How can I clone myself using ML?

> beginner-friendly

> video in real time

These two are going to be mutually exclusive for a few years, I'm afraid. Sure, the hardware investment will put you back a few thousand dollars, but running the latest temporally-stable video models is not realistic for most experienced devs, much less a beginner. If you wanted to be corny you could train a few-shot voice model to sound like you and plug it into GPT-3, but that would be neither realtime nor particularly gratifying.

It's not exactly a surprise that this is a bad idea. Now I'm going to get nightmares with my AI doppelganger repeating GPT-3 gobbledygook in monotone...

Start logging and recording yourself constantly build up a database essentially of you. Have videos of you doing motions. Videos of you walking in different directions. Have recordings of your speech and singing. Just have everything of you as much as you can because that'll be probably what you need if you want to just make a clone of the physical representation of you.

I like the cut of your jib. This makes me realize I can follow the same steps, then threaten to clone myself and make beaucoup bucks on the ransom. I’m sure plenty of people would pay to stop that from happening.
