I predict a re-resurgence in life performances. Live music and live theater. People are going to get tired of video content when everything is fake.

One would think, but people are spending less on live events due to costs

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…

I’m wondering how they really prevent uploads of other peoples faces if they take a clip of a video of another person. I’m sure Apple didn’t open up the 3d Face ID scanning to them to verify

Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.

The value will shift to search or curation - if the cost to produce drops to nil, then the value will be in finding good content amongst a flood of sameness.

I can see it being interesting to create wacky fake videos of your friends for a week or two, but why would people still be using this next year? I watch videos for two reasons. To see real things, or to consume interesting stories. These videos are not real, and the storytelling is still very limited.

You only watch real things? Have you never watched a movie?

Now videos will be generated on the fly based on your preference. You will never put your phone down, it will detect when your sad or happy and generate videos accordingly

So a social network that's 100% your friends doing silly AI things? I feel like this is the ultimate extension of "it feels like my feed is just the artificial version of what's happening my friends and doesn't really tell me anything about how they're actually faring."

I built an MVP of this [1] with images (not video) and in more of an Instagram style (not tiktok) back in ‘22, with the tagline ‘What if social media were literally fake?’

I am bullish on this, albeit with major concerns in many domains. It was fun and addictive as hell with images. With video it will be wild.

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…

Sam Altman is a businessman. His job is to say whatever assuages his market, and that includes gaslighting you when you're disgusted by AI. If you never expected Altman to be the figurehead of principled philosophy, none of this should surprise you. Of course the startup alumni guy is going to project maligned expectations in the hopes of being a multi-trillion dollar company. The shareholders love that shit, Altman…

To be clear I'm not disgusted by AI in general, I'm disgusted by short form video and AI/ML in service of dopamine reward loop hacking.

That dragon flew backwards at one point didnt it.

Impressive that THAT was one of the issues to find, given where we were at the start of the year.

It's obvious there is no way OpenAI can keep videos generated by this within their ecosystem. Everything will be fake, nothing real. We are going to have to change the way we interact with video. While it's obviously possible to fake videos today, it takes work by the creator and takes skill. Now it will take no skill so the obvious consequence of this is we can't believe anything we see. The worst part is we are alr…

I think that's the point... Then world coin comes to the rescue

World coin is so delightfully dystopian. You could drop it wholesale into a superhero movie and it would be believable as the supervillain’s plot.
