Developed by artist and speaker Dries Depoorter, The Flemish Scrollers is a machine learning system that watches live-streams of the Flemish government at work, detecting and identifying officials distracted by their phones (or scrolling on their phones — hence The Flemish Scrollers), and automatically uploads the footage to Twitter with

In bad news, this is a video of Engineering Arts’ humanoid robot Ameca (previously) attempting to grab the arm of an actual person who boops its nose. Granted,you shouldn’t just go around booping noses all willy-nilly, but you also shouldn’t teach robots to aggressively respond to human interaction. This will

Because you can never have too high a resolution of a good thing, Youtuber Nick Acosta is in the process of upscaling the 1978 classic Star Wars Holiday Special to 4K resolution. This is a trailer of the special featuring that upscaling. It’s pretty remarkable considering most copies of the

This is a video of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster in Manchester Township, New Jersey that’s been colorized and upscaled to 4K for maximum humanity.

Seen here being powered by what appears to be a Bose brand arc reactor, this is a video of Engineered Arts’ Ameca humanoid robot demonstrating its eerie ability to make realistic human facial expressions. Ameca was “designed to improve human-robot interaction, and as a vehicle for AI technology,” which I

This is a video of software engineer Greg Cannon demonstrating the capabilities of StackedRabbit, a NES Tetris playing artificial intelligence system he developed that plays the game with no human reaction time limitations and at 60Hz, making movements as fast as the game allows. In this particular scenario, it also

This is the music video for Paul McCartney’s new collaboration with Beck ‘Find My Way’, featuring Beck deepfaked as a dancing “de-aged” McCartney throughout the video. It’s all fine enough. Would I write home about it? Who writes home anymore? What is this, the 1800’s? I just text my parents

This is ‘7777 Days’, Noah Kalina’s selfie-a-day project that he’s maintained for the last 21 years, with all his faces perfectly aligned, upscaled to 4K, and averaged over the past two months by Michael Notter using machine learning systems. Some more info about what you’re actually watching: …once the faces
