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.

The older generation loves them the most. Sometimes my mom sends me several AI generated reels in one day and she doesn't care if it's AI or not she just finds them funny.

Going to be a wild future that is for sure. I can see many ways this will go, some not so good.

Older generations absolutely love AI slop. If you haven't used Facebook recently, it's all old people sharing fake videos of animals doing silly things.

Well I find that after a certain age the behavior of old generations reverts to the same childlike patterns of young generations. It’s always the people in the middle who are getting screwed, they have to be the adults.

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.

You've seen movies before. You know that they can make fake videos look realistic. We have an entire industry built around it, so why is it only a harm now?

Since it took a certain amount of time and effort, as well as skill in the past, it was a significantly lesser problem than it's becoming now. Especially with video footage.

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.

This. I'm very much happy to see minimax-h3 be released. I have so many projects that I have on the back burner that I could complete within minutes instead of hours and hours. "Typography, UI, and Graphics".

It could also still be the best it's ever going to be.

Anybody old enough to remember when https://imagen.research.google/video/ was SOTA?

do you remember that article from google where it would hallucinate as if it was on acid/psychedelics and people going crazy saying this is the AI "imagining reality" and then shortly after some Googler went on a very brief media tour saying LLMs were sentient?

its crazy how much people extrapolate, the consensus back then was "cute but we won't get there" then suddenly we got GPT 3.0, 4o, 5.x, seedance

what people really underestimate is how much faster progress is now with AI

Fyi based on what people are saying on twitter, seedance 2.5 is ~2x as expensive. For a 30 second generation at dreamina it costs 1440 credits or around $15

Which is next to nothing compared to the cost of a movie, animated TV show, or quality YouTube video.

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.

I wonder if it'd handle chopsticks better: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p0yrn0x4q5pdz1ibl0gfa/Screens... (from your first link)

For first of us without twitter:

I can not believe how good the AI video has gotten. In one spot the written letters were obvious AI. Other than that - I couldn't find a thing.
