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.
Funny how all the negative uses to which something like this might be put are regulated or criminalized already - if you try to scam someone, commit libel or defamation, attempt widespread fraud, or any of a million nefarious uses, you'll get fined, sued, or go to jail. Would you want Microsoft to claim they're responsible for the "safety" of what you write with Word? For the legality of the numbers you're punching i…
I can write an erotic fiction about your husband or wife or son or daughter in microsoft word, but it's a little different if I scrape their profiles and turn it into hardcore porn and distribute it to their classmates coworkers isn't it?

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?
> I wonder how all those European companies are doing it.
Carefully crafted/gerrymandered laws that only rent seek from American big tech.

You're not doing fine. I don't know how you can look back at the stagnation of the past two decades in the EU and think you're "doing fine." One of our companies is worth more than your entire tech industry. Your engineers get paid a fifth of what they could make here, so they often move here. In tech, you've fallen so far behind others superpowers that it's not even funny, and you're gleefully positioning yourself to fall even further behind. Your relative share of the global GDP is dropping.
You think you're doing fine, but if the EU doesn't plan on amending the regulatory-industrial complex that has caused its undeniable stagnation, it will eventually fall into irrelevancy, and be on the losing side of the rising global wealth inequality.

#615Wow this is bad. And by bad i mean worse than leading open source and existing alternatives. Is it me or does it seem like OpenAI revolutionized with both chatGPT and Sora, but they've completely hit the ceiling? Honestly a bit surprised it happened so fast!
No doubt. I was waiting so long for Sora but Runway already burned me out on AI video.
It was fun for a few days but far more limited than I would have ever expected.
Maybe Sora 5.0 will be something special. Right now though all these video models are basically shit.
Re: Sora is here
#616Technically it's amazing that this is possible at all. Yet I don't see how the world is better off for it on net. Aside from eliminating jobs in FX/filming/acting/set design/etc, what do we really gain? Amateur filmmakers can be more powerful? How about we put the same money into a fund for filmmakers to access. The negatives are plentiful, from the mundane reduction of our media to monolithic simulacra to putting th…

Humans are not built for this power to be in the hands of everyone with low friction
Now we have this with social media, everyone is their own little FSB propaganda machine…yay
Re: Sora is here
#618I think this would be fitting use case for niche stock video.

What did the EU do this time?
Probably this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Act , possibl this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act
I believe Sora is also not available in the UK, so it's rather maybe a decision to handle load better?

My working theory is that OpenAI is the 'moonshot' kind of company full of super smart researchers who like tackling hard problems, but have no time and effort for things like 'how do we create an UX people actually want to use', which actually requires a ton of painful back-and-forth and thoughtful design work. This is not a problem as long as they do the ChatGPT thing, and sell an API and let others figure out how…
Yeah… they have defined the UX that everyone else is copying thus far. So I feel like you are pretty far off the mark.
