Slashdot Mirror
First All-Artificial Feature Film Released
Hugh "Nomad" Hancock writes "Machinima.com have just released the DVD version of Killer Robot, award-winning filmmaker Peter Rasmussen's buddy movie about two mining robots who set out to protect their "meat-sack" masters from a master mining robot gone insane. The twist here is not only that it's Machinima, made in 3D Game Studio, but that even the actor's voices are computer-generated using programs like Festival, making this possibly the world's first all-artificial movie."
Nothing real in that .. both genres are done purely by silicon.
So, celebrity actors are on the way out? RIAA, Save us!
What those who want activist courts fear is rule by the people.
Is this the one with Will Smith, and is Will Smith computer generated? If so, that's a great achievement! I hope that the sound is better than the national weather service's Mac plus (i'm assuming) that reads those weather alerts on channel 26.

Actually, the first all-artificial movie was Gigli I believe. :)
For your security, this post has been encrypted with ROT-13, twice.
I dunno, looks more like a puma jumping contest to me.
If the reviews aren't there, then the novelty aspect won't get my ticket dollars; they might need to make a virtual audience, too.
The CB App. What's your 20?
The first all-artificial movie will be made by an AI that has no access to any outside materials.
...which, come to think of it, isn't all that different from what happens in Hollywood now anyway.
And it will suck. "An AI [with] no access to any outside materials" will by definition also have no reference as to what makes a good movie or not, and thus will probably wind up making a movie that only it thinks is good.
"Why Subscribe?" Good question...
I set it to robot guard mode when I go to bed. God help any intruder it encounters its frightening suction power, unless of course the intruder is a pervert and enjoys that sort of thing.
Anyway it was just telling me it cant wait to see this movie, apparently one of the actors is a real hell raiser, sort of the Colin Farrell of the robot entertainment industry and the other one is quite cute (purely from an engineering perspective so it tells me).
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Which presumably would mean only robots would go see the movie. :)
:)
Also, these robots created by other robots... would the other robots also have to have been created by robots, created by robots, created by robots, created by robots... (ad infinitum)?
Oh shit, my head asplode.

As luck would have it, there's already series of all-artificial awards they can earn.
Operator, give me the number for 911!
Excellent. With actors now obsolete, Natalie Portman will be desperate for cash. I shall make her my crack whore.
I am waiting till AI's write the script and decide stuffs.
Truly a sophisticated insight.
Dear Valued Movie Executive,
You have been replaced by a very small shell script. Good day.
Sincerely,
C. Ron Tab
I think after that, we can now safely say we'll never get to see an all-artificial move.
And here I was getting all excited. Thanks for spoiling it!

After that it's pretty much turtles all the way down.
Degaussing scares the bad magnetism out of the monitor and fills it with good karma.
I see.
So...
San Jose = Silicon Valley.
Hollywood = Silicone Valley.

Judging by the amount of times "people" have posted "it isn't all-artificial until AI writes the screenplay", I'm wondering whether the slashdot comments system may consist of all artifical postings.
I swear the whole comments system here could be replaced by a small shell script. A cron job that posts "Microsoft sucks" and "BSD is dying" would take care of a good chunk of the system right there. What else am I missing?
And why am I talking to a small shell script?
I think you left out the part where Jessica and Roger pull off their masks to reveal that they are actually each other and you are banging Roger, and you still like it.
Alas It is not all computer, nor 100% digital. Only when the machine conceives, writes, directs, plans, and develops the movie from concept to finished product will it truly be a fully computer generated movie. Even then a human had programmed the machine. Perhaps we'll have to wait till a machine makes a machine and the subsequent machine creates a movie....
