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

Let's hold our breath. Those are specifically crafted hand-picked good videos, where there wasn't any requirement but "write a generic prompt and pick something that looks good", with no particular requirements. Which is very different from the actual process where you have a very specific idea and want the machine to make it happen. DALL-E presentation also looked cool and everyone was stoked about it. Now that we k…

Stable diffusion is not the go-to solution, it's still behind midjourney and DAllE

Obviously incredibly cool, but it seems that people are incredibly overstating the applications of this. Realistically, how do you fit this into a movie, a TV show, or a game? You write a text prompt, get a scene, and then everything is gone—the characters, props, rooms, buildings, environments, etc. won’t carry over to the next prompt.

You wait a year and they'll figure it out.

It doesn't need to replace the whole movie

You could use it for stuff like wide shots, close ups, random CG shots, rapid cut shots, stuff where you just cut to it once and don't need multiple angles

To me it seem most useful for advertising where a lot of times they only show something once, like a montage

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.

That's interesting. It made me think of a potential feature for upcoming cameras that essentially cryptographically sign their videos. If this became a real issue in the future, I could see Apple introducing it in a new model. "Now you can show you really did take that trip to Paris. When you send a message to a friend that contains a video that you shot on iPhone, they will see it in a gold bubble."

"Proof" for thousands of years was whatever was written down, and that was even easier to forge. There was a brief time (maybe 100 years at the most) where photos and videos were practically proof of something happening; that is coming to an end now, but that's just a regression to the mean, not new territory.

Hmmm. Actually I think I finally figured out why I dislike this argument, so thank you.

The important number here isn't the total years something has been true, when talking about something with sociocultural momentum, like the expectation that a recording/video is truthful.

Instead, the important number seems to me to be the total number of lived human years where the thing has been true. In the case of reliable recordings, the last hundred years with billions of humans has a lot more cultural weight than the thousands of preceding years by virtue of there having been far more human years lived with than without the expectation.

The Lagos video (https://openai.com/sora?video=lagos) is very much how my dreams unfold. One moment, I'm with my friends in a bustling marketplace, then suddenly we are no longer at the marketplace, but rather overlooking a sunset and a highway. I wonder if there are some conceptual similarities how dreams and AI video models work.

Many might miss the key paragraph at the end: "Sora serves as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a capability we believe will be an important milestone for achieving AGI." This also helps explain why the model is so good since it is trained to simulate the real world, as opposed to imitate the pixels. More importantly, its capabilities suggest AGI and general robotics could be cl…
