No doubt they can create Hollywood quality clips if the tools are good enough to keep objects consistent, example, coming back to the same scene with same decor and also emotional consistency in actors

> keep objects consistent I think this is not nearly as important as most people think it is. In hollywood movies, everyone already knows about "continuity errors" - like when the water level of a glass goes up over time due to shots being spliced together. Sometimes shots with continuity errors are explicitly chosen by the editor because it had the most emotional resonance for the scene. These types of things rarely…

It all depends on quantity and "quality" of the continuity errors. There's even a job for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_supervisor

Sam 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…

>IMO you can't tweak the TikTok/YouTube shorts format and make it a societal good all of a sudden, especially with exclusively AI content.

I agree. At best, short videos can be entertainment that destroys your attention span. Anything more is impossible. Even if there were no bad actors producing the content, you can't condense valuable information into this format.

I wonder about the implications of this tech. State of the things with doom scrolling was already bad, add to it layoffs and replacing people with AI (just admit it, interns are struggling competing with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex) What's coming next? Bunch of people, with lots of free time watching non-sense AI generated content? I am genuinely curious, because I was and still excited about AI, until I saw how do…

They are not. This is false, zirp ended, this is the problem. Not LLMs.

Water level in a glass changing between shots is one thing, the protagonist’s face and clothes changing is another.

That could totally power next generation of green-screen techs. Generative actors may not find favorable response in the audiences; but SFX, decor, extras, environments that react to actors' actions - amazing potential.

You can already do really cool stuff in this area “old” tech like stable diffusion. Not realistic or anything but really cool looking/morphing images

Will something like Sora 2 actually be used in Hollywood productions? If so, what types of scenes? I imagine it won’t necessarily be used in long scenes with subtle body language, etc involved. But maybe it’ll be used in other types of scenes?

I saw a famous actor-director (can't remember who, but an A-list guy) said it would be super valuable even if you only use it for establishing shots. Like you have an exterior shot of a cabin, the surrounding environment, etc — all generated. Then you jump inside which can be shot on a traditional set in a studio. Getting that establishing shot in real life might cost $30K to find a location, get the crew there, etc.…

Probably Ben Affleck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypURoMU3P3U

The model's quality is incredible, but more tools are needed to take advantage of its capabilities, this is kinda the magic of open models.

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.

Fun and games until someone uses a tool like this to scam your family
