Reality Edited in Real Time: New Tech Shows Why You Cant Trust Anything You See on the NewsBy Melissa Dykes So-called reality can be edited in real-time. Its the matrix. The project is a joint effort in progress between Stanford, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. According to the projects abstract, via Stanford University: We present a novel approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). The source sequence is also a monocular video stream, captured live with a commodity webcam. Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of the target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a photo-realistic fashion. To this end, we first address the under-constrained problem of facial identity recovery from monocular video by non-rigid model-based bundling. At run time, we track facial expressions of both source and target video using a dense photometric consistency measure. Reenactment is then achieved by fast and efficient deformation transfer between source and target. The mouth interior that best matches the re-targeted expression is retrieved from the target sequence and warped to produce an accurate fit. Finally, we convincingly re-render the synthesized target face on top of the corresponding video stream such that it seamlessly blends with the real-world illumination.We demonstrate our method in a live setup, where Youtube videos are reenacted in real time. (More info on this project via Stanfords website here.) While it may not be pixel-perfect YET, Tech Crunchs response is the same thing on everyones mind after watching the original video (which is well on its way to a million views even though its only been up for three days): Even in the relatively low-res clips were shown, theres an uncanny valley effect of something being not quite right. But hot damn is it impressive (and, well, more than a little spooky) even in this early stage. Why spooky? Technology like this will serve to make video less inherently believable. The videos use of politicians as the editing target is pretty self-aware. In that regard, political hoaxes will hit a lot harder when its a video instead of a shopped picture being forwarded around. Yeah, nothing about this is comforting. But also, how long has this technology really been available? We all know that whatever technology the general population is being shown currently exists, the military-industrial complex is likely decades ahead of it. In the original videos comments section, scores of people pointed out the dangers of this technology in the Orwellian nightmare we currently find ourselves living in. One person said it should be stopped because of a scary potential for misuse, to which someone else replied, Potential for misuse? I cant think of a reason youd want this technology in the first place besides abusing it. If government use of propaganda against US citizens has now been legalized (and it has) If video of a world leader giving a speech can be hijacked and edited in real-time, complete with, say, a full soundboard created by government software that can take ten minutes of a person talking and match the speech patterns to make convincing audio of a person saying anything they want him to And if drills can look as real as the real thing Can you trust anything you see on the news? And if seeing and hearing arent believing How virtual has our reality already become before virtual reality even goes global?

Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. Oh, thats just awesome. They dont even need to bother with actors anymore. There goes my attempts at convincing my pensioner parents that the media is controlled. But I saw Putin saying he was going to attack us on CNN. *sigh* Been there, wish I hadnt done that. I had the same problem with my CNN-addicted mother. She watched CNN ALL DAY LONG! The propaganda she spouted non-stop used to freak me out completely, but then one day I just decided to let her spew and forget about it. I highly recommend that, for you and them. Would it help if you got them to watch this video? Bit too late for that. Mom passed on, taking with her many years wasted on CNN BS that served her no purpose whatsoever. Lesson learned. Sad, yet still you added Lesson learned. so some good was achieved Its all smoke screen and mirrors until Jesus Christ returns, and then what will you have to say for yourself? Jesus will return as a hologram only, poor moron ! Are you the pot or the kettle? It doesnt matter, it takes one to know one. .. to know one ? Ad Hominem Definition Ad hominem (Latin) means against the man. As the name suggests, it As intelligence is diminished superstition increases. Exactly. Thanks for backing me up on that. You really have a problem IMHO Not only intelligence, but, more topically, thinking ability and logic. They got rid of the teaching of Logic in schools many years ago in preparation for today. Correct. The more liberal and anti God this country has gotten, the stupider people have gotten. There is a direct correlation that cannot be denied. Actually the correlation is blatantly obvious to anyone who still has any cognitive ability. God? Which God? What is this concept that you expect us to know about. Surely Not the old testament God who demanded human sacrifices. His followers are poison to any sane civilisation. yawn i remember when atheists used to just STFU now they run all around the far reaching ends of the WWW to debunk Christianity and religion .. they are the new cult .. and they should just go back to being quiet . because if people dont want to hear about religion .. they sure dont want to hear about what you do or do not believe in .. trust me .. nobody does .. even if it makes you feel better to hear yourself. I just intend to expose the filthy demon called Jehovah that the tribe managed to smuggle into Christs religion in the form of the Old Testament. ..its really nothing that sinister .people believe what they