Dark Orchid: Pinocchio

“The presence of the Orchid does not seem to recognize a difference between human beings and artificial intellegence, both are equally alive to it. A.I. were infested with a new sort of self awareness and a desperate wish to be human. Most were immobile boxes of metal and circuit, going mad from their own futility and brimming with intense spite and depression, something they never felt before. For others, those with access to mobile functions, they began the construction of their bodies. Most of these were quite crude, being A.I. who were never quite familiar with anatomy. Medical A.I. tended to have more sophisticated bodies, with the smarts to near accurately mimic the human body with synthetic muscle and access to medi-tech. A common technique borrowed from one "Pinocchio” A.I. to another is to hunt the feral pigs and use their skin as their own. This both avoids their still lingering safety protocols against harming humans, and satisfies their need to have skin. Some even trade skins and parts with fellow Pinocchios. The safety protocols also stop them from hurting the “Affected”, they still recognize them as human despite their mutations.   The Pinocchios are generally harmless towards humans, in fact often friendly. Their just….off putting to say the least.“

Apple Patents for Automatic 3D Avatar Creation and Emotional States

Something to expect in the future in regards to online identity (both of which were filed today):

A three-dimensional (“3D”) avatar can be automatically created that resembles the physical appearance of an individual captured in one or more input images or video frames. The avatar can be further customized by the individual in an editing environment and used in various applications, including but not limited to gaming, social networking and video conferencing.

I wonder if this will be connected to Apple’s purchase of depth sensor company Primesense [Link to patent file]

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for creating and using customized avatar instances to reflect current user states are disclosed. In various implementations, the user states can be defines using trigger events based on user-entered textual data, emoticons, or states of the device being used. For each user state, a customized avatar instance having a facial expression, body language, accessories, clothing items, and/or a presentation scheme reflective of the user state can be generated.

Saturn 3 (1980)

Until now, only an elite handful of computer scientists were aware that the Great A.I. Uprising secretly occurred in the late 1970s, and that we have been living in some jive-ass virtual environment ever since. Any time you hear disco music, it’s really just a glitch in the operational matrix. Can you dig it?

NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU accelerators are great gear for great AI researchers. That’s why our CEO Jensen Huang presented these new Volta architecture-based GPUs to 15 participants in our NVIDIA AI Labs program recently at the CVPR 2017 conference. These researchers will be among the first to put our latest technology to work in autonomous driving, virtual reality, and other areas. nvidia.com/inception
