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…

This is very impressive

But VFX isn't that big of a market by itself: Global visual effects (VFX) market size was US$ 10.0 Billion in 2023

I'm not sure about others, but I'm extremely unnerved about how OpenAI just throws these innovations out with zero foreshadowing - it's crazy how the world's potentially most life-changing company operates with the secrecy of a black military program. I really wonder what's going to come out of the company and on what timeline.

That's what's mindblowing to me

It doesn't feel like a slow incremental progress, the last AI videos I've seen were terrible

Its like suddenly a huge jump in quality

This is insane. Even though there are open-source models, I think this is too dangerous to release to the public. If someone would've uploaded that Tokyo video to youtube, and told me it was a drone.. I would've believed them. All "proof" we have can be contested or fabricated.

Weird hallucination artifacts are still giving it all away. Look closely at the train and viaduct rendering, and you can't unsee windows morphing into each other.

This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.

Yes, but I am stuck in their (American) view of what is consider appropriate. Not what is legal, but what they determine to be OK to produce. Good luck generating anything similar to an 80s action movie. The violence and light nudity will prevent you from generating anything.

It's not a particularly American attitude to be opposed to violence in media though, American media has plenty of violence.

They're trying to be all-around uncontroversial.

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…

  capture the value of every piece of media ever created
In what way does “I have a computer that can make movies” mean “I have captured the value of every piece of media ever created?” What do you mean by “value”? In my biased view, this amazing new technology couldn’t possibly be a better time to fix our insane notions of property, intellectual or otherwise
