Deep Live Cam: Real-time face swapping and one-click video deepfake tool
- blini2077 2y agoDeep Live Cam is a cutting-edge AI tool that enables real-time face replacement in videos or images using just a single photo. Perfect for video production, animation, and more.
- emsign 2y agoI don't want to see faked videos.
- warkdarrior 2y agoSon, you no longer have an option on our free service. But you can subscribe to our deep fake-free service for only $89.99/month.
- exe34 2y agoYou won't know the difference.
- corn13read2 2y agoMaybe you have been this whole time...
- cs702 2y agoWell, I understand how it works, and I still find it freaking amazing. The quality is... impressive. On the flip side, the ability to deep-fake a face in real time on a video call is now accessible to pretty much every script kiddie out there. In other words, you can no longer trust what your eyes see on video calls. We live in interesting times.

- Xeoncross 2y agoIt's interesting, because the subconscious ability of the mind to identify discrepancies is incredible (even if we ignore that feeling we get about something). The feel of counterfeit bills, the color someone choose to wear, the sound that doesn't quite fit. I think deep-fakes are mostly a danger to people without a lot of source material for their minds to compare against. You could trick me into believing I was taking with Elon, but not my son.
- reaperducer 2y agoYou could trick me into believing I was taking with Elon, but not my son. And yet there have been several recent studies that show the younger someone is, the more likely they are to be scammed online. > In 2021, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z young adults (ages 18-59) were 34% more likely than older adults (ages 60 and over) to report losing money to fraud,[1] and some types of fraud stood out. Younger adults reported losses to online shopping fraud – which often started with an ad on social media – far more often than any other fraud type, and most said they simply did not get the items they ordered.[2] Younger adults were over four times more likely than older adults to report a loss on an investment scam.[3] Most of these were bogus cryptocurrency investment opportunities. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/data-visualizations/data-spotlight/2022/12/who-experiences-scams-story-all-ages https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/data-visualizations/data-spo...

- rnimmer 2y agoFTA: "Ethical Use Safeguards Built-in checks prevent processing of inappropriate content, ensuring legal and ethical use." I see it claims to not process content with nudity, but all of the examples on the website demo impersonation of famous people, including at least one politician (JD Vance). I'm struggling to understand what the authors consider 'ethical' deepfaking? What is the intended 'ethical' use case here? Of all the things you can build with AI, why this?
- KolmogorovComp 2y agoFor many (notably mastercard and VISA), when they say “ethical” they really mean anything but porn.
- hackernewds 2y agothat seems like an overreaction. the card processors ban much more questionable trades - such as weapons and terrorism financing
- goda90 2y agoHow long until we see "anti-cheat"-like software to try to detect this stuff for video chatting?
- diggan 2y agoI'm guessing that finding a technology to try to detect this would be over-engineering. I'd love to see a sample where the person with the swapped face passes their hand with spread fingers over their face, and see how it handles that.
- Raicuparta 2y agoI've tried it, it currently does not handle that scenario well at all.
- warkdarrior 2y agoWait three months, it'll be fixed.
- radicality 2y agoPerhaps we’ll see it a requirement to use a closed platform like an iPhone where it would be much easier to attest that the feed is not tampered with. It’s already a requirement sometimes to take a video of your face from multiple angles using your phone - some identity verification service forced me to do it. I imagine that stuff like this will evolve to check for hardware attestations more, or use info from depth/lidar sensors to verify video and other sensor data align.
- dpweb 2y agoFacinating software although I hope the idea "we're gonna rely on people to be good humans and DO THE RIGHT THING" is quickly abandoned and instead there is just as robust development of detection software that goes along with newer and better deep fake tools.
- BugsJustFindMe 2y agoDetection is ultimately impossible. Anything you can detect can be explicitly evaded.
- exe34 2y agoI dream of a world where a web of trust signatures are taken seriously. A few hops should get you to a real human holding the camera who claims it's a real recording. If that person or someone along the way is regularly flagged as malicious by others that you trust, you can blacklist them.

