China Is What Orwell Feared

Xi Jinping is using artificial intelligence to enhance his government’s totalitarian control—and he’s exporting this technology to regimes around the globe.

RT @anorangeduck: Happy to announce our new SIGGRAPH paper this year - Learned Motion Matching. We use Machine Learning to vastly reduce the memory usage of Motion Matching - allowing it to scale to huge databases of animation.

Introducing Learned Motion Matching

Here is our result with this inertialization blending applied: And that’s it – by choosing different kinds of features to match we can build animation systems that achieve different kinds of tasks, such as interaction with props, navigation over rough terrain, or even reactions to other ...
