I welcome competition, but they have made disingenuous claims about being first after having chatted with our team (in person), are using celebrity deepfakes for their advertising, and have 1-1 copied our UI down to the three panel mobile layout and autocrop button.

To be fair your UI looks much better and the layout of both these sites is so basic (not a bad thing), it should be the last thing to worry about. Better product will win so focus on that, because except for ones ego, no one else cares who's "first".

What if you train it to hold the last frame on silence (or quiet noise)?

We've talked about doing something like that. Feels like it should work in theory.

Or noise corresponding with a closed mouth

Hmmmmmmmm

Ohmmmmmmm

There is prior art here, e.g. Emo from alibaba research ( https://humanaigc.github.io/emote-portrait-alive/ ), but this is impressive and also actually has a demo people can try, so that's awesome and great work!

Yep for sure! EMO is a good one. VASA-1 (Microsoft) and Loopy Avatar (ByteDance) are two others from this year. And thanks!

Given that I don't agree with many of Yann LeCun's stances on AI, I enjoyed making this:

Hello I'm an AI-generated version of Yann LeCoon. As an unbiased expert, I'm not worried about AI. ... If somehow an AI gets out of control ... it will be my good AI against your bad AI. ... After all, what does history show us about technology-fueled conflicts among petty, self-interested humans?

Any details yet on pricing or too early?

It's free right now, and we'll try to keep it that way as long as possible

What about open weights?

If not now, would you consider to do that with older versions of the model as you make better ones?

How convenient that new user ‘jenintogen’ replied to new user ‘genaiguy’’s mentioning Hedra by asking for a link, giving you an opportunity to organically reply with the URL of your service. Looks like there’s an enthusiastic marketplace of real grassroots users.

This is amazing and another moment where I question what the future of humans will look like. So much potential for good and evil! It's insane.

And it seems that absolutely no one involved is concerned with the potential uses for evil, so long as they're in line to make a couple dollars.

You've expressed this concern, and your comment has been upvoted. The brigade of newly registered users echoing these talking points on this topic is not necessary and undermines your point.