- mhuffman 2y agoI think the terminal solution to this, in the US and maybe the EU, will be putting identifying code/chips into all devices capable of connecting to the Internet that will tag all content (video, text, audio, images) in some way where browsers will have to legally change to interpret them. This will make everyone either unable to use the Internet or known to anyone that "needs to know".
- nope1000 2y agoTechnically impressive but I fail to see a good use case for it that's not related to propaganda or scam and the website doesn't seem to list one either.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoIf I had to dig way, way down to the bottom of the barrel for use cases, it would be very funny if everyone showed up to a meeting wearing one of the attendee's faces.
- nwoli 2y agoOne legitimate one I could imagine is if people want to pursue a career in the adult film industry but without having to reveal their true face (not with a celebrity face of course)
- eltoxo 2y agoI have been thinking about this comment and if it isn't a celebrity then just someone you know? If not someone you know then just a random stranger? Not that I can think of a better use case but it is telling if this is the best we can do.
- doctorhandshake 2y agoThis makes me think there could be use for a very very (very) easy-to-use tool that allows two parties to choose and store a secret (verbally pronounceable) passphrase known only to the two of them, for use in situations in which it might be necessary to ‘sign’ a video chat or audio conversation in which one party’s identity might be in doubt.
- reaperducer 2y agoa very very (very) easy-to-use tool that allows two parties to choose and store a secret (verbally pronounceable) passphrase known only to the two of them So, quite literally, a "password" in its original pre-internet meaning.
- doctorhandshake 2y agoHaha yes. Maybe a secret knock?
- 101008 2y agoI always liked that idea (not original, I know) in the Harry Potter books (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, more specifically), where two people ask a private question they should only know to be sure they are not being impersonated.
- sebastiennight 2y agoI've seen people try and share such a "password" verbally on a video call. With recording and live transcribing on. From free-tier extensions with wobbly privacy policies. This won't work. I've resorted to using OTP apps with family and coworkers.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoSo you force your parents/kids/aunts/etc to give you a one time code every time they want to talk to you? That seems extremely clunky and impersonal and I couldn’t imagine anyone in my family willingly agreeing to do it.
- haxiomic 2y agoI miss the recent past where new tech felt exciting and inspiring but for the last few years new developments are often coupled with an anxiety for the new harms possible and often unclear benefits. I wonder how much is 'inevitable', at large enough scale we will always exploring new possibility spaces as they become available and how much is our choosing – we put resources to build these things in full awareness because we think they bring value over focusing on other things. I realise though it is useful for society to develop understanding and defences for these things early I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech. I'm still processing how to react to this and what to choose to work on in response Am I in a bubble? Do you share similar feelings or are yours quite different? I am very curious
- diggan 2y ago> I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech Are you actively contributing to these areas you feel ashamed about? If not, you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech". I'm sure not all people working on medical research agrees with what all other researchers are working on, but you cannot really control what others are working on, so why feel ashamed over what others are working on?
- reaperducer 2y agoyou shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech". Why not? Someone who builds boxes that hold bombs can be ashamed of being in the munitions industry, even if they don't make the actual bombs.
- diggan 2y agoRight, but if you're in general "manufacturing", there isn't much point of feeling ashamed about some parts of the industry focusing on munitions manufacturing.

- curiousgal 2y agoIn the world? You'd be surprised by how many grandmas out there that don't have bank accounts or access to the Internet...
- reaperducer 2y agoJust need to add voice augmentation and every grandma and grandpa in the world will have their bank accounts cleaned out! Only if by "grandma" you mean "Millennial" and by "grandpa" you mean "Gen Z." Your ageism doesn't jibe with reality: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/data-visualizations/data-spotlight/2022/12/who-experiences-scams-story-all-ages https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/data-visualizations/data-spo...
- hungie 2y agoI think you should read that again. It's clear that different age groups fall for different scams and have different impacts from them. Grandparents absolutely fall for some scams at disproportionate rates. And are less likely to be able to recover. (A 19 year old who loses everything has many more productive years to recover than a 72 year old.) Also, humorously, millennials are starting to become grandma and grandpa. Elder millennials are in their mid 40s. It's young, but not impossible for them to be grandparents now.
- XorNot 2y agoA practical use of this would be to animate your face onto a CGI model which was independently posed for the purposes of video meetings - which is something I've always wanted. Let me separate my face, body and words and craft the experience.
- greeniskool 2y agoFace tracking has existed for years now. I frankly don't see what's different between what you described and FaceRig.
- XorNot 2y agoYou're missing the point: I want a fake version of myself. I want a model which is made photoreal with my own image, so it can be given a voice in real time with my words, but a filtered version of my facial expression and pose. So how I look and act is essentially scriptable.
- radicality 2y agoI think that’s already happening. You can buy a trained model of someone to do 24/7 live-streaming peddling products, or even black-mirror-esque bringing back deceased ones.

- illnewsthat 2y agoWhat’s the technical difference in how this works vs. previous face swapping tech (like Snapchat filters)?
- zug_zug 2y agoTechnologically seems cool, and the first use that pops into mind is "wouldn't this be funny to prank my friend?" But maybe no, it wouldn't. Maybe it'd be deeply disconcerting. We have very strong norms around honesty as a society, and maybe crossing them in video just for a joke is comparably crass to giving somebody a fake winning lottery ticket.

