#292Absolutely insane. It's very odd where the glitches happen. Did anyone else notice in the "stylish woman ... Tokyo" clip how her legs skip-hop and then cross at 0:30 in a physically impossible way. Everything else about the clip seems so realistic, yet this is where it trips up ?
And the cat that wakes up the woman in bed, has three front paws! And that woman seems to be wearing the blanket as though they were pyjamas. Still, it's usually very hard to notice the inconsistencies -- just like the subtle inconsistencies we might see in our dreams.

#293Apple Vision Pro VR + unlimited, addicting... I mean, engaging video feed into your eyes. The machines will keep you tube fed and your bowels emptied. Woe to the early 21st century techno-optimism. An alien intelligence rules the galaxy now. Welcome to the simulation.
Imagine that but the loss function is measuring how "good" you feel via brain signals
And the AI is optimizing the video feed purely for that
What would it generate?

I would be extremely surprised if he could get past the market cap of all current corporations as an investment. That doesn't mean "no, never"[0], but I would be extremely surprised.
$7T in one go would be 6.7% of global GDP, and is approximately the combined GDP of Japan and Canada.

Indeed, though I will moderate that by analogy: it's been just over 30 years since DOOM was released, and that was followed by a large number of breathless announcements about how each game had "amazing photorealistic graphics that beat everything else" while forgetting that the same people had said the same things about all the other games released since DOOM.
Don't get me wrong: these clips are amazing. They may not be perfect, but it took me a few loops to notice the errors.
I'm sure there are people with better eyes for details than me, who will spot more errors, spot them sooner, and keep noticing them long after GenAI seems perfect to me.
But I also expect that, just as 3D games' journalism spent a long time convinced the products were perfect when they weren't, so too will GenAI journalism spend a long time convinced the products are perfect before they actually are.
[0] a sufficiently capable AI is an economic power in its own right. I previously guessed, and even with it's flaws would continue to guess, that the initial ChatGPT model was about as economically valuable to each user as an industrial placement student, and when I was one of those I was earning £1k/month (about £1.7k/month when adjusted for inflation).

#295Yeah, 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…
I don't disagree with your basic sentiment, but it's worth pointing out that, on some level, the *entirety of artificial intelligence* is not much more than a "cool technical trick."

#296Did anyone else feel motion sickness or nausea watching some of these videos? In some of the videos with some panning or rotating motion, i felt some nausea like sickness effect. I guess its because some details were changing while in motion and I was unable to keep track or focus anything in particular. Effect was stronger in some videos.
I think part of it might be the slow motion / high frame rate effect. I get this too sometimes with the Apple TV backgrounds.

Yes, the cat has three hands...

Meanwhile, I am going to take my horse and buggy down to the local blacksmith to get some work done...

#300This is impressive and amazing. I can already see a press release not too far down the road: "Our new model HoSapiens can do everything humans can do, but better. It has been specifically designed to deprecate humanity. We are working with red teamers — domain experts in areas like union busting, corporate law and counterinsurgency, plus our habitual bias, misinformation, and hateful content against AI orange team— who will be adversarially testing the model.
