I'm not in the EU, but when I see something that is US only, I tend to assume its doing something with privacy/user data/otherwise that is restricted in the EU. Which means I generally avoid things that are not EU available even if they are available to me. Its not 100% but its a fairly decent measure of how much companies care about users to ensure they meet EU privacy laws from the start, vs if they provide some li…

I wonder how all those European companies are doing it. They ship everything all the time, avoid the $billions fines, yet make mistakes like everybody else.

> how much the EU slowed down innovation

You say this all the time, yet we're doing fine. How come?

A bit off-topic, but how much does a 4-letter (or less) .com go for these days? I wonder if they bought this via an intermediary so that the seller wouldnt see "OpenAI" and tack on a few zeros. edit: previously, this thread pointed to sora.com

Pretty off-topic, but yes, domains and land are often bought via shell companies for this reason. They probably didn't settle upon the name Sora until they already secured the .com . That's a famous YC piece of advice. If you can't get the .com then rename. But for domains that everyone wants, like chat.com, OpenAI paid 8 figures for that one.

oh, and the output videos that are generated are 5sec clips at 554x960px. this is on a single A6000

It looks good, I'm just wondering why it has no attention from the ML community

HunYuan is all everybody on Banodoco and the broader comfy ecosystem are talking about. And that's with Lightricks' LTX model having just been announced too.

HunYuan is seriously amazing and it looks like it'll be the Flux/Stable Diffusion of AI video.

Sora is cooked.

Every day that passes I grow fonder of Google's decision to delay or otherwise keep a lot of this under the wraps. The other day I was scrolling down on YouTube shorts and a couple videos invoked an uncanny valley response from me (I think it was a clip of an unrealistically large snake covering some hut) which was somehow fascinating and strange and captivating, and then scrolling down a few more, again I saw someth…

I don't even know if this will be possible, or how it would work, but it seems like the next iteration of social media will be based on some verification that the user is not using AI or is a bot. Currently they are all incentivized to not stop bot activity because it increases user counts, ad revenue, etc. Maybe the model is you have to pay per account to use it, or maybe the model will be something else. I doubt th…

Twitter Blue is paid and yet every single bot account has it in order to boost views.

“Right before the TikTok ban goes into effect” is incredible market timing for the release of a tool that is useless for anything other than terrible TikTok spam videos

Hey now, no need to downplay the product here, it's also useful for spamming other video sharing platforms! Think Facebook timelines, which are already full of AI image barf, Twitter feeds, which mostly consist of AI text barf, and Youtube Shorts, which is full of existing AI animation barf!

Soon, lots of people can pay a modest sum to make the internet just a worse for everyone in exchange for a chance to make their money back!

anyone done a comparison with the open-source hunyuanvideoai.com?

0 stars, and no comments the last time this was posted. Maybe too good to be true?

That's not the upstream source. You're looking for this:

https://github.com/Tencent/HunyuanVideo/

This isn't "too good to be true" - this is the holy grail. Hunyuan is set to become the Flux/Stable Diffusion of AI video.

I don't see how Hunyuan doesn't completely kill off Sora. It's 100% open source, is rapidly being developed for consumer PCs, can be fine tuned, works with ComfyUI/other tools, and it has control nets.

I've found using these and similar tools that the amount of prompts and iteration required to create my vision (image or video in my mind) is very large and often is not able to create what I had originally wanted. A way to test this is to take a piece of footage or an image which is the ground truth, and test how much prompting and editing it takes to get the same or similar ground truth starting from scratch. It is…

If you use it in a utilitarian way it'll give you a run for your money, if you use for expression, such as art, learning to embrace some serendipity, it makes good stuff.

It will not be available in the EU for now. I always feel disadvantaged when I read that sentence

Are you saying you're not glad that the EU has chosen for you?

I would ask an AI to generate a riff on a "I am the very model of a modern major general" but for some EU bureaucrat but I'll spare you the spam.

Users, not tools, should be judged. It is unlikely anyone is going to perform act of terrorism with this, or any kind of deep fakes that buy Easter European elections. The worst outcome is likely teens having a laugh.

And the teens are having a laugh by... creating deepfake nudes of their classmates? The tools are bad, and the toolmakers should feel deep guilt and shame for what they released on the world. Do you not know the story of Nobel and dynam…
