Interesting to see that OpenAI was successful in creating their own reality distortion spells, just like Apple's reality distortion field which has fooled many of these commenters here. It's quite early to race to the conclusion that one is better than the other when not only they are both unreleased, but especially when the demos can be edited, faked or altered to look great for optics and distortion.

Well, as a counterpoint, Apple did become a $2 trillion dollar company...

Distortion is easiest when the products really work. :)

> Veo > Sign up to try VisionFX Is it Veo or VisionFX? Is it a sign up, a trial, or a waitlist? How hard can it be to write a clear message? In the words of Don Miller, if you confuse, you lose.

From a 2014 Wired article [0]: "The average shot length of English language films has declined from about 12 seconds in 1930 to about 2.5 seconds today" I can see more real-world impact from this (and/or Sora) than most other AI tools [0] https://www.wired.com/2014/09/cinema-is-evolving/

These will be remembered as the AI wars.

Reminds me of the competition in tech in the late 80's early 90's between Microsoft and Borland, Microsoft and IBM, AMD and Intel, Word vs Wordperfect, etc.

It's a two horse race between Google and OpenAI.

Apple got up to $3 trillion back in 2023.

With so much recent focus by OpenAI/Google on AI's visual capabilities, does anyone know when we might see an OCR product as good as Whisper for voice transcription? (Or has that already happened?) I had to convert some PDFs and MP3s to text recently and was struck by the vast difference in output quality. Whisper's transcription was near-flawless, all the OCR softwares I tried struggled with formatting, missed words…

We use GPT-4o for data extraction from documents, its really good. I published a small library that does a lot of the document conversion and output parsing: https://npmjs.com/package/llm-document-ocr For straight OCR, it does work really well but at the end of the day its still not 100%

Thanks! look forward to checking this out as soon as I get home.

To Shy Kids credit they made it clear the Sora footage was heavily edited, but OpenAIs site still presents Air Head without that context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFzXwBZgB88 (posted the day after the short debuted) https://openai.com/index/sora-first-impressions (no mention of editing, nor do they link to the above making-of video)

There is now on that second link:

>The videos below were edited by the artists, who creatively integrated Sora into their work, and had the freedom to modify the content Sora generated.
