Ah, I didn't realize I had happened upon a different model. Your actor list in the new model is much more reasonable.
I do hope more AI startups recognize that they are projecting an aesthetic whether they want to or not, and try to avoid the middle school boy or edgelord aesthetic, even if that makes up your first users.
One issue I notice in that last clip, and some other clips, is the abrupt ending... it feels like it's supposed to keep going. I don't know if that's an artifact of the input audio or what. But I would really like it if it returned to a kind of resting position, instead of the sense that it will keep going but that the clip was cut off.
On a positive note, I really like the Failure Modes section in your launch page. Knowing where the boundaries are gives a much better sense of what it can actually do.
We are trying to better understand the model behavior at the very end of the video. We currently extend the audio a bit to mitigate other end-of-video artifacts (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41468520), but this can sometimes cause uncanny behavior similar to what you are seeing.

Anyway, looking at V2 and seeing the female statue makes me think about what it would be like to take all the dialog from Galatea (https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=urxrv27t7qtu52lb) and putting it through this. [time passes :)...] trying what I think is the actual statue from the story is not a great fit, it feels too worn by time (https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2...). But with another statue I get something much better: https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2...
