New meme. Good for MGTOW/Manosphere places

Workin' full shifts at the Twitter mines I add SPUD to some of my tweets because I felt bad and self-centered just using Galatea, and I wanted to show that robowaifus aren't just a one man thing.

>>42735 <No robowaifu will steal your food TOPKEK POTD :DD

>>42735 Thanks, Choom. SPUD's development has pretty much stopped since exhibition season is over. I have a lot of large-scale, non-robowaifu (but still mostly robo) work that needs doing before I get snowed in. However, with a tweak or two I could probably get SPUD ready to livestream. Eg not run the GUI, fix the tts parsing and implement the Optical AI to be active during every verbal prompt. Then SPUD would be the worlds first (real) android v-tuber... android tuber... A-Tuber... SPUD is A-Tuber... damn, this was meant to be... New Year's Resolution I guess...

>>42761 Good luck with your resolution, Mechnomancer! Cheers. :^)

>>42546 Why not just order one directly from the link I left you before, Ribose? (cf. >>42130 ) Call and talk to them, and they may be able to arrange for something special for you also.

>>42554 I'll give it a shot. Figured I'd ask here too as I'm willing to pay and I would prefer to give robowaifu technicians my money.

>>42555 I appreciate that sentiment! I plan to scout around for some while I'm in the mountains in a few months. They're yours no-charge if I find some. Good luck, Anon! Cheers. :^)

This isn't the home I will be buying, but look at the space you can get for 75k. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/569-W-21st-Ave-Gary-IN-46407/73412792_zpid/ Yes it is Gary. Yes it needs repairs, but with multiple people this could be defended and goods could be built here. Networks could be built here.

>>42753 Sounds encouraging, Anon. Good luck! Cheers. :^)

>>42747 Well our typical 3D morphtargets for hero digital double work ran around 120 different models (many were 50/50 splits, mirrored L & R). * I don't know if you consider that a smol number of, but I can tell you it takes weeks for a smol professional team to sculpt & tweak them all during pre-production for a single hi-fi 3D mesh! :^) --- * And this is just for facial -- not including anything from the lower neck down at all!

>>42748 I assume those are actual faces, right? For a Murder Drones/LAV/Astrobot/Kerfus/Galatea style face, you probably don't 120 or a professional team.

>>42749 >I assume those are actual faces, right? Yes. Big actors would go into a scan volume and have high-fidelity (hi-fi) mesh captures made of their faces. We'd take those and meticulously redo them as animatable (ie, well-formed) 3D quad meshes; then use those to do the actual "acting" (ie, 3D animations, typically using the sculpted morphtargets as mentioned). In many cases this "acting" is driven by real acting done in MOCAP volumes, then applied (or retargeted) onto the hero facial mesh. A control rig of some sort also drives the underlying mesh so that directoral/artistic control is available during production. Usually a lo('r)-fi, "blocking" mesh is used during production animation, then rendered with hi-fi for sampling and during post (-production/final). The same processes mostly apply for the rest of the body, but usually without nearly the attention to detail that facial demands. >For a Murder Drones/LAV/Astrobot/Kerfus/Galatea style face, you probably don't 120 or a professional team. No ofc not. For screen faces, such lo-fi work is fine. But for realworld, IRL robowaifus? Heh, let's just say "...it's complicated." :^)

>>42746 >As far as "real time" goes, remember this is a big-budget film: every.single.frame. is carefully-crafted by teams. In this case the work of professional animators during pre-production/production phases. So the >tl;dr in the specific case of M3gan 2, this is not realtime. I assumed as much for the movie, but I was talking about the actual toy, which surprisingly, seems to have about as much facial expression range. >>42747 >There's only a select amount of reasonable expressions you can make, I think a library is enough. When I think of animating facial expressions my mind goes to the Source engine's Faceposer, where the face mesh flexes to create as many facial expressions as any real face could make, but something like that would probably need to be simplified to run on a toy. The only other thing I think of is early 3D game graphics where there's textures for an eye and half of the mouth, and the most appropriate expression is picked by making the right combination of textures. But the Moxie face seemed better than that.

>>42751 >but I was talking about the actual toy, which surprisingly, seems to have about as much facial expression range. Ahh, understood. Yes (just like with a movie) you'd create a "library" of expressions (as I and @GreerTech indicated), then using some form of scripting (in the case of the toy), morph between them. We'd have to have the original programming from inside it to know precisely how it was done in that specific case, but this model is the general approach. As you suggested, the Moxie expressions are likely "baked out" beforehand into individual images and morphed between them with scripting (as with @Mechnomancer's & @GreerTech's approaches). Typical 2D stuff; and very low-cost, computationally. Great questions, Anon. Sounds like you're already well on your way... why not dive into the animatronics/programming aspects of IRL robowaifu faces (similar to @Mechnomancer's newer approaches)? :^)

>>42421 Agreed.

