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…
Apple Vision Pro VR + unlimited, addicting... I mean, engaging video feed into your eyes. The machines will keep you tube fed and your bowels emptied. Woe to the early 21st century techno-optimism. An alien intelligence rules the galaxy now. Welcome to the simulation.
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…
"How many multi-million-dollar funded startups did this just absolutely obsolete?" The play with AI isn't to build the tools to help businesses make money, the play is to directly build the businesses that makes the money.

The Sora demos are more interesting.

$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.
If (the best) AI adds 10% to that, $7T is not only possible but a bargain.

This is the stuff of Brave New World. It's happening to us in real time.
