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…
$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.

This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.
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…
It doesn't matter if they're cherrypicked when you can't match this quality with SD or Pika regardless of how much time you had.
Countdown to when studios licensing this for "unlimited" episodes of your favorite series. There was Seinfeld "Nothing, Forever" AI parody, but once the models improve enough and are cheap enough to deploy, studios will license their content for real and just have endless seasons. Or even custom episodes. Imagine if every episode of a TV show was unique to the viewer.
I'm not sure there would be much demand for purely custom/individualized episodes beyond the novelty and maybe for fun with a group of friends. Most of the reason people watch TV or movies is for the shared experience that you can discuss with others. It could definitely drive down production costs though, hopefully HBO uses it to eventually redo Game of Thrones post season 4

That's an interesting take - podcasts have become a replacement for companionship and conversation.
That's what Twitch has become too. The most popular Twitch streamers do nothing other than watching YouTube videos and providing a fake relationship to their 50,000 live viewers.

AAPL is 2.8T now, how is it 2300x AAPL equals to 7T.
This is the second time OpenAI has released something right at the same time as google did (Gemini 1.5 Pro with 10M token context length just now). Can't just be a coincidence
No mention of how much they had to cherry pick right? Interested to know what the success rate of such amazingmess Pika have really impressive videos on their homepage that are borderline impossible to make for myself.
https://openai.com/sora?video=big-sur In this video, there's extremely consistent geometry as the camera moves, but the texture of the trees/shrubs on the top of the cliff on the left seems to remain very flat, reminiscent of low-poly geometry in games. I wonder if this is an artifact of the way videos are generated. Is the model separating scene geometry from camera? Maybe some sort of video-NeRF or Gaussian Splatti…
