What is the endgame? Why is OpenAI throwing that much money on image/video generation? Is there a profitable market for AI-generated image slop? Do people choose ChatGPT instead of Gemini/Grok/Claude because of the image generation capabilities? To me, it looks like a huge fiery money pit.

The endgame is to make money during the hype and then cash out before it crashes.

> how do I make (at least) new content protected? Air gap. If you don’t want content to be used without your permission, it never leaves your computer. This is the only protection that works. If you want others to see your content, however, you have to accept some degree of trade off with it being misappropriated. Blatant cases can be addressed the same as they always were, but a model overfitting to your original wo…
Horror scenario: Big IP holders will go nuclear on IP licensing to an extent we've never seen before. Right now, there are thousands of images and videos of Star Wars, Pokemon, Superman, Sonic, etc. being posted across social media. All it takes is for the biggest IP conglomerates to turn into linear tv and sports networks of the past and treat social media like cable. Disney: "Gee {Google,Meta,Reddit,TikTok}, we see…

The next step is to take this beyond AI generations and to license rights to characters and IP on social media directly.
The next salvo will be where YouTube has to take down all major IP-related content if they don't pay a licensing fee. Regardless of how it was created. Movie reviews, fan animations, video game let's plays.
I've got a strong feeling that day is coming soon.
I still use Midjourney, because all of these major players are so bad at stylistic and creative work. They're singularly focused on photorealism.
We're seeing AI get better at both creative tasks (images) and operational tasks (clicking through websites).
For anyone building AI agents: the security model is still the hard part. Prompt injection remains unsolved even with dedicated security LLMs.
Okay results are in for GenAI Showdown with the new gpt-image 1.5 model for the editing portions of the site! https://genai-showdown.specr.net/image-editing Conclusions - OpenAI has always had some of the strongest prompt understanding alongside the weakest image fidelity. This update goes some way towards addressing this weakness. - It's leagues better at making localized edits without altering the entire image's ae…

I edited the original "Lord of War" poster with a reference image of Jensen and replaced bullets with GPU dies, silicon wafers and electronic components.
