https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sora-by-openai/id6744034028 App link edit: CBN80W for an invite code
I downloaded the app but I get a "Sora is invite only" screen after logging in to my OpenAI account and asking for an invite code.

#42Overall, appears rather underwhelming. Long way to go still for video generation. Also, launching this as a social app seems like yet another desperate try to productize and monetize their tech, but this is the position big VC money forces you into.
I've perhaps been away from the scene for a bit, but I'm very impressed. To me this is absolutely "video generation", and I don't get your disdain for productization and monetization; last I checked this wasn't "Basic Research News".
I don't think it's disdainful to point out the lack of PMF for a dedicated app for Sora, nor how its behind competitors who don't require a dedicated social app. No need to strawman the guy, I think it's okay to be reasonably critical of ideas still on this website.
Inb4 make your own video model and see how easy it is
Re: Sora 2
#43It's obvious there is no way OpenAI can keep videos generated by this within their ecosystem. Everything will be fake, nothing real. We are going to have to change the way we interact with video. While it's obviously possible to fake videos today, it takes work by the creator and takes skill. Now it will take no skill so the obvious consequence of this is we can't believe anything we see.
The worst part is we are already seeing bad actors saying 'I didn't say that' or 'I didn't do that, it was a deep fake'. Now you will be able to say anything in real life and use AI for plausible deniability.
I predict a re-resurgence in life performances. Live music and live theater. People are going to get tired of video content when everything is fake.

#44Can it generate an analog clock displaying a given time?
Even if it can't, that wouldn't make this demo any less impressive.

#46I can see it being interesting to create wacky fake videos of your friends for a week or two, but why would people still be using this next year? I watch videos for two reasons. To see real things, or to consume interesting stories. These videos are not real, and the storytelling is still very limited.
I'm no Nostradamus, but I predict these models will be much better in a year.

#47Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?
- Political propaganda - Scamming people at scale - Nonconsensual pornography - Juicing engagement metrics for fading social media sites - The ongoing destruction of truth as a concept in our increasingly atomized and divided world
I think the last one takes the cake.

Democracy? Strengthened! Nothing says “informed electorate” like not knowing if a politician actually said they support nazism or if it was just a hyper-realistic AI puppet.
Trust in media? Soaring! Why believe your eyes or ears when you can doubt everything equally?
Journalism? Thriving! Reporters now get to spend their days playing forensic video detective instead of, you know, reporting news.
Social harmony? Better than ever! Nothing brings people together like shared paranoia and the collective shrug of “I guess truth is dead now.”
Honestly, what could possibly go wrong?
