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.

> You can sign up in-app for a push notification when access opens for your account.

You need to be in the US/Canada and wait for this notification, and when you get an invite you can start using it in the app and on sora.com. And apparently you get 4 more invite codes that you can share with anyone, e.g. Android users:

> Android users will be able to access Sora 2 via http://sora.com once you have an invite code from someone who already has access

Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?

Fun.

... how dare you, sir. That is entirely unacceptable and you will be reported to the ministry of proper living!

Regardless of the slop, some people will learn to use it well. You have stuff like NeuralViz - quite the sight! - and other creators will follow suit, and figure out how to use the new tools to produce content that's worth engaging with. Bigfoot vlogs and dinosaur chase scenes, all that stuff is mostly just fun.

People like to play. Let them play. This stuff looks fun, and beats Sora 1 by a long shot.

Hopefully it catalyzes

Find this sort of innovation far less interesting or exciting than the text & speech work, but it seems to be a primary driver of adoption for the median person in a way that text capability simply is not.

Video generation is extremely exciting a.k.a. https://video-zero-shot.github.io/

However, personalization (teleporting yourself into a video scene) is boring to me. At its core, it doesn't generate new experience to me. My experience is not defined by photos / videos I took on a trip.

Honest question: What problem does this solve?

Thing that was previously very expensive, manual and took a long time to do, and is done A LOT, is now made faster and cheaper by computers.

Pretty much the same problem we all work on every day in $DAY_JOB.

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? Bette…

lol i wonder if this will create a market for PKI at the image sensor level so that videos will be cryptographically signed and baked into the actual video stream with steganography.

So a social network that's 100% your friends doing silly AI things? I feel like this is the ultimate extension of "it feels like my feed is just the artificial version of what's happening my friends and doesn't really tell me anything about how they're actually faring."

Social media also tends to highlight the best parts of people’s lives, creating unrealistic expectations and views for those consuming it and looking at their real life. Now social media won’t even be a highlight reel, but completely fabricated.

I have to imagine there will be a rebellion against all of this at some point, when people simply can’t take the false realities anymore. What is the alternative? Ready Player One? The Matrix? Wall-E?

IDK if the site is being hugged to death but I can only load the first video. Even in just one viewing there were noticeable artifacts, so my impression is that Veo is still in the lead here.

Yeah I am curious what the actual resolution of these videos will be. The launch videos on this link will only play in like 360p for me.

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc 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.

What are the benefits of those videos?
