate a gun instead of all being textures. The high FPS camera is to capture the motions of the guns, I understand that much, it's just what happens after that gets vague. Noble Empire's Gun Disassembly/World Of Guns already exists and does better. I believe the next release of Gun Disassembly will include a shooting range, which I think the Facebook World of Guns already has. Apparently, the issue with them adding new guns is less access to exterior photos and more about internal mechanics, since they model the internals rigorously for both the disassembly and how everything works. jpmeyer posted:a first person shooter from the pov of the bullet Sniper Elite already exists e:fb

With all the stupid poo poo in that Kickstarter, I find this picture most amusing:  Their weird mock-up of it where it looks like the world's shittiest coat rack looks like it'd blow over if it stepped in front of an oscillating fan, but then they have this weirdly plausible image of a representation of the automatic home mapping. It kind of looks like maybe the house has some earthquake damage or something, though. They didn't think this would turn people off. The weird thing is that robots like this already exist that already work pretty okay. They're just telepresence robots, though. They're an iPad attached to like a Segway. The innovation with this thing is that it's an AI instead of a person controlling it. Except... it looks shittier than the telepresence robots. So I don't understand why they didn't just put this out as an app or after-market module to use with this thing: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2427997,00.asp ErIog has a new favorite as of 02:04 on Feb 12, 2015 |

The Shrink wrap stuff is great. all the pictures make it look like a skin-tight cover (because they just did a crop select and fill with black in Photoshop) and then the actual picture of the prototype stuff is literally just poorly fitting shrink wrap.

I noticed they had a "test our object recognition algorithms" link: http://www.robotbase.com/ai-platform/object-recognition I punched in a nice clear portrait photo of my cat. It told me it was a "zoo, sleep, dog, mammal". A second portrait informed me he was a "dog, mammal, puppy, canine". A photo of my dog asleep on the sofa yielded "fish, life science, clothing, biology, painting". This will work well. moerketid has a new favorite as of 11:57 on Feb 12, 2015 |

 Oh sure, it finds absolutely nothing weird about the nightmare prop baby from the deleted scenes of the final Twilight movie. Maybe because it's a lifeless artificial construct. edit: I tried a famous internet picture.

eh, I can't hate 'em. It's probably gonna be a lovely game, but there's some drat good business sense going on there, they're not promising a perpetual motion engine or a machine that scans your food for toxins or a rape manual. They're not even charging thousands of dollars for virtual virtual spaceships for a game that will never be finished. They're just selling a lovely card game to dumb nerds, and for all the dumb bullshit, chances are those dumb nerds will indeed get their lovely cardgame and it will make them happy.
