Deepfakes of Chinese influencers are livestreaming 24/7
- ttyprintk 3y agoI’m unsure this is a business story more than a technology story. At $1370 profit for $1000 computing, it seems like an extension of already-narrowly-channeled Chinese influencers into late night infomercials. Maybe competing with deepfakes will necessitate ever more dramatic and manic expressions over depressingly banal products. Maybe the state’s massive face landmark database will empower a revolving cottage industry of influencer-alikes to drive down the GPU model size needed for convincing deepfakery.
