This looks really good for promo videos. All scenes in here are basically that.

The endgame of that is that people will leave.

I'm somewhat surprised people still watch YouTube with the horrible recommendations and non-stop spam

We have to take account that this community (good chunk have stakes in YC and a lot to gain from secondary shares in OpenAI) and platform is going to favor its own and be aware that Sam Altman is the golden boy of YC's founder after all. So of course you are going to see snarky comments and straight up denial in the competition. We saw that yesterday in the comments with the release of GPT4o in anticipation of Gemini…

> platform is going to favor its own and be aware that Sam Altman is the golden boy of YC's founder I don’t know if there is a sentiment analysis tool for HN, but I’m pretty sure it’s been dead negative for Altman since at least Worldcoin.

A land of contrasts, etc.

I've never had to click "Sign in" so many times in a row.

...and then fill out an actual google form at the end, _after_ you've already signed in, to be added to the waitlist :sigh:

...and enter your email into the form again despite being logged into a Google account.

I think we should all take a pause and just appreciate the amazing work Google, OpenAI, MS and many others including those in academia have done. We do not know if Google or OpenAI or someone else is going to win the race but unlike many other races, this one makes the entire humanity move faster. Keep the negativity aside and appreciate the sweat and nights people have poured into making such things happen. Majority of these people are pretty ordinary folks working for a salary so they can spend their time with their families.

From a filmmaking standpoint I still don't think this is impactful.

For that it needs a "director" to say: "turn the horse's head 90˚ the other way, trot 20 feet, and dismount the rider" and "give me additional camera angles" of the same scene. Otherwise this is mostly b-roll content.

I'm sure this is coming.

I don't know how more people don't talk about the 1M context tokens. While the output is mediocre for cutting edge models, you can context stuff the ever living hell out of it for some pretty amazing capabilities. 2M tokens is even crazier.

It is pretty amazing. I've been using it every day. I do wish you could easily upload an entire repo into it though.

Have it write a program to output a repo as a flat file.
