Jeremy Scahill - The Drone President & Obama's Whitewashing of NSA Spying

Published on Jan 29, 2014

In his State of the Union address, President Obama called on the United States to "move off a permanent war footing," citing his recent limits on the use of drones, his withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and his effort to close the military prison at Guant?namo Bay. Obama also vowed to reform National Security Agency surveillance programs to ensure that "the privacy of ordinary people is not being violated." Jeremy Scahill, whose Oscar-nominated film "Dirty Wars" tackles the U.S. drone war and targeted killings abroad, says Obama has been a "drone president" whose operations have killed large numbers of civilians. On NSA reform, Scahill says "the parameters of the debate in Washington are: Should we figure out a way to streamline this and sell it to the American people, or should we do more surveillance?"

Obama and the 'Iron Man' TALOS Tactical Armor

Published on Mar 1, 2014

President Obama made an admittedly pretty funny announcement, that the Pentagon has created...Iron Man. Not really though, TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit) doesn't have all the flying, nor many of the combat power of Tony Stark's suit, it is fire-retardant, capable of repelling ammo when applying an electric current, a hud with graphics relevant to battle, integrated communications, and body and external sensors. It's interesting that he called the suit "Iron Man" aside from the battle capabilities it has, given the history of the comic character. Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Andrew Fogel discuss.

Why Obama's plan for people on Mars is so important

Published on Oct 14, 2016

President Obama wants NASA and companies like SpaceX to get humans on Mars and back home, within our lifetimes. Kim Horcher and Brett Erlich (PopTrigger) break it down.

"One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandfather's shoulders, waving a flag as our astronauts returned to Hawaii. This was years before we'd set foot on the moon. Decades before we'd land a rover on Mars. A generation before photos from the International Space Station would show up in our social media feeds."

Given audio of President Barack Obama, we synthesize a high quality video of him speaking with accurate lip sync, composited into a target video clip. Trained on many hours of his weekly address footage, a recurrent neural network learns the mapping from raw audio features to mouth shapes. Given the mouth shape at each time instant, we synthesize high quality mouth texture, and composite it with proper 3D pose matching to change what he appears to be saying in a target video to match the input audio track
