Is it true that an actual statue was changed to be made in Vader’s image?

That’s what the CNN article I swiped it from said. Fun with old Communist icons. 😉

Where are these captioned pics coming from?

Youtube. You should see the automatically generated captions on your ROTR clips!

How is it selecting the words for the auto-generation? That’s really weird.

The algorithm more or less “listens” (there are a lot of different ways to do this, but it works similarly to how Cortana or Siri work) to the file and then matches what it “hears” to the sound of words it knows.

It seems to swing towards political and news stuff, so those are probably things it hears a lot so it favors those.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

It even translated the alien language in one of Frink’s clips. 😉

Off topic, but how on Earth this kind of algorithm helps anyone? If you were deaf you’d be better off just guessing by yourself. It’s just a ridicilous thought that someone has actully published the entire system and been serious.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

It might not help anyone directly, though it can be used as training for future development.

Yeah it’s likely more of a testbed for improving that technology rather than a serious thing.

I think most of us are firmly in the ‘Original Trilogy purists’ camp.

I just like Star Wars…

Also the picture in question was definitely made pre TFA. It would be nice if the maker updated it for both people who like and dislike TFA and the idea of the ST in general.

It’s a three-way mix between Column A, Column A1, and Column B for me.
