We’ve seen how impressive Nvidia’s new Titan GPU can be, but this is kind of nuts. Face rendering that is pretty darn close to briding the uncanny valley. It’s remarkable. Also this is obviously going to be used for porn.
Everything is used for porn. This especially should be put right to use. Nvidia imagines a world where every important person is scanned into this program, like Abe Lincoln. Sure, let’s scan the boring old guy from whatever daguerreotypes remain of his head.
Or, we could scan, like, Will Smith for Men in Black 8, or every porn star on the planet and plug a Titan into an Oculus Rift. Also, this will clearly lead to hugely offensive political parodies for blogs to be horrified at. Everyone wins! [Metafilter]
