I think this sort of thing will creep in.

For a start, when people think CGI they usually think 3D modelling, animation and rendering. This is a labor intensive process that is also limited by the technical ability of the human artists. AI-based techniques don't use human artists or 3D models, they use some sort of black-box technology where you merely give it examples of what you want then it works out how to achieve it.

A deepfake version of Moff Tarkin would have been very different than a 3D CGI Moff Tarkin, because the entire workflow for the two is completely different.

Right now deepfakes are mainly made by technical people who understand the technology but sooner or later they'll start to be packaged into commercial video editing suites, thus allowing the use of the technology to be part of the normal movie-making workflow.

The first place I'd expect to see deepfakes in a real Hollywood movie is to replace stunt actors with the actual main actor. No more need to occlude faces, avoid zooming in, or only show stuntmen from the back of the head. This would reduce costs and allow them to create more visually stunning set-piece stunts, so it will become accepted as part of the movie-making toolbox for that reason.

Heh, someone used deepfake to edit Harrison Ford into Star Wars: Solo instead of the real actor.

Link plz

cough Moff Tarkin cough

Though I think he may’ve been Grand Moff by that point... maybe him doing what he did in the movie was what propelled him to that point though.

The Death Star is what propelled him to that position, so the only movie where he's Grand Moff would be A New Hope.

Visited the university's cultural fair. Societies and clubs based around various cultural things (Martial arts, [country] societies, that sort of thing) basically coming together on the evening to do shit.

While I didn't take part in the Jitsu demonstration on account of being a novice, it was great to watch the others doing more advanced moves. It was also fun watching the other demonstrations.

A Dwarf Fortress stall would be fucking ace

The demonstration is just unplugging students from the matrix

I guess Ju Jitsu doesn't do that thing my fencing club does where we give random passers by swords and demand they fight us then, huh.

[Max™]

You damn well better have shouted "HAVE AT THEE" when doing so.

[Yoink]

Holy crap, this weather is so nice

[hops]

But you see it more as a friend?

YOU HAVE BEEN WAYLAID BY ENEMIES AND MUST DEFEND YOURSELF

Also, they were doing running leaps into rolls over the sensei, who was sitting in a chair.

Also yeah ours is decidedly more one-sided. We don't retaliate, our opponent just tries to hit us. We used to have a fencer good enough that we gave out prizes if you hit him.


Finally got my last project of this degree handed in, I think. Feels weird, man, but I guess it's good.

I'm currently starting the first project of my degree; an archival review.

Would it count if I pulled a gun and shot him?

What if I threw the foil and tackled him?
