Did anyone else feel motion sickness or nausea watching some of these videos? In some of the videos with some panning or rotating motion, i felt some nausea like sickness effect. I guess its because some details were changing while in motion and I was unable to keep track or focus anything in particular.

Effect was stronger in some videos.

OpenAI demonstrating the size of their moat. How many multi-million-dollar funded startups did this just absolutely obsolete? This is so, so, so much better than every other generative video AI we've seen. Most of those were basically a still image with a very slowly moving background. This is not that. Sam is probably going to get his $7T if he keeps this up, and when he does everybody else will be locked out foreve…

That's an interesting take - podcasts have become a replacement for companionship and conversation.

It’s also more fuel for brain rot and toxic personalities to spread.

Most podcasters are narcissists

$7T is more than the budget of the US federal government, a third of the NASDAQ, or 2,3x AAPL market cap. Sam getting his 7T is not actually possible.

My AI idea: Civil war as a service (CWaaS) Prompt: poll worker sneakily taking ballots labeled , and throwing them in the trash.

Srsly.

We were not able to handle applications of preexisting tools for steering public sentiment, limited to static text and puppet account generation etc.

We are not handling the current generation of text and image generation, or, deepfake style transfer, or, voice cloning, etc ad nauseum.

We will not be able to handle this.

GOOD. TIMES. AHEAD.

but oh that Spatial Video NeRF generated pr0n with biometric feedback autotuning and a million token memory for what. I. like.

Yeah, you just can't let all media, all the cost and hard work of millions of photographers, animators, filmmakers, etc be completely consumed and devalued by one company just because it's a very cool technical trick. The more powerful these services become the more obvious that will be. What OpenAI does is amazing, but they obviously cannot be allowed to capture the value of every piece of media ever created — it'll…

Typical argument against technological progress "We should ban technology to stop it doing what humans can do in a fraction of time and resources".

Can see this create an explosion of new Content from aspiring Film, Story tellers and cut scenes from Game creators that previously never would have the budget or capabilities to be able to see their ideas through to creation.

Same with TV decades years ago, and radio before that. Just a different generation.

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.

This changes nothing about "proof" (i.e. "evidence", here). Authenticity is determined by trust in the source institution(s), independent verification, chains of evidence, etc. Belief is about people, not technology. Always was, always will be. Fraud is older than Photoshop, than the first impersonation, than perhaps civilization. The sky is not falling here. Always remember: fidelity and belief aren't synonyms.
