Is it just me or do all these models generate everything in a weird pseudo-slow motion framerate?
Better than the opposite. You can always skip frames to get the normal speed. But motion interpolation never looks good to me.

#182A page with a bunch of videos struggles to scroll on iphone and crashes the browser for me. Google actively punches through rock bottom with its frontend teams.
Re: Veo 2: Our video generation model
#183It's interesting they host these videos on YouTube, cause it signals they're fine with AI generated content. I wonder if Google forgets that the creators themselves are what makes YouTube interesting for viewers.
What makes you think that viewers wouldn't be watching AI generated content? Considering the possibilities of fake videos, I'm sure that it can be very engaging. And the costs are zero.
The costs are not zero. I recently generated a short AI video for my son in Runway Act One. That $15 balance evaporated in like 6 prompts.
Of course, it's orders of magnitude cheaper than making a video or an animation yourself.

#184Impressive but the page crashed chrome on my iPad!
Might be time for a new iPad. My old-school iPad Air has 2gb of memory and is an absolute hog when loading content-heavy websites.
This site is not content-heavy, it’s less than a bunch of videos, pictures and text. This site was just done by useless jokes not worth their money.

#185Judging by how they've been trying to ram AI into YouTube creators workflows I suppose it's only a matter of time before they try to automate the entire pipeline from idea, to execution, to "engaging" with viewers. It won't be good at doing any of that but when did that ever stop them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26QHXElgrl8 https://x.com/surri01/status/1867433782992879617
Who needs viewers anyway? Automate the whole thing. I just see the endgame for the internet is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
They already do that. 90% of cheerful top comments on some channels are clearly generated. They never mention content (yet) and are abstract as hell. “Very useful video, thanks”, “I’m watching this every day, love the content” and so on. It’s unclear if they have a real view count either, at least in promotion phase.

#186With unfettered access to video training data from YouTube this isn’t all surprising they can get be better than what OpenAI has with Sora. Not sure how they will respond
Re: Veo 2: Our video generation model
#187Superficially impressive but what is the actual use case of the present state of the art? It makes 10-second demos, fine. But can a producer get a second shot of the same scene and the same characters, with visual continuity? Or a third, etc? In other words, can it be used to create a coherent movie --even a 60-second commercial -- with multiple shots having continuity of faces, backgrounds, and lighting? This quote…
You blend them and extend the videos and then you connect enough for a 2 min short
Re: Veo 2: Our video generation model
#188My theory as to why all the bigtech companies are investing so much money in video generation models is simple: they are trying to eliminate the threat of influencers/content creators to their ad revenue. Think about it, almost everyone I know rarely clicks on ads or buys from ads anymore. On the other hand, a lot of people including myself look into buying something advertised implicitly or explicitly by content cre…
> Think about it, almost everyone I know rarely clicks on ads or buys from ads anymore. I remember saying this to a google VP fifteen years ago. Somehow people are still clicking on ads today.
Sometimes it feels like we could solve most of the world’s problems by simply finding all those people and giving them a good talk. Cause I know that even stupid ads may work, on you, on me, on someone else, simply by mentioning brand existence. But clicking on ads equals to signing your own stupidity in my book. It must be not more than a few per thousand. Maybe the world is so big that even 0.1% is enough?

#189I got access to the preview, here's what it gave me for "A pelican riding a bicycle along a coastal path overlooking a harbor" - this video has all four versions shown: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2024/pelicans-on-bic... Of the four two were a pelican riding a bicycle. One was a pelican just running along the road, one was a pelican perched on a stationary bicycle, and one had the pelican wearing a weird…
There's another important contender in the space: Hunyuan model from Tencent My company (Nim) is hosting Hunyuan model, so here's a quick test (first attempt) at "pelican riding a bycicle" via Hunyuan on Nim: https://nim.video/explore/OGs4EM3MIpW8 I think it's as good, if not better than Sora / Veo
Reddit says it is much better than Sora. Are you hosting the full version of Nunyuan? (Your video looks great.)

Yeah but I’m sure they crushed Leetcode exercises