- FredPret 2y agoI think AI + deepfakes will increase the value pressure on in-person interactions - ie, the only time when you can (for now) believe your eyes and ears. I wonder how politics can be transacted in such an environment. Old-timey first-past-the-post might be the optimal solution if you can't trust anything from out of earshot.

- FredPret 2y agoThose are relevant to the workings of government. The process of politicians debating and getting elected is going to have to be much more local. Just look at how easy it is to spread misinformation now.
- carapace 2y agoMy hope is that we (as a global society) re-learn to value honor and honesty. > The process of politicians debating and getting elected is going to have to be much more local.

- Stagnant 2y agoLooks like this project is a fork of the discontinued roop[0] with primarily some UI improvements.

- chefandy 2y agoWell, this will make for some "interesting" viral campaign fodder.
- araes 2y agoHuh. Thought politics was dead with VASA-1 [1], EMO [2], and Animate / Outfit anyone [3], so we could clothe people in anything, animate them any way we want, put them anywhere, and have them say anything to the public. "Thoughts and prayers victims..." However, this really nails that pretty dead itself. Wonder if I can: - Sit at home in pajamas. - Change my face to Sec. of Def. Lloyd Austin. - Put myself in a nice suit from TV - Call the White House with autotune voice pretending to be going in for surgery yet again because of life threatening complications - Send the entire military into conniptions (maybe mention some dangerous news I need to warn them about before the emergency rush surgery starts) Edit: This [4] might be an Animate / Outfit anyone image... It's difficult to tell. Even with huge amounts of experience, the quality has become too elevated, too quick to check 1000's of depressing murder images for fakes because it might be a BS heart string story. All stories on the WWW are now, "that might be fake, unless I can personally check." Al-arabiya upvoted casinos and lotteries for muslims recently. [5] "they all might be fake."

You can still post anonymously but it wont hold as much weight compared to you posting using your verified Internet identity. This idea of mine i posted good number of times here and it gets downvoted but with the IRS in bed with ID.Me (elon musk is involved with them in some capacity) you can see what i mention with ID.me and the IRS being a small step in this direction. Otherwise no one uses the Internet (zero trust of it) .. it dies and we go back to reading books and meeting in person (doesnt sound all that bad yet ive never read a book before).

- kshri24 2y agoI am not at all comfortable with this. Even though it is an amazing demo I feel the release of this tool could not have been more ill-timed. It has all the potential of wrecking US elections this year. I don't really know what the optimal release time should have been but I don't see how this can be used for good at all. And I am still just considering implications of this restricted to elections. I am not even going to think about what it would mean to child porn, terrorism and even entire assassinations orchestrated to destabilize a Government leading to Civil/World Wars. Lots of things can go wrong with this tech.
- mc32 2y agoAnother huge issue is fraud. People impersonating others for financial fraud, etc. Question is, is it stoppable? Doubt anyone thinks it can be stopped unless you get into fascistic/communistic/authoritarian tactics of arresting people for just using it at all.
- cdrini 2y agoIt's really getting to the point where multimedia online shouldn't be trusted unless it's from a reputable source and cross verified. I wonder, is there a universe where maybe cameras are updated to add some sort of digital signature to videos/photos to indicate they are real and haven't been tampered with? Is that feasible/possible? I'm not skilled with cryptography stuff to know, but if we can digital sign documents with some amount of faith... I've heard folks mention trying to tag AI photos/videos, but it seems like tagging non-AI photos/videos is more feasible?
- bravoetch 2y agoThe idea of a signed and verified stream has only been used to enforce old-school distribution rights. Because of this, the implementations are clunky and have zero incentive for consumer adoption. Why buy your own handcuffs?
- cdrini 2y agoThe incentive is to prove that the video is not AI generated. Useful for consumers, news organisations, camera manufacturers, etc. The idea would be you can still copy the file/change the video, but the signature will no longer be valid. It's not mean to be restrictive like handcuffs/DRM.
- sylware 2y agoThat will be funny once those neural nets can be infered on a normal person beefy workstation (or a few of them). Just thei "ethical" goes down the drain. It is already ez to run text troll AIs on normal workstations... so...
- maxglute 2y agoNext 3 months is going to get interesting.
- raflueder 2y agoI can see this changing how people interact over video calls, we might start having to exchange a "key phrase" whenever we join a call, so that both sides can make sure the person on the other side is who they say they are (or appear to be), even within families, perhaps not yet but soon enough. Crazy times.
