Well then. Tik Tok, and keep ticking to you too.

Yep for sure! EMO is a good one. VASA-1 (Microsoft) and Loopy Avatar (ByteDance) are two others from this year. And thanks!
seriously, kudos for having a publicly available demo (w/ no sign in!) you did what very very few ai founders dare do
Thank you! Just want many people to use it. And, it's super interesting to see what type of content people are making with it.

#303i wonder how long would it take for this technology to advance to a point where nice people from /r/freefolk would be able to remake seasons 7 and 8 of Game of Thrones to have a nice proper ending? 5 years, 10?
In a few years we'll have entire shows made exclusively by AI.
Where have you been? AI Seinfeld has been streaming on twitch since February of last year. https://www.theverge.com/23581186/ai-seinfeld-twitch-stream-...

#304Well, I don't know what to think about this, I don't know where we are going. I should read some scifi from back then about conversational agents maybe ? https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2... https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2... https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2...
Nice! These are really good. I wanted them to continue telling their story.
Through many births
I have wandered on and on,
Searching for, but never finding,
The builder of this house.
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
First and second pictures are profile pictures that were generated years ago, before openai went on stage. I keep them around for when I need profile pics for templates. The third one has been in my random pictures folder for years.

This is exactly what we do today! It seems to work better the more you extend it, but extending it too much introduces other side effects (e.g. the avatar will start to open its mouth, as if it were preparing to talk).
hmm weird, i thought you criticise heygen for doing exactly that (mirroring the input)
HeyGen (and our V1 model) literally uses the user on-boarding video in the final output. See here for a demonstration of this (https://toinfinityai.github.io/v2-launch-page/#comparisons). We are not talking about that in this thread. We are trying to solve a quirk of our Diffusion Transformer model (V2 model).
Our V2 model is trained on specific durations of audio (2s, 5s, 10s, etc) as input. So, if give the model a 7s audio clip during inference, it will generate lower quality videos than at 5s or 10s. So, instead, we buffer the audio to the nearest training bucket (10s in this case). We have tried buffering it with a zero array, white noise and just concatenating the input audio (inverted) to the end. The drawback is that the last frame (the one at 7s) has a higher likelihood to fail. We need to solve this.
And, no shade on HeyGen. It's literally what we did before. And their videos look hyper realistic, which is great for B2B content. The drawback is you are always constrained to the hand motions and environment of the on-boarding video, which is more limiting for entertainment content.

This is such a lame comment. It reflects very badly on you company.
Especially considering how many people are attempting something similar - for example everyone copied ChatGPT's UI. Will be funny/ironic when the first AI companies start suing each other for copyright infringement. Personally for me the "3 column" UI isn't that good anyway, I would have gone with an "MMO Character Creation" type UX for this.
Interesting! Are you saying you would first want tools to really design your character, and only after start making videos with the character you built? That's interesting.

#307Won't be long before it's real time. The first company to launch video calling with good AI avatars is going to take off.
Tavus.io already does this. They have realtime conversational replicas: with a < 1 second response time. Hyper realistic too.

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. ...

it’s hard to disagree with him with any empirical basis when all of his statements seem empirically sound and all of his opponent’s AI Doomer statements seem like evidenceless FUD I couldn’t help noticing that all the AI Doomer folks are pure materialists who think that consciousness and will can be completely encoded in cause-and-effect atomic relationships.

Re: Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
#310can this achieve real-time performance or how far are we from a real-time model?
Checkout Tavus.io for realtime. They have a great API for realtime conversational replicas. You can configure the CVI to do just about anything you want to do with a realtime streaming replica.
