I really hope this technology becomes the future of political campaigning. The signage industry which prints billions of posters, plastic lawn signs, and banners for the post-election landfill needs to be disrupted. These days I get a daily dose of amazement at what a small engineering team is able to accomplish.

Thanks for these thoughts and compliments. I love the idea of preventing landfill with this tech. Our team is awesome and we really love our customers and all the jobs that can be done with this kind of tech!

Oh my! How dystopian. “He promised me they wouldn’t support X” “He promised me they would support X” (Dynamically grab and show actions from the candidates past that feed into the individuals viewpoint) Further the disconnect between what the candidate says they do and what they do, meanwhile it will feel like they got your best interests in mind.

Heh, I'm not even sure that would change much honestly. If I define a "lie" for the purpose of this post (and nothing else) as "a politician's claim they support a position during election season that they have manifestly not supported during their existing tenure as a politician", even cynical ol' me is a bit shocked by the amount of lying I've seen in this campaign. I'm not even talking about forward lying here about something they won't do for whatever reason once they get into office, I'm talking about their platform incorporating things that they were denouncing a year ago and vigorously voting against.

Feedback: if I hadn't seen this posted here, I'd assume this website is malicious. Asking me for my email, microphone, and camera before you've even showed me anything is a deal breaker 100% of the time.

You have to show the product first, or I don't actually know whether you actually have a product or are just phishing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's mostly there today [0][1]. [0] https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/08/new-a... [1] https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam

I didn't mean the video impersonation, I was referring to the possibility of making a synthetic bot automatically attend a conference call like a regular user without using a desktop camera simulation or stuff like that. It's not a matter of AI, it's a matter of how Teams or Meet or Zoom allow programmatic access to the video and audio streams (the presence APIs for attending a meeting are mostly there, I think).

You could hack this together now with OBS and Tavus.

So at what point to we consider the morality of 'owning' such an entity/construct (should it prove itself sufficiently sentient...)? to extend this (to a hypothetical future situation): what morality does a company have of 'owning' a digitally uploaded brain? I worry about far future events... but since American law is based on precedence: we should be careful now how we define/categorize things. To be clear - I don'…

You're over-anthropomorphizing. The ability of a thing to appear human says nothing of sentience.

This is extremely cool.

The responses for me at least were in the few second range.

It responded to my initial question fast enough but as soon as I asked a follow up it thought/kind of glitched for a few seconds before it started speaking.

I tried a few different times on a few different topics and it happened each time.
