Cool data-driven social media video: repurposing best content
We repurposed some of our most popular social media content into cool videos, 3D printed objects, and virtual items. To demonstrate repurposing content in a data-driven way, we created the “Best of Acculation IG: Data-driven social media” video shown in this post. Basically, we took our most liked photo posts on Instagram, and turned them into a short video which we uploaded to YouTube (also below). [Update May 2018: Our services to provide data-driven, AI & algorithmically generated content as shown here have gotten a lot of press recently (click here for recent press details). If you are interested in pricing or learning more about how we may be able to help your organization with data-driven, automatically created social media content, please contact us to learn more (click here).] Cool video of AI algo-generated multiplatform social content that got press … aka transmedia aka crossmedia aka multi-media … when will they decide on a name?… Read the restWoolly Mammoths in (interstellar) Spaaaaace…. (or preventing mass-extinction with tech)
A recent study shows that about 60% of the world’s wildlife has been destroyed since 1970 (CNN article), and humans are almost certainly to blame. There have only been five previous mass extinctions in the 4 billion year history of Earth, and humans have now started the sixth. What can be done? Environmentalists will usually suggest increased conservation (or reduced pollution, or perhaps writing a letter to your political representative). We’re going to need de-extinction, genetic preservation, and bioprinting technologies. We’ll need these exponential technologies not only to counter this present mass-extinction, but also to help us go to the stars and become an interplanetary and interstellar species, as we’ll explain. Incidentally, all of this genetic data will be great opportunities for bioinformatics and data science. Unfortunately, conservation, education/persuasion, and political letter-writing approaches to halting our ongoing existential mass-extinction threat are all likely to be equally futile. This is because it is very difficult to control and coordinate the activity of billions of humans (many of whom are in denial about the gravity of the situation, or, in some cases, even encouraged to disbelieve the statistics by well-funded special interests).… Read the restGlitch art encore of NASA igloo mars house
So, you guessed it, we glitched our earlier photo of the 3D-printed martial igloo ice house (here) that won NASA’s 3D-printing Martian habitat contest. As previously discussed here, ice could help make 3D-printers to almost be self-replicating on Mars (photo overload here), making it a potentially important manufacturing material on that planet. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version. Instagram likes: (more…)… Read the restPhoto: 3-D printed ice igloo wins 3D printed habitat contest
Ice as 3D-printing material NASA recently picked this 3-D printed igloo as winner of their 3D printed habitat contest. We previously discussed (in our earlier blog article here) how 3D printing and 3D printers would be very important in Mars exploration (see our earlier Mars photo overload post here). A 3D printer is a miniature factory, and potentially a self-replicating one at that (provided you can find the raw materials). So you can send one 3D printer over and bootstrap the entire Martian manufacturing complex. Ice is present on Mars, and in most places the temperatures are cold enough to remain in the ice phase permanently, so it makes sense as a 3D printed material. Unfortunately, 3D-printers aren’t quite self-replicating yet, although they are getting close. So, in practice, you’d still need to send over a few parts, particularly some electronics components. Nevertheless, it seems quite possible that ice could be used as a raw 3d-printing manufacturing material on Mars, at least in the early days as infrastructure was being built up.… Read the restRecent Posts
