People will be swayed by AI-generated videos while also being convinced real videos are AI.
I'm kinda terrified of the future of politics.
"Whether Sora lasts or not, however, is somewhat beside the point. What catches my attention most is that OpenAI released this app in the first place. It wasn’t that long ago that Sam Altman was still comparing the release of GPT-5 to the testing of the first atomic bomb , and many commentators took Dario Amodei at his word when he proclaimed 50% of white collar jobs might soon be automated by LLM-based tools." That'…
In fact a fun thing to think about is what signals we could observe in markets that specifically call out AGI as the expectation as opposed to simple bullish outlook on inference usage.

What was predicted to be next: AGI What we got next: porn
Porn (visual and written erotic impression) has been a normal part of the human experience for thousands of years. Across different religions, cultures, technological capabilities. We're humans.
There will always be a market for it, wherever there is a mismatch between desire for and access to sexual activity.
Generate your own porn is definitely a huge market. Sharing it with others, and then the follow-on concern of what's in that shared content, could lead to problems.
I'm more concerned about Sora (and video-generating AI in general) being the final pour that cements us into our post-truth world. People will be swayed by AI-generated videos while also being convinced real videos are AI. I'm kinda terrified of the future of politics.
On the other side we want to believe in something, so we'll believe in the video that will suit our beliefs.
It's an interesting struggle.

Was a mistake from the beginning to use language as the basis for tokens and embedded spaces between them to generate semantics. It wasn't thought out, it was a snowball trial and error that went out of control.
Lol ok. We'll wait for your game changing technology, keep us posted.

Maybe they'll have to tour and meet people in person because videos will be devoid of trust. On the other side we want to believe in something, so we'll believe in the video that will suit our beliefs. It's an interesting struggle.

Attractive people in sexually fulfilling relationships still look at porn.
It's just human.