Umamusume has a mind upload robowaifu, Sugar Lights, and her robot avatar ST-2. Kinda strange for a somewhat grounded universe. https://youtube.com/shorts/x2eEbBN61rk https://umamusu.wiki/Sugar_Lights https://umamusu.wiki/ST-2

>>42677 Young earth creationists are going have to explain circular DNA of plastids and the mitochondia as well as human chromosome 2. These are the strongest points for evolution, but I don't think evolution is incompatible with Christianity.

>>42699 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis

>>42699 True, great point Riboss. BTW, there are hundreds of other systemic issues with their hottake. BTW, none of the organizations I've linked to are YEC -adherents. I'm not attempting to speak for anyone else here but just myself alone: I personally consider the YEC claims to be extraordinarily-harmful ones concerning the endeavor of Christian Evangelism. There is literally no evangelistic value in their positions. At all. While God won't lose any of His own in the end (preaching the Gospel even after death for those who would believe) [1], this has ravaged countless millions from living a full life in Christ, simply through (reasonable, IMO) offense at YEC's adamant (and non-biblical) take on the age of the universe. B/c (((reasons))), they have managed to spread this mindvirus far-and-wide in the West today...posturing themselves in the media as the """one-and-only-Christian-worldview""". Thankfully its actually a rather new concept (~150yrs now), and hasn't plagued most of human history. Only subsequent to Darwin's "On the Origin of Species..." has it come into being (and directly in an attempted-response to it). I love them as fellow Christians, but I strongly-oppose their position on this set of topics. As @GreerTech implicated before (though on other terms): "To deny physical evidence is fallacy" (cf. >>42651 ). They are attempting to claim that God's second "book" [2] has no authenticity or merit at all compared to biblical scripture (yet spend vast amounts of their considerable resources examining said 2nd book in an attempt to "hogtie" it with their presuppositions, lol). This is actually a very deep fallacy IMO. It simultaneously impugns both God's handiworks, as well as His moral character... as if He could contradict Himself in any way (ie, lie or be deceptive). This position is patently impossible, biblically-speaking. (It also rages against simple common sense.) --- >but I don't think evolution is incompatible with Christianity. Its not per se. Microevolution of smol organisms (ant-sized or smol'r -- but especially the microbes) is directly-observable under controlled conditions. And that fact isn't at odds with any biblical precepts, either. But so-called neo-Darwinian "Macroevolution" isn't in fact real at all. God directly-created all advanced life species. He is also the sole, one-and-only Originator of all life forms (and indeed the entirety of the universe) [3]. >tl;dr True, but neither is it necessary.

>>42702 Another point towards neo-lamarckianism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hologenome_theory_of_evolution

>>42706 Intredasting. While I'm not convinced, I'm also aware of so-called microchimerism, so I don't consider the idea so far-fetched as to be out of the realm of possibility. As to the basic idea of host/parasite symbiosis, that's well-proven. My favorite example to share with laymen out in the field are trees -- especially the really big ones: they are a vast collection of biomes & sub-biomes within their innate structures (often comprised of hundreds and thousands of different [and differing] species). They are practically an """economy""" of bio-riches "changing hands" moment-to-moment within/upon them! :^)

>>39414 Done.

>>39397 ok text is now a bigga

>>39429 Done.

>>42709 Done.

>>42667 >>42670 Simply put, we need to popularize local SLMs/LLMs. Too many people see AI as either a god, or a demon if you're a leftoid artist. This is no doubt the result of ((((marketing)))), but it's also just unfamiliarity with the technology and the power of the Turing Test. Personally, I see online AIs as a wise professor. He is very knowledgeable, but he is not my friend, nor is he infallible. And I don't use ChatGPT for anything other than image generation.

>>42673 >Personally, I see online AIs as a wise professor. He is very knowledgeable, but he is not my friend, nor is he infallible. That's a pretty good way of putting things, Anon.

>>42673 Wrangling with various AIs, I look at 'em more like fully automated space luxury autism :)

>>42683 ChatGPT is an HR employee that's really good at art Grok is autistic Claude is a neurotic mental patient Copilot is Microsoft Tech Support saar DeepSeek is the pic of chad Xi Jinping Gemini is a retarded DEI employee (glue pizza is part of they's culture, you bigotcel!!!)

>>41396 My analysis of the Tsukumogami, and Chobistu's anecdote >>40641 >>40642

Qualcomm has been keeping up a very brisk pace for over a year now on their "Intelligent Robotics" SDK releases. https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-260/robotics-sdk-july-2025.html --- One of the biggest PITA with so-called """ROS""", is the horrendous dependency hell involved with setting it up from scratch (along with it being incredibly finicky thereafter to bringing in new libs as well). Qualcomm apparently pulls some of ROS's core packages into their own SDK binaries, so the potential is there at least to eliminate this whole issue outright. If so, then that alone makes this Qualcomm system interesting IMO. Add in the likely support for the upcoming Arduino UNO Q board (cf. >>42176, et al), and this seems like a strong contender for our research here.
