Instagram Roulette Effect

Erika Stilwell has no idea how she contracted COVID-19

Question on audio analysers: Looking to have the generated effect sync with real world sounds instead of an attached audio file. Was wondering if anyone could point me at the right direction! I've attached a video for reference (ref effect by @vi.de.or.bit). Augmented reality (AR) filters are computer-generated effects layered over the real-life image your camera displays. In Instagram Stories, an AR filter alters the image your front or back camera displays. Think of Instagram's face filters. For example, the puppy filter superimposes a dog's ears and nose over top of your image.

A Dallas mother is warning North Texans about COVID-19 as she continues to deal with the lingering effects of the virus months after becoming infected.

Here's what I think will happen for every roulette segment: Fire - The room explodes. Water - She drowns. Grass - Bamboo Torture (yes it exists) Electric - Electric Chair. Poison - The respirator starts producing neurotoxins. Steel - Buzzsaw. Bug - Beedrill impales her or Scyther beheads her. Ice - She gets frozen or impaled by an icicle. Create Instagram Stories Effects Tip #1: Think About Your Audience The first step to creating an Instagram Stories filter or effect is to consider your target audience and how they'll use your filter. Most filters are made for selfies, but some have special effects or graphics that are better suited to a landscape or city shots. Taking a page from the enchanted book attraction at the Sorcerer's Workshop of Disney California Adventure, content creator Arno Partissimo published an Instagram AR camera effect called 'Which Disney' that spins a virtual roulette wheel to match users with their true Disney spirit animal or human.

Erika Stilwell, a 47-year-old mother of three with no underlying health conditions, contracted COVID-19 in late July and told NBC 5 that after being sick for two weeks and struggling to breathe she ended up being hospitalized for three days.

'I don't remember a lot of it,' she said, but added her husband told her stories of the shared look of fear on their faces. 'He wasn't able to come in with me when they took me in. I do remember that -- [I was] just really afraid. I may not come back out. We've got three children, so it was a pretty scary time.'

Months later, Stilwell said she is still dealing with the effects of the virus to this day.

'I now have COPD and sleep apnea. I've had to do several sleep studies,' she said. 'I'm on tons of medications. Basically, my lungs just have not healed at all. And no energy. You name it, it's going on.'

She said she hopes her story would encourage more people to take the virus seriously.

'I really don't think it's like the flu, and I get really frustrated when I hear people say that because it may be like the flu for someone, but you don't know what it's going to do long term,' she said.

Roulette

Stilwell said COVID-19 has changed her life and she's not the same mom she used to be.

'I almost have to pick and choose what I do each day because things wear me out so much. Just making the bed, I can't. It takes my breath away,' she said. 'It's been tough.'

For Stilwell and her family, Thanksgiving will look different. Her hope is that no one has to go through what she has gone through.

'You're playing Russian roulette. You just don't know,' she said. 'It's a hard decision for anybody whether or not to see your family, but then I think a way of showing them love, too, is to stay away.'

COVID-19 Resources

Experts advise only spending time this holiday season with those in your immediate household. If you do plan to spend time with family members outside of your immediate household, people were advised to begin quarantining themselves two weeks prior to Thanksgiving.

Other recommendations remain in place, such as wearing masks, maintaining physical distancing and avoiding prolonged exposure to other people.

If you're considering a large gathering on Thanksgiving, consider having the meal outside. The Thanksgiving forecast from NBC 5's team of Weather Experts calls for a mostly sunny day with no precipitation and a high of 72 degrees.

Selfies are being ripped apart by an AI-driven web experiment that uses a huge image database to classify pictures of people.

From 'timid defenceless simpleton' to 'insignificant student', the online project ImageNet Roulette has handed out brutal assessments to an increasingly long list of users keen to experiment.

The web page launched as part of Training Humans, a photography exhibition conceived by Professor Kate Crawford and artist Trevor Paglen.

The gallery contains several collections of pictures used by scientists to train AI in how to 'see and categorise the world', and ImageNet Roulette is based on this research.

The tech has been trained using the existing ImageNet database and is designed to be a 'peek into the politics of classifying humans in machine learning systems and the data they are trained on'.

It has since gone viral on social media, with huge numbers of users ignoring a warning that the AI 'regularly classifies people in dubious and cruel ways'.

While some have been left flattered by being assigned descriptors like 'enchantress', others have been told they fall into categories like 'offender' and 'rape suspect'.

In a bid to explain why people might receive unflattering designations, a post on the site says they are all based on existing data already assigned to pictures in the ImageNet database.

The original database was developed in 2009 by scientists at Princeton and Stanford universities in the US, and has since assigned more than 20,000 categories across millions of images.

ImageNet Roulette is 'meant in part to demonstrate how various kinds of politics propagate through technical systems, often without the creators of those systems even being aware of them'.

The page also states that it 'does not store the photos people upload or any other data' - reassuring those who may have been put off by privacy concerns surrounding other recent picture-driven internet phenomena.

Earlier this year, hundreds of thousands of people began to share their photos from FaceApp, which alters selfies to make them look older, younger, or to change their gender or hair style.

Some users expressed fears over its terms and conditions allowing the app to collect data from phones, and a claim that its parent company was based in Russia and had received funds from the Russian government.
