Generated videos that I see from ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 model are pretty ground breaking (compared to Sora, Google Veo and such).
Genuinely surprised not to see a lot of chatter about it on HN!

#2Take a look at the fraction of slop posts about AI on /new and what gets to the front page. Frankly who cares about another model that is samey with all the other models? We all know there's going to be a better one in 0.10 sec.

#3Probably because it isn't officially released yet.

#4I hate to sound like a broken record, but the HN crowd is mostly uninterested in AI use. Much of the news is commentary around AI, but there's less interest in using it as a technology.
Seedance 2 is a lot like the DeepSeek moment last year. I fully expect it to blow up and then degrade into conversations about politics. But usually the hype overwhelms X first.

#5AI Fatigue. I'm a fan of AI but I've stopped clicking on stories about it because it's mostly hype, slop, fomo, and flat-out lies.

#6HN is very interested in coding agents, and many are interested in voice AI. Not so much video generation, perhaps because its still so limited .

#7I see quite a lot on X.
The specs they have for Seedance 3.0 look insane, I wonder if they can pull it off.

That one looks like fake news to me. But we will see. I think the next iteration may reach 1-2 minutes instead of 15 seconds, so we will see 5 minutes of stitched together videos instead of 1-2 mins.