want to believe and they dont believe what they dont believe no religious spin necessary. . . So those selling non religion are the modern-day snake-oil salesmen .more so than the folks selling religion now it seems So the concept of people making a rational, informed choice is foreign to you? please be as rational and as informed as you can be. just dont be misinformed and try to pass it off as ..yknow .. informed. Why did you avoid my question? It is readily apparent by your reply that you only make Strawman arguments. Human sacrifices? LOL. NOT! And you dont even know who His followers are. How can you, when you obviously dont even know Him so as to make that determination. Perhaps you look at people and think they represent God. Tisk, tisk. We were made by the gods to be primitive workers. We are a mixture of their DNA and neanderthal. We have fused chromosomes which is not possible in nature or with evolution. that is proof enough that we were created. that is why we are weak, have very short lives, and why it is so hard to truly become born again in the spirit which means to leave your body. Which god is an appropriate question as there is a whole planet full of them coming back now. thats what the toxic chemtrails hide. Some gods like humans they made but many hate us and have twice before wiped out humanity and theyre about to do it again. The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 and blamed on Iran, America will be destroyed by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day. Planet X will end the war when it rips the earth apart again but 90% of Americans will be dead already. All planned by your evil government. They also sell the dumbing-down as a kind of sophistication. When the government first MANDATED that all television stations broadcast a digital signal instead of analog and then spent millions to make sure everyone had the proper receiver for it, there was only one logical reason. The manipulation of real time video feeds. I told everyone at the time that now you truly cant believe anything you see on TV including live news coverage. SO now they can cut into (nano bits) and re-arrange the bits to what they wish. Cripe another reason to just live off grid. We are all brainwashed from birth (thanks, Disney) to believe that movies are entertainment and not real, whereas TV news is real, when in fact its just the opposite. Movies are subliminal predictive programming that place ideas and concepts in the group mind. The media moguls know that the group mind is a very powerful reality-creating force. The big Hollywood blockbusters reach millions of people, who end up holding certain ideas (mostly fears and similar mind worms and memes) that eventually play out for real in future time. TV news is considered real, but instead it is the fiction they want the group mind to create. Get it? Its opposite day at the Happy Farm! Differentiate between Disney the man and the current company. The man actually at least tried to be a force for good his company now does not. He was the only hold out against the Tribes Hollywood takeover. That is definitely debatable. Which bit? I was imagining the contrast between Fantasia and any of the current crap. Dont you remember what you typed? How you praise Walt Disney without even knowing him? Hypocrite. You are worse than a Catholic. Try being nice. Were all learning here, you included. No sir. I am not learning anything here. I am sick of being nice to haters and liberal idiots. And I dont appreciate your political interjection. You sound just like those who say Violence solves nothing while they use violence to keep you a slave, or those who say whites are racist while ignoring the blatant racist nature of that statement. So you agree with me and then call me a hater? You seem a little confused. Just because I agree with you on one thing does not mean we are of one accord on everything. Why dont you read some of your friends unsolicited comments below. If you havent already. Then you will see hate and confusion. Also I never called you a hater. Why dont you brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Or perhaps your conscious made you think I was referring to you when I made that comment. Seriously. I have said nothing hateful. But just like a typical liberal you take true speech as hate speech. Not that you are a typical liberal but you have definitely fallen into that faulty way of thinking. And just for your benefit I will give you a hint. LSD did not expand your mind and you probably dont even realize the damage it did to you. No one asked you to moderate and no one wants you to moderate and you are not qualified to moderate. You havent read all of this guys posts. Or you have and you agree with him and you are coming to his defense. Participation on a thread does not equal friendships. I am not a liberal, I am not moderating, and you cannot make a single statement about LSD unless you actually tried it yourself, which you obviously havent, so you know nothing about it other than your opinion. You are hateful and angry and your The world is full of idiots statement on your disqus profile says it all. You obviously think you are superior to and of a higher intelligence than the rest of us so just for your benefit I will give you a hint: kindness is the real intelligence. And of course you come to the defense of your precious LSD. Then you give me the usual feel good kindness is intelligence liberal mantra that proves that you are a liberal and saying you were not trying to moderate proves you are a liar. And if you dont think that the world is full of idiots then you prove own ignorance. Ah. I see youre a Christian. That explains why youre hateful, morally superior, and insulting. Jesus happens to be the one who spoke of kindness, but I guess that makes him a liberal like me. All these ridiculous labels you are throwing around on this thread are meaningless insults, you should