This was really good. The Hassan version was “better.” It picked up the background behind me and commented about how cool my models looked on the wall, and mentioned how great they looked to spruce up my workshop. We had a conversation about how they were actually LEGO, and we went on to talk about how cool some of the sets were.

If you're interested in low-latency, multi-modal AI, Tavus is sponsoring a hackathon Oct 19th-20th in SF. (I'm helping to organize it.) There will also be a remote track for people who aren't in SF, so feel free to sign up wherever you are in the world. https://x.com/kwindla/status/1839767364981920246

Hey, I used to work for you a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Nice to hear from you.

Incredibly impressive on a technical level. The Carter avatar seems to swallow nervously a lot (LOL), and there's some weirdness with the mouth/teeth, but it's quite responsive. I've seen more lag on Zoom talking to people with bad wifi. Honestly this is the future of call centers. On the surface it might seem like the video/avatar is unnecessary, and that what really matters is the speech-to-speech loop. But once th…

>Honestly this is the future of call centers. This feels like retro futurism, where we take old ideas and apply a futuristic twist. It feels much more likely that call centers will cease to be relevant, before this tech is ever integrated into them.

Tell that to my mom

Is anyone else thinking that it might not be a good idea to give away your voice and face to a startup that is making digital clones of people?

They clearly explain how you retain ownership of your own data and they allow you to monetize the data for your own behalf where they get a sub fraction percent on top of if they sell or use your data internally or externally you get a set value or scalable metric corresponding to usage?

Right?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

like I said, I don't think this is relevant now. We don't know what sentience IS exactly, as we have a hard time defining it. We assume other people are sentient because of the ways they act. We make a judgment based on behavior, not some internal state we can measure. And if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... since we don't exactly know what the duck is in this case: maybe we should be asking these question…

Honestly they're just a bunch of data transformers plugged together to create the illusion of behaving like a human.
