Hey guys! I'm one of the founders of Impressions, the first mobile deepfake app on a phone. Try it out and give us your thoughts. Right now it's out for IOS but Android is on route. Here's our website https://impressions.app

I strongly recommend you read up on "Likeness Rights" (as in celebrity likeness rights) - they are a big deal, particularly for any product that is available within the state of California (which has extremely strong laws around them). As your product stands today you will be sued and you will lose because you are absolutely using celebrity likenesses to sell your product in the Apple Store. It doesn't matter whether the images you generate are debatably non-celebrity or not because you're using the likeness of specific celebrities to sell the app.

For reference on Likeness Rights, one of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob movies has an entire sub-plot that revolves around the financial significance of likeness rights.

Very weak output I’ve seen so far. Trying another before passing judgment, but honestly this is so obviously fake output so far.

Edit: now done three images, all well lit face, no dramatic movements, and the output is just terrible.

It really depends on lots of factors. Lighting, angle, face type, the celebrity you choose and your facial hair. If you're squinting your eyes for example, you won't get decent results. DM me your ID from under settings so I can give you credits to play with.

Recently I found out Balsa (https://github.com/balsa-team/balsa) - which looks promising since it has a WYSIWYG editor with comments, plus can be deployed on premises.

Hey Peter, We're a company based out of Turkey but have also incorporated in the US with a single US employee making ~700K/ARR as of last year. We're thinking of getting an L1-A to move some of our staff and myself to the US. Do you think we would be eligible for L1-A as of yet?

Yes, it's possible, but you'll likely have a fight on your hands with USCIS because of the newness and size of the U.S. company. But I would still fight the fight if this is something that you want to do to grow the business.

That's the whole idea. Thanks.

An E-2 also might be an option if the U.S. company is majority Turkish owned. We've done this for a number of Turkish entrepreneurs/companies.

Great. We'll look into it and how do we reach you?

My email address is in my profile. Feel free to reach out to me.

When interviewing, what key points are you looking for?

I've seen you try to use the markdown list syntax enough times on HN now that you might consider patching it in.
