I find the edit video with text the most fascinating aspect. I can see this being used for indie films that doesn’t have a CGI budget. Like the scene with the movie theater, you can film them on lounge chairs first and then edit it to seem like a movie theater.

#22Any chance of this being released open weights? Or is the risk of bad PR too high (especially near a US election)? It being 30B gives me hope.
> Any chance of this being released open weights?
Considering that Facebook/Meta releases blog posts titled "Open Source AI Is the Path Forward" but then refuses to actually release any Open Source AI, I'm guessing the answer is a hard "No".
They might release it under usage restrictions though, like they did with Llama, although probably only the smaller versions, to limit the output quality.

5 years ago there were no AI videos. A bit over a year ago the best AI videos were hilarious hallucinations of Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Today we have these realistic videos that are still in the uncanny valley. That's insane progress in the span of a year. Who knows what it will be like in another year.
Let'em cook.

#24That's very impressive.

#25Website doesn't work on Firefox and videos don't play on Edge.
They should consider asking the AI to make a correct website before having it make hippos swim.
Re: Meta Movie Gen
#26All the vids have that instantly recognizable GenAI "sheen", for the lack of a better word. Also, I think the most obvious giveaway are all the micro-variations that happen along the edges, which give a fuzzy artifact.
At least all the humans in these videos seem to have the correct number of fingers, so that's progress. And Moo Deng seems to have a natural sheen for some reason so can't hold that against them. But your point about the edges is still a major issue.

I think the big blind spot people have with these models is that the release pages only show just the AI output. But anyone competently using these AI tools will be using them in step X of a hundred step creative process. And it's only going to get worse as both the AI tools improve and people find better ways to integrate them into their workflow.

#28Hippos can't actually swim though.
Was my first reaction too when seeing the video at the top. But then after thinking about it, it makes sense as an example, you want to showcase things that aren't real but look realistic. A hippo swimming looks real, but it isn't as they don't swim.

Disco Diffusion was a (bad) thing in 2021 that lead to the spaghetti video / weird Burger Kind Ads level quality. But it ran on consumer GPUs / in Jupyter notebook.
2 years ago we had decent video generation for clips
7 months ago we have Sora https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39393252 (still silence since then)
With these things, like DALL-E 1 and GPT-3, the original release of the game changer often comes ca. 2 years before people can actually use it. I think that's what we're looking at.
I.e. it's not as fast as you think.
Re: Meta Movie Gen
#30Some of these look really obviously bad, like the guy spinning the fire and the girl running along the beach. And it completely failed at the bubbles
