This appears to understand and generate text much better.
Hopefully just a few years to a prompt of "4k, widescreen render of this Star Trek: TNG episode".

#12"We have decided not to release the Imagen Video model or its source code until these concerns are mitigated"
Okay then why even post it in the first place? What exactly is Google going to do with this model?

Ask the "AI Ethicists". They have to justify their salaries in some way or another.
Or maybe Google is using "Responsible AI" as an excuse to minimize competitors when they release their own Imagen Video as a Service API in Google Cloud.
It's quite strange when the "ethical" thing to do is to not publicly release your research, put it behind a highly restrictive API and charge a high price for it ($0.02 per 1k tokens for Davinci for ex.)

#14We've been seeing very fast progress in AI since ~2012, but this swift jump from text-to-image models to text-to-video models will hopefully make it easier for people not following closely to appreciate the speed at which things are advancing.

#15I’m going to post an Ask HN about what am I supposed to do when I’m “disrupted”. I work in film / video / CG where the bread and butter is short form advertising for Youtube, Instagram and TV.
It’s painfully obvious that in 1 year the job might be exceedingly more difficult than it is now.

#16I recently watched Light & Magic, which among other things told the story of how difficult it was for many pioneers in special effects when the industry shifted from practical to digital in the span of a few years. It looks to me like a similar shift is about to happen again.

#17How has progress like this affected people's timelines of when we will get certain AI developments?
It has accelerated my expectations of getting better image and video synthesis algorithms, but I still see the same set of big unknowns between “this algorithm produces great output” and “this thing is an autonomous intelligence that deserves rights”.

#18Someone can explains the tech limitation of the size ( 512*512 ) for those AI generated arts?
Re: Imagen Video: high definition video generation with diffusion models
#19The most exciting thing about this to me is the possibility of doing photogrammetry from the frames and getting 3D assets. And then if we can do it all in real time...
you can already do this, just not in real time yet. You can upload frame sequences to Polycam's website for example, but there are several services out there which do the same thing

Whatever insights and expertize you've gained up until now can probably be used to gain enough of a competitive advantage in this future industry to be employed. I doubt the people that will spend their time on this professionally will be former coders etc. (I've seen the stable diffusion outputs that coders will tweet. It's a good illustration that taste is still hugely important.)