give them up for Lent. Jesus died a horrible, painful death on the cross for you, its the least you can do. While youre at it, get on your knees like a good little muffin and pray for deliverance, redemption and forgiveness. We are all sinners, but only the ones with callused knees get saved. ya, youre intelligent all right. You really have the label thing down well. So far Im an insecure, damaged liberal, a moderator, and a liar. And you make all these presumptions based on coming to a website called selfnews Post, where you are sure to find a pile of liberals to insult, so you can preach the gospel. So much for all that Love Your Neighbor and Do Unto Others crap. Why are Christians the most unChristian people on the planet? That is too funny. Your friend goes on an unsolicited tirade about God and the people who blindly follow Him (straw man). Then he praises Walt Disney without even knowing the man, so I call him a hypocrite. Then you jump in like some self righteous moderator. I tell you to mind your own business. And now you accuse me of preaching. And then try your best to insult me cause you think I am a Christian when you have never met a Christian in your life. LMFAO And by the way. It is good you edited your response because Jesus is a false name for a false religion. Are you sure you are not Catholic? Nope, but Im sure tired of you. You mean a better understanding of reality, and better mental health? Those are the only long term effects Ive ever heard about. Youve Certainly tried your best to be hateful to me. Mr. In My Humble Opinion isnt so humble, is he? I guess he doesnt much like us. Dang. He sounds like one of those CIA/NSA disrupter agents who glom around liberal websites and disrupt conversations that tread on whatever ground they are trying to protect. Maybe, maybe hes just a fruitcake, doesnt much matter. I apologize that I allowed myself to get sidetracked with all his silly BS. Hes young, passionate and given over to Faith based theology hes ignorant (youth will do that to you) and doesnt understand the I Chings hexagram Modesty (modern schooling is CERTAIN to do that) So hes not the least bit humble and he probably thinks we are shills for the Devil. Its amazing how predictive the opposites principle seems to be. Its also amazing how/why people who have explicitly renounced reason (by declaring their trust/reliance on Faith, Revelation, Knowledge, Prophecy etc) still continue to try to argue rationally and as if they were actually fact based. Even in their debates, when they should, logically, just stick their fingers in their ears and go La La La. Im guessing that its a sort of partitioning of their minds. I like to play with them sometimes for as long as there is a little amusement in it anyway. They do get tiresome though. Actually I try to keep aware of the lurkers, nothing sinister but there are hundreds of views for each comment, I think they are a good bunch of dudes and Dudeses that think a lot but just like to watch I try to give them some laughs. Hahaha I knew you were cool. I did not pick up the youth part, but now it all falls into place. My highly-educated nephew has the same annoying arrogance of youth attitude. The attempt to argue fact using faith turns logic on its head, and I keep seeing this everywhere! I also find myself toying with these people but this time I just let him get under my skin. Live, learn and laugh. I guess since IMHO decided were friends, we might as well be. Thanks for the smile. Youre welcome Im meeting some good people this time round on the Net very glad to add you that list. Yes, being old has many advantages, you get to exchange a young body for wisdom, not a bad deal really, especially if you can stay mentally and physically healthy and fit. I was living with one of the top IBM computer engineer in the 80s. I had one of the first PCs that existed in the world before they were even sold to the public, got my first ISP connection in 1995. What a long, strange trip its been. I got into mac computers via being a printer. i came across an article in a trade journal about a computer/laser printer system, called the Lisa from Apple, that did typesetting and printed out finished artwork for making printing plates. It seemed like sci-fi the way this computer worked, you moved this cursor around the screen with a mouse (I got mad at the author because he never explained what a mouse was and I had to figure it out myself) and the only time you typed anything was when you were entering text to be printed. OMG, what a hoot! To think this was only 30 years ago blows me away. When I got my first PC it came in a shopping bag full of parts. My engineer friend plugged it all together and said, Okay, heres your new computer. All it had was a A on the screen. No freaking language! No programs had been written yet! If you wanted to use the dang thing, you had to learn Basic. I got really inspired by this and wrote the first commodity trading program in the world for the firm where I worked as a trader at the time. They thought I was a genius! Only they ended up firing a whole battery of traders and bought my bag of parts computer and my program, which replaced the work of ten people right off. I was devastated, had no idea this would happen and I felt really awful. So I quit that job, started working for a law firm that had a fully integrated Mac server set up. My first day on the job I was like, Mac? Oh pleeese. My boss said, Once you go Mac, you never go back, and that turned out to be the biggest truth ever spoken, at least regarding computers. That was in 1992 or so. Are we a riot or what? Well I think so I never heard of HyperCard, it sounds really interesting, but I did not follow the programming path anymore once i realized the ramifications. My friend transferred into IBMs robotics program while all this was going on and told me we would be transhuman within a few decades. I had a serious ethics debate with