All I can think of is just what have Eve and Vision been up to in their spare time?

this rocking lead singer is a 3d hologram
complete with concert video?
a web cartoonists take on it 10 years ago

Hey, Star Ranger, have you seen the TRIPSHOTS video? Look that one up on the 'tubes. I've been trying to find an HD avi of that music video for a few weeks, to no avail. You know....

While I'm thinking about it>> http://www.tripshots.net/ goto "specialstuffs" and then to "Sound Datas" for mp3 RARs. I think this vocaloid thing is a step in the right direction...If, like me, you desperately want to live in a chrome world! xD

Only in Japan. Japan throws out more weird crap in a day than the rest of the world comes up with in a year.

>this >rocking lead singer is a 3d hologram>

If you have a couple of hours to burn (and don't mind having little idea what people are singing about), the whole concert is worth while. You can find it streaming on a few sites searching for "Hatsune Miku 39's Giving Day concert".

What I've found most interesting as I've been digging down the Vocaloid rabbit hole in the internet is how much I enjoy the "live" tracks more than the "studio" tracks.

Mind you, she'll only be performing for the other computers at that point, since humanity will have been eradicated in the first week.

I dunno--a human is one of the most flexible peripheral devices a computer could own.

Too frail and flaky for any sort of production use. Be like the original configuration of the Nintendo Entertainment System, with that "soft dock" cartridge slot that never, ever worked properly.

Yeah, but the legacy drivers are a real bitch....

If we get a sufficiently advanced AI, I feel confident that it can and will design something similar and more cost-effective, without the century-minus planned obsolescence point.

I, for one, look forward to serving our new mechanized overlords.
