Not nearly as impressive as Sora. Sora was impressive because the clips were long and had lots of rapid movement since video models tend to fall apart when the movement isn't easy to predict. By comparison, the shots here are only a few seconds long and almost all look like slow motion or slow panning shots cherrypicked because they don't have that much movement. Compare that to Sora's videos of people walking in rea…

I can't wait to see any weights.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Ha, here's an archive from yesterday for posterity. https://web.archive.org/web/20240513050023/https://openai.co... They also just added a link to the making-of video.

If you modified something because it got some attention on HN, at least have the guts to own up to it :/

Objectively speaking (if people would be honest with themselves), both are just decent at best. I think comparing them now is probably not that useful outside of this AI hype train. Like comparing two children. A lot can happen. The bigger message I am getting from this is it's clear OpenAI won't have a super AI monopoly.

I’m fairly certain Google just has a big stack of these in storage but never released, or the moment someone pulls ahead it’s all hands on deck to make the same thing.

I’ve noticed that a lot of the commentary of these models creates the sort of fervor like politics or sports. In any case - no details on compute needed. Curious if this ever can be cheap. Even Midjourney still requires a lot. I’m also surprised there hasn’t been some attempt at creating benchmarks for this. One example could be color accuracy.

I hate to be so cynical, but I'm dreading the inevitable flood of AI generated video spam. We really are about this close to infinite jest. Imagine TikTok's algorithm with on demand video generation to suit your exact tastes. It may erase the social aspect, but for many users I doubt that would matter too much. "Lurking" into oblivion.

It's already here. There are communities forming around generating passive income from mass producing AI videos as tiktoks and shorts.

What's the subreddit?

A commercially available tool that can turn still images into depth-conscious panning shots is still tremendously impactful across all sorts of industries, especially tourism and hospitality. I’m really excited to see what this can do.
