- tech-historian 6y agoYour pricing plans: https://myvoiceyourface.com/pay/ https://myvoiceyourface.com/pay/ $20/mo for 20 videos. While the technical output you've achieved is notable, just curious, who is your target audience? How do you see these videos being used?
- quantummkv 6y agoI am sure politicians and campaign managers or every sort and ideology would very willingly pay for this. Then there also the Rule 34 aficionados around and they don't mind spending cash at all. Then you also have trolls, "news channels", conspiracy theorists, youtube comedian personalities to name a few more. The market definitely exists.
- tiborsaas 6y agoIf the results were 4 to 5 orders of magnitude better, maybe it could fool somebody :)
- quantummkv 6y agoThe results can be improved with time. But the market opportunity will still be there.
- realusername 6y agoI don't think that very low quality would fool anybody or could be used in a commercial setting. I can only see it being used for memes or jokes.
- hunter-2 6y agoOne of the sample videos has a baby wishing someone on their birthday. I am not sure if I would pay $20 for this, but would really like to do something like this for my wife's birthday.
- ARandomerDude 6y agoJust because you can build it doesn't mean you should.
- jedberg 6y agoWhen I hear “deepfake” I usually think both video and audio being fake. This is cool but I’m not sure what the use case is of my friend having my voice.
- quickthrower2 6y agoI guess mostly for fun. The baby video example on that page was pretty funny. Although if I see 10 of them it might get a bit less funny.
- tkgally 6y agoI just tried it for fun, and it was fun. I uploaded a photograph of my six-month-old grandson and then I videoed myself saying something profound in a deep serious-adult voice. The resulting video is, I humbly believe, very cute. I'll share it only with family, though.
- forgingahead 6y agoThis just looks like a simple web app wrapper around First Order Model: https://github.com/AliaksandrSiarohin/first-order-model https://github.com/AliaksandrSiarohin/first-order-model The license for the code specifically states "Non-Commercial". Is your code something else? Also seems like you've double posted it. Edit: Your other posts also have a similar look - are you testing the waters for a viable biz model by adding web-app wrappers around ML papers who have published their code on Github? Not being accusatory or anything, just trying to understand.
- abiogenesis 6y agoI am not the OP nor a lawyer, but I believe one can charge for the service provided (the code is running on OPs servers). This should still not violate Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license.
- mikekchar 6y agoFrom this page: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpretation https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpre... they explain that the NonCommercial part is triggered on use. I believe that the intent is that you can not use the work for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. So if you write a play using CC-NC, it would be against the license to perform that play for money. Similarly, if you have software under CC-NC, it is against the license to use it for the purpose of making money. The problem with NC (IMHO) is that it's too loose. Everything is up to interpretation. It's clear that you don't have a license to use the software, except the CC-NC license, but I think you probably would have to go to court to really determine if the usage was "commercial" or not. For this reason, I won't touch CC-NC works with a 10 foot pole. If you get sued, you are almost certain to go to court. There is probably a good chance that an injunction will be granted while they decide whether or not the usage is "commercial". By the time it's all over, you would have been much better off not using the code. For me, this means that using CC-NC code is pretty much a gamble on whether or not someone will attempt to sue me -- which is pretty darn close to just forgetting about licenses and hoping I don't get sued for infringement.

- numlock86 6y agoLooking at the recent videos, albeit not knowing the original videos used as source, I'd assume this needs a lot of work still to be of any practical use, even if you just aim at making funny memes with this. Also some manual filtering would probably be very appropriate, as there were some including racial slurs and NSFW audio and visuals.
- cheschire 6y agoImmediately turned off by the first demo being someone yelling angrily.
- phatbyte 6y agoWhat are you doing with the data collected? I don't see anywhere a privacy policy, gdpr or anything
- sleepychu 6y agoWorth noting that there is a recent videos at the bottom of the page. Be careful what you upload!

- bko 6y agoIf anyone wants to play around with this in a hosted gpu supported jupyter notebook, check out: https://colab.research.google.com/github/AliaksandrSiarohin/first-order-model/blob/master/demo.ipynb https://colab.research.google.com/github/AliaksandrSiarohin/... I think this is just a wrapper of that script
- Darmody 6y agoIt crashes after a couple seconds. https://i.imgur.com/L9gLEck.png https://i.imgur.com/L9gLEck.png I've tried cropping the image and the video several times to make sure only the head is visible but it doesn't work. My image is around 250KB and the video slightly under 9MB. I'm saying this because of the two following lines: RuntimeError: imageio.mimread() has read over 256 MiB of image data. Stopped to avoid memory problems. Use imageio.get_reader() or memtest=False.
- thih9 6y agoWhy did you resubmit this so soon? There was already a discussion in an earlier thread. Context, another post from 12 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23423372 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23423372
