I’ve been thinking that the next realm for movie studios is to use the random AI face generated people, that look real, but don’t exist.
These faces can be planted on other fake AI bodies, that move like real people.
Then, what you have is a background full of fake AI people. They look like real people. They move like real people. No more need to hire extras.
You can just have your primary actors act in a green screen. And virtually change the world all around them.
The first company that can commercialize this, is going to make a ton of money. And might even be able to gain first-mover advantage, as they lock in all the studios.
It sounds like they are using just a basic Linear Regression to forecast growth.
And to the uninitiated, this sounds like a very fancy word, that makes the software seem smart.
But really, it’s just drawing a straight line. And as you add more counts to your x axis, the Linear Regression “forecasts” what the value is on the y axis. This is the magical number, given by the computer, and is used to determine future load or capacity needs.
This reminds me of that old story about the Xerox copy machines that the Soviet Union bought.
Where each unit was planted with a image recorder. And for years, the American spy agencies had a great laugh, that they were able to intercept all the documents that the Russians made a copy of.
Back then, this was an off-network infiltration. Where the copied images, were retrieved during regular servicing intervals by a Xerox technician.
Doesn't the printed circuit board also need to be redesigned, to allow for the spy chip to be inserted?
So, this means that China forced multiple companies to modify their processes, in order to pull this off.
1. The PCB designer
2. The PCB printer, if it's a separate company
3. The company assembling the final product
And if they forced the PCB to be redesigned, then wouldn't this be a immediate red flag? But this means that the customer, Supermicro, would have to audit the PCB results as well.
That the Chinese military is technically competent enough to pull off such a thing.
Or that they are incompetent enough, to not secure their own back doors and networks, and allowed the FBI, NSA, and other American government organizations, the ability to counter-hack them, and monitor all their internal communications.
The truth is somewhere in between.
So, this article is basically saying: China got clever, and spied on us. We spied back on them, and we also hacked all of their internal communications too, so basically, we own them.
Well, at least America is finally admitting, that they too, actively spy on other countries. And can easily infiltrate any other country that they want.
They say that SQLite is more in competition with fopen, for file open, rather than a true RDMS system.
