I wonder what served as the dataset for the model. Videos on YouTube presumably, since messing around with the film industry would be too expensive?

#22I do wonder why OpenAI chose the name "Sora" for this model. AI is now going to have intersectionality with Kingdom Hearts. (Atleast you don't need a PhD to understand AI.)
Sora is pictures or movie (visual) in arabic!

#23> All videos on this page were generated directly by Sora without modification. I hope there is at least some cherrypicking here. This also seems like some shots fired at some of the other gen video startups

#24Yeah, 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 both tank the economy and basically halt all new creation if everything you create will be immediately financially weaponized against you, if everything you create goes immediately into the Machine that can spit out a billion variations, flood the market, and give you nothing in return.
It's the same complaint people have had with Google Search pushed to its logical conclusion: anything you create will be anonymized and absorbed. You put in the effort and money, OpenAI gets the reward.
Again, I like OpenAI overall. But everyone's got to be brought to the table on this somehow. I wish our government would be capable of giving realistic guidance and regulation on this.

#25oh man, we're going to be in The Running Man really quick.

#26Countdown 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.

#28I honestly expected video generation to get stuck at barely consistent 5 second clips without much movement for the next few years. This is the type of stuff I expected to maybe be possible towards the end of the decade. Maybe we really are still at the bottom of the S curve which is scary to think about.

#29samples look amazing , Looking forward for access, and hope they price it competitively
If we go from DALL-E 3, it won't be nowhere near competitive while they have the superior ground. Generating a high quality 1024x1024 image with costs around ~$0.002, but $0.08 on DALL-E 3 (20x more expensive per-image). For videos with very high computational needs (since each frame needs to be temporally consistent, you need huge GPUs to serve this) I'm expecting this to be so much more expensive than its competitors (Pika or SVD1.1)

#30Imagine someone combining this with the Apple Vision Pro...many people will simply opt out of reality and live in a digital world. Not that this is new, but I'll entice a lot more people than ever before.
Basically the Holodeck.
