New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: LemonSlice – Give your voice agents a face

Show HN: LemonSlice – Give your voice agents a face 11 by lcolucci | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, we're the co-founders of LemonSlice ( https://lemonslice.com ). We train interactive avatar video models. Our API lets you upload a photo and immediately jump into a FaceTime-style call with that character. Here's a demo: https://ift.tt/p76HPLb Chatbots are everywhere. Voice AI has recently taken off. But we believe video avatars will be the most common form factor for conversational AI. Most people would rather watch something than read it. The problem is that generating video in real-time is hard, and overcoming the uncanny valley is even harder. We haven’t broken the uncanny valley yet. Nobody has. But we’re getting close and our photorealistic avatars are currently best-in-class (judge for yourself: https://ift.tt/Mxw3jNW ).

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Synesthesia, make noise music with a colorpicker

Show HN: Synesthesia, make noise music with a colorpicker 3 by tevans3 | 1 comments on Hacker News. This is a (silly, little) app which lets you make noise music using a color picker as an instrument. When you click on a specific point in the color picker, a bit of JavaScript maps the binary representation of the clicked-on color's hex-code to a "chord" in the 24 tone-equal-temperament scale. That chord is then played back using a throttled audio generation method which was implemented via Tone.js. NOTE! Turn the volume way down before using the site. It is noise music. :)
