DeepFaceLive VS huey

https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive. This is the first result Google gives me. Rudimentary, but enough to possibly trick someone who isn't knowledgeable enough. Instead of a fully AI generated person, it is a digital face swap. Essentially, you are correct in that the technological leap towards making a fully interactive deep fake is likely far beyond current technological capabilities. Especially for a scammer. Digitally swapping a face sidesteps that technological limitation.

A more lifelike deformer would be running a 'deepfake' layer over your face motion into your 2D character face, but so far I haven't tried it yet. Here is some example of a well known open source 'faceswapper' : https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive

DeepFaceLive https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive You have to create a celeb model first or download a publicly available model

"Advanced AI" is an expression that makes politicians and decision makers to go on a rampage. Don't get your hopes up, the way the world reacted to ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and stuff like that already suggests all AIs will be pretty much government regulated eventually and people like Eugenia has no way to circumvent this. Add projects like https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive into the mix and you can see the perfect storm brewing up already...

I've considered using Nextflow for bioinformatics pipelines but have yet to take the plunge. At work, I develop a proteomics pipeline that is composed of huey¹ tasks (Python library; simple alternative to Celery) which either use subprocess to call out to some external tool, or are just pure python. It runs in a worker container which is created by docker swarm, and all containers pull jobs from redis. For our scale, it works great. However, I don't have control over the resource utilization of individual steps, and in the past I've had issues with the pipeline blocking as a result of how I was chaining tasks together. I think something like Nextflow would remove these limitations, but one thing I think I would miss is the ability to debug individual pipeline steps locally with an interactive debugger. As far as I can tell, Nextflow has logging/tracing facilities but nothing quite like an interactive debugger. I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong, or even that I'm doing it wrong.

Other options are DjangoQ and Huey, which tend to work ok. Of the two I prefer DjangoQ. Database backed, don't require the Redis/Celery rigmarole.

Funny, just this moment i finally switched from Celery to huey. And so far I don't regret. huey looks very promising, has good documentation and is well integrated into DJango. You should give it a try: https://github.com/coleifer/huey

huey – a little task queue for python

Huey -> Same again?

I just want to add that a couple celery alternatives worth looking at include huey and dramatiq.

huey

same, I ran into an issue cos of django-background-tasks. I am thinking to replace it with huey
