This is going to make the latest election really interesting (and scary). Is anyone working to ensure a faked video of Biden that looks plausible but is AI generated doesn't get significant traction at a critical moment of the election?

They've released it but not made it GA

This is insane. Even though there are open-source models, I think this is too dangerous to release to the public. If someone would've uploaded that Tokyo video to youtube, and told me it was a drone.. I would've believed them. All "proof" we have can be contested or fabricated.

The key word there is "someone". The only way forward is to care a lot more about our sources. Trust is about to become really valuable.

We give too much credit to ordinary people. All these bleeding-edge advancements in AI, code, databases, and technology are things a user on HNews would be aware of. However, most peers in regular jobs, parents, children, et al., would be susceptible to being fooled on social media. They're not going to say... "hmm, let me fact-check and see if the sources are correct and that this wasn't created by AI."

They'll simply see an inflammatory tweet from their leader on Twitter.

> All "proof" we have can be contested or fabricated. This has been the case for a while now already, it's better that we just rip off the bandaid and everyone should become a skeptic. Standards for evidence will need to rise.

If you rip off the bandaid too soon, there will be blood.

This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.

It is incredible indeed, but I remember there was a humongous gap between the demoed pictures for DALL-E and what most prompts would generate.

Don't get overly excited until you can actually use the technology.

Let's hold our breath. Those are specifically crafted hand-picked good videos, where there wasn't any requirement but "write a generic prompt and pick something that looks good", with no particular requirements. Which is very different from the actual process where you have a very specific idea and want the machine to make it happen. DALL-E presentation also looked cool and everyone was stoked about it. Now that we k…

The examples are most certainly cherry-picked. But the problem is there are 50 of them. And even if you gave me 24 hour full access to SVD1.1/Pika/Runway (anything out there that I can use), I won't be able to get 5 examples that match these in quality (~temporal consistency/motions/prompt following) and more importantly in the length. Maybe I am overly optimistic, but this seems too good.

Not loving that there are more details on safety than details of the actual model, benchmarks, or capabilities. > That’s why we believe that learning from real-world use is a critical component of creating and releasing increasingly safe AI systems over time. "We believe safety relies on real-world use and that's why we will not be allowing real-world use until we have figured out safety."

Yeah, it would be way better if they just released it right away, so that political campaigns can use AI generated videos of their opponents doing horrible/stupid things right before an election and before any of the general public has any idea that fake videos could be this realistic.

They're literally taking requests and doing them in 15 minutes.

It's very good. Unclear how far ahead of Lumiere it is ( https://lumiere-video.github.io/ ) or if its more of a difference in prompting/setttings.

In terms of following the prompt and generating visually interesting results, I think they're comparable. But the resolution for Sora seems so far ahead.
