This access code is "no longer available" :(

Check the browser console. The endpoint is returning 429 for me. So it might not even be accepting codes depending on how many you try.

But think of all the 0 legitimate use cases for this technology.

I'm a software engineer and hobbyist actor/director. My friends are in the film industry and are in IATSE and SAG-AFTRA. I've made photons-on-glass films for decades, and I frequently film stuff with my friends for festivals. I love this AI video technology. Here are some of the films my friends and I have been making with AI. These are not "prompted", but instead use a lot of hand animation, rotoscoping, and human v…

Well I was entertained. What is up with a lot of voices are left ear only?

Carter needs a new laptop. His daily driver has been falling apart for ages but he refuses to give it up.

We all told him about the sound mix - he let a couple of videos slip with a bad "mono as single-channel stereo audio" renders. On his machine it sounded normal. He got flack for that, and he's been hearing this for months.

I'm going to show him this thread. I don't think he'll ever forget to check again.

Despite that, he's a really talented guy. Chalk this up as a bad production deploy. We didn't want to delete and re-upload since the videos had legs when we first released them. There's a checklist now.

I wonder if they're going to license this to brands for heavily personalized advertisement. Imagine being able to see videos of yourself wearing clothes you're buying online before you actually place the order, instead of viewing them on a model. If they got the generation "live" enough, imagine walking past a mirror in a department store and seeing yourself in different clothes. Wild times.

I'm fairly certain there is a scene in Minority Report just like this! Or at least, the advertisement says Tom Cruise's character's name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_(film)

Here a clip of that scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bXJ_obaiYQ

sign languages are completely different languages from spoken languages, with their own grammar etc. subtitles can work but it's basically a second language. perhaps comparable to many countries where people speak a dialect that's very different from the "standard" written language. this is why you sometimes have sign language interpreters at events, rather than just captions. there's not really a widely accepted wri…

>this is why you sometimes have sign language interpreters at events, rather than just captions. No, the reason is because a) it's in real time, and b) there's no screen to put the subtitles on. If it was possible to simply display subtitles on people's vision, that would be much more preferable, because writing is a form of communication more people are familiar with than sign language. For example, someone might no…

if you're maximizing accessibility you'd have both. often in broadcasts with closed captioning, there will also be a video of the sign language interpreter.

If this is anything near the demo they have been released, this seems incredibly good at physics. Wow. Can't wait to try the new app.

Kling 2.5 is already pretty good at physics

I don't expect Sora2 to be SOTA. The Chinese models are further ahead in video/image gen

Adding to the list: The Adventures of Reemo Green. Very funny, and the first time I’ve watched AI video and enjoyed it as more than a technical curiosity.

sorry but it's funny that you mention "heart and soul" while sharing some of the most soulless videos i've ever seen.
