Website doesn't work on Firefox and videos don't play on Edge. They should consider asking the AI to make a correct website before having it make hippos swim.

The entire page load is completely broken on Edge for me. Bizarre

All the vids have that instantly recognizable GenAI "sheen", for the lack of a better word. Also, I think the most obvious giveaway are all the micro-variations that happen along the edges, which give a fuzzy artifact.

Yeah but... it's good enough?

There were movies with horrible VFX that still sold perfectly well at the time.

Any chance of this being released open weights? Or is the risk of bad PR too high (especially near a US election)? It being 30B gives me hope.

That and the NFSW finetunes that will inevitably follow; unlike the text-gen finetunes these could really cause trouble with deepfakes.

Impressive.

It's only going to get better, faster, cheaper, easier.[a]

Sooner than anyone could have expected, we'll be able to ask the machines: "Turn this book into a two-hour movie with the likeness of [your favorite actor/actress] in the lead role."

Sooner than anyone could have expected, we'll be able to have immersive VR experiences that are crafted to each person.

Sooner than anyone could have expected, we won't be able to identify deepfakes anymore.

We sure live in interesting times!

It works fine for me on Firefox on Linux, weird.

I wonder how much RLHF or other human tweaking of the models contributes to this sort of overstauration / excess contrast in the first place. The average consumer seems to prefer such features when comparing images/video, and use it as a heuristic for quality. And there have been some text-to-image comparisons of older gen models to newer gen, purporting that the older, more hands-off models didn't skew towards kitschy and overblown output the way newer ones do.

Some of these look really obviously bad, like the guy spinning the fire and the girl running along the beach. And it completely failed at the bubbles

doesn't need to be movie quality, just needs to be tiktok quality and this totally passes the bar.

Are you ready to become a penguin in all of your posts to maximise aquatic engagement? I am.

I don't think that's a bug. I think that helps us separate truth from fiction as we navigate the transition to this new world.
