I think the emphasis on using them for ads & monetizable slop is because they’re currently too expensive and thus usually need to be part of a revenue generating pipeline.
There is a woman on twitter who makes seedance videos of her and Dario from anthropic, they're kinda weird but generally pretty high quality: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2058458683781365873 (full collection: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2082740754380984373 ) - seeing them was the first time I'd been impressed with AI video gen.
The scene that says “Stanford University” looks a lot like UCLA.

UCLA is often used as a stand in for many colleges in movie sets (notably Harvard, as one of the buildings in UCLA has the Harvard crest on it specifically for this purpose) due to its proximity to Hollywood. It likely ended up in the training data that way

people like it. Maybe not older generations, but we're about to get a fresh new generation of people that will not have a lifetime of experience looking at human generated content, and so have no real bias against AI content. And then every generation after that will be born into increasingly a AI-video rich world.

Seedance 2.5 looks amazing, but MiniMax H3 is going to be open weights within 24 hours: https://fal.ai/minimax-h3 . According to the ComfyUI team, it should even work acceptably on mid-range consumer GPUs like the 3080. I'd honestly take the slight quality hit for more control and lower costs.
I’m watching H3 to see if it fixes the nonsense that LTX introduced and what happens next… WAN is due, LTX says a new model is coming, Flux3 does video.
It went from zero video models to a lot of options due this year.

This is deeply disturbing…for so…so so many reasons.
This is absolutely hilarious https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2049828401201246395

Now they cause harm because there's people that may believe a fake video is real. But people is developing skepticism about what they see in videos and learning to think that they may be generated, before taking them as true. What kind of harms do you have in mind?
No longer being able to tell whether any image or video is real due to the extreme ease of creating realistic fakes, is itself a harm.
