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.

#52If this is anything near the demo they have been released, this seems incredibly good at physics. Wow. Can't wait to try the new app.
Sora 1 was also lauded as being incredibly good at physics based on the early cherry-picked examples. The phrase "world simulator" was thrown around a lot. That didn't last long once people finally got their hands on it though.
The space dog and ice skater demo make it seem still very close to Sora 1

#53Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?
Advertising: you (her) wearing new clothing before purchase, hair/glasses/makeup, make overs; guys after 3 months of gym membership, you driving the new car, you in this specific new home... etc, etc... I'm surprised this is not already everywhere, but people are too occupied making nsfw and fantasy violence clips.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
I imagine it's incredibly useful for prototyping movies, tv, commercials before going to the final version. CGI will probably get way cheaper too with some hybrid approach. Obviously this will get used for a lot of evil or bad as well
can you imagine a billion dollar company promoting their new pre-vis app?
I feel like that's missing the point of pre-vis anyway, its purpose is to lay down key details with precision but without regard for fidelity (e.g. https://youtu.be/KMMeHPGV5VE), a system with high fidelity but very loose control is the exact opposite of what they want.

#55It'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 alr…
The Sora 2 livestream indicates that videos exported from the app will have visual watermarks.

#56Honest question: What problem does this solve?
Liberation of employers from the shackles of their employees

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example:

Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.

I think that's the point... Then world coin comes to the rescue
Re: Sora 2
#59I find it comical that OpenAI with all the power of CharGPT even them are unable to release an app for both iOS and Android at the same time. Wow, good marketing for Codex.
Not even for all regions for iOS
Re: Sora 2
#60Sam Altman has made (for me) encouraging statements in the past about short-form video like TikTok being the best current example of misaligned AI. While this release references policies to combat "Doomscrolling and RL-sloptimization", it's curious that OpenAI would devote resources to building a social app based on AI generated short form video, which seems to be a core problem in our world. IMO you can't tweak the…
Sam Altman is a businessman. His job is to say whatever assuages his market, and that includes gaslighting you when you're disgusted by AI.
If you never expected Altman to be the figurehead of principled philosophy, none of this should surprise you. Of course the startup alumni guy is going to project maligned expectations in the hopes of being a multi-trillion dollar company. The shareholders love that shit, Altman is applying the same lessons he learned at Worldcoin to a more successful business.
There was never any question why Altman was removed, in my mind. OpenAI outgrew it's need for grifters, but the grifter hadn't yet outgrown his need for OpenAI.