myself and decided I wanted no part of that and shortly after that he left his big shot career at IBM for the same reason. We just decided to buy a sailboat and get outta Dodge, Inc. for awhile. But I am happy to report that I am also proud member of the Bill Gate Hate Club. If there is such as thing as an anti-christ (I have no such belief myself) but if Im wrong and there is, hes my top choice. The man has killed and maimed thousands of children (among many other dastardly deeds only somewhat less evil) and yet he walks around like a king and is treated like a god. Diabolical doesnt quite describe him. Dont get me going on this, pleeese! LOL There is something about SailBoats I think it might be the dose of reality they tend to impose. You also agree with me on those issues you mention yet you hate me it appears your problem is your faith which, by definition, is a mental disease. I didnt agree with you on any issue. Apparently you are unable to discern what you read. You reminded me of how much Christians love to be persecuted is coming here like wearing a hair shirt, meant to improve your soul with suffering? I typed Differentiate between Disney the man and the current company. The man Agreed. I worked for Disney when he opened the Orlando park. Forty-five years later, knowing what I know now, I can definitely state the company was globalist programming from Day One. Was Disney the man still alive then? Your dates indicate that was 1970, did Disney live till then? No, he died a few years before the park was opened, but Walt was instrumental in the vision and planning. His brother took over after he died. Almost the entire sprawling complex that exists today was planned years ago, they had a mock-up of what it would eventually look like as it was built in stages over the years. Disney is more about movies than the parks though; the whole ball of wax is a giant programming tool, especially the insane consumerism/product marketing to children. Damn! I really thought he was at least trying to do good. As a child my father took me to see Fantasia and it definitely had a very positive effect on me and I contrasted that with his disgust at The Jungle Book that, in his opinion, slandered and demeaned the original by Kipling (which I didnt know then but agree with now) and I interpreted that to indicate the contrast between the original Disney and his successors. Our souls long to feel child-like wonder once again as we break down the illusions of the matrix in which we were raised, but you cant really and truly grow up until you do. Fantasia was especially evocative because it was about wizardry and occult symbolism. Im probably older than you because I watched Fantasia on LSD with a bunch of college buds. The original LSD compounds available back then let you see through the illusions in a very clear way, one of the reasons it was criminalized like marijuana. I understand you. I guess the main value it had for me was the introduction to classical music. NeoCons heads on a post. I dont mean to be a jerk but i feel compelled to point out that it is not possible to know with any certainty whether or not Jesus Christ and/or God ever existed. You either believe it or you dont believe it. You have faith or you dont; thats it. The fact that you treat an idea that any school age child could recognize as speculative as factual is indicative of a stunted intellect. This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that you deny god with certainty while simultaneously implying that the existence of aliens is a sure thing. Perhaps you should take a moment to reexamine the validity of your assumptions. Unlike Matthew Im not a christian, but I suspect that your ill opinion of Christianity stems from its corruption by the inclusion of the evil poison of the old testament within it. Somehow the Tribe managed to smuggle their evil lying crap into a basicly good doctrine. dont you have anything that you actually believe in that you could be doing or commenting about .. since you are so smart .. is the best use of your time .. debunking Christianity .. which if it is fake is one of the best scams because two verses of scripture have more practical wisdom than you will ever EVER .. be able to claim as your own .. and its simple to run around .. telling people what you dont believe it .. its simple and stupid on a unprecedented level .. and its fascinating to watch you know it alls .. running around with your doubts trying to spread em around .. like a cult. Wow! Ive never seen a straw man argument about what a straw man argument is. Your every word proves your ignorance. Abraham didnt sacrifice any humans nor was he ever intended to. Explaining the truth of Scripture to you would be like explaining aerodynamics to a two year old. When whichever god changed Abrams name to abraham, he told him that he would be tha father of many nations. The real Israelites are the Western Europeans and America is the Mountains of Israel in Ezekiel and Zion and Armageddon. Soon the USA will be annihilated in WW3 and then Planet X will end the war when it comes around the sun. Half the Bible is about this one war. Please explain about what a strawman argument is and how I used one in other words put up or shut up you fool. So you admit you dont know what a Straw Man argument is. It is apparent that you dont because you continue that argumentative strategy despite the fact that you have been called out for it. You are fukin Sureal. And not in an interesting way. Go away, I dont want to play anymore. The evil liebox TV is the image of the beast in the Bible because it is used to lie to the whole world. It was invented purely for mind control purposes. It seems that the life of Jesus is identical to the life of Horus. All religions come from the gods on Planet X which the toxic chemtrails hide every day globally. They use religion, nationality, race, and even sports to keep the stupid sheeple divided.
