I actually wonder if this will kill off the social apps and the bragging that happens. It will be flooded by people faking themselves doing the unimaginable.

This is also my thesis. The internet is going to be saturated with AI slop indiscernible from real content. Once it reaches a tipping point, there will no longer be much of a reason to consume the content at all. I think social networks that can authenticate video/photo/text content as human-created will be a major trend in a few years.

Depending on which internet you do mean, cause meta & insta are NOT THE Internet.

I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here:

It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI.

The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role.

The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus.

Generated videos are very short, with minimal controls. The only selectable option is picking between landscape and portrait mode.

There is no mention or attempt to move towards long form videos, storylines, advanced editing/controls/etc, like others in this space (eg Google Flow).

Seems like they want to turn this into AITok.

Edit: regarding accurate physics ... check out these two videos below...

To be fair, Veo fails miserably with those prompts also.

Couldn't help but mock them a little, here is a bit of fun... the prompt adherence is pretty good, at least.

NOTE: there are plenty of quite impressive videos being posted, and a lot of horrible ones also.

It's insanely impressive. At the same time, all these videos all look terrible to me. Still get extreme uncanny valley and literally makes me sick to my stomach.

Agree - leaps and bounds beyond anything I would have dreamed possible a few years ago...but... IDK, if I'm honest, the sound was way off too, not just the visuals. The music sounded detuned slightly, and the crowd noise was "crackly" etc. etc. It had a low-fidelity "quality" to it.

Personally, I feel mixed feelings. I'm impressed, but I'm not looking forward to the new "movies" that are going to litter YouTube et al generated from this.

Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.

one of the example prompts is literally: Prompt: in the style of a studio ghibli anime, a boy and his dog run up a grassy scenic mountain with gorgeous clouds, overlooking a village in the distant background

Wow that is dark, after Ghiblis staunch stance on AI. These companies and their shareholders really are complete scum in my eyes, just like AI in miltech. Not because the tech isn't super interesting but because they steal years of hard work and pain from actual artists with zero compensation - and then they brag about it in the most horrible way possible, with zero empathy. Then comes losing the little humanity left…

The Miyzaki quote is out of context, he isn't talking about generative AI but rather a 2016 animation of a creepy zombie whose limbs are controlled by AI.

I think HN is too political like this tech is clearly amazing and it’s great they shipped it there should be more props even if it’s a billion dollar company.

The main lesson I learned from the March ChatGPT image generation launch - which signed up 100 million new users in the first week - is that people love being able to generate images of their friends and family (and pets). I expect the "cameo" feature is an attempt at capturing that viral magic a second time.

The Sora 2 system card claims Sora can resist generations of "political persuasion".

Does this survive panning the camera away for 5 to 10 seconds and then back? Or basic conversation scene with the camera cutting between being located behind either speaker once every few seconds?

Basically proper working persistence of the scene.

They seem like they're low FPS videos. I wonder if they're rendering 24 FPS and it's mismatching youtube's 30 FPS and causing the weird stuttering.
