It's been said a thousand times, but the "open" in openai becomes more comical every day. I can't imagine how much money they will generate from such a tool, and I'm sure they will do everything possible to keep a tight lid on all the implementation details.

This product looks incredible...

This really seems like "DALL-E", but for videos. I can make cool/funny videos for my friends, but after a while the novelty wears off. All of the AI generated media has this quality where I can immediately tell that it's ai, and that becomes my dominant thought. I see these things on social media and think "oh, another ai pic" and keep scrolling. I've yet to be confused about whether something is ai generated or real…

These limitations are fine for short form content ala reels / tiktok. I think the younger generations will get used to how it looks.

In less than a few hours Gemini 1.5 is old news. Sam is doing live demos on Twitter while Google just released a blog. Didn't think Google would be the first of the Facebook, Apple, Google and Microsoft to get disrupted.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw Google as a directionless pile of money, there's a reason killedbygoogle exists.

OpenAI demonstrating the size of their moat. How many multi-million-dollar funded startups did this just absolutely obsolete? This is so, so, so much better than every other generative video AI we've seen. Most of those were basically a still image with a very slowly moving background. This is not that. Sam is probably going to get his $7T if he keeps this up, and when he does everybody else will be locked out foreve…

> 100% they would pay a lot of money to be able to hang out with Joe Rogan, or some only fans person, and those pornstars or podcasts hosts will never disagree with them, never get mad at them, never get bored of them, never thing they're a loser, etc. I think immersive games will also be a big application. Games AI will also benefit from being more strategically intelligent and from being able to negotiate, in a hum…

Yep, since at least World of Warcraft millions of people have already "opted out of life" to live in game worlds.

The thing that "The Matrix" style plots get wrong is that the machines don't need to coerce us into their virtual prisons, we will submit willingly.

I am very uncomfortable with this being released commercially without the requisite defence against misuse being also accessible. If we didn't have a problem with deepfakes, spam, misleading media before, we surely are now. All leading AI organisations are lacking here, benefiting from the tech but not sufficiently attacking the external costs that society will pay.

What's "the requisite defence"?

This is insane. But I'm impressed most of all by the quality of motion . I've quite simply never seen convincing computer-generated motion before . Just look at the way the wooly mammoths connect with the ground, and their lumbering mass feels real. Motion-capture works fine because that's real motion, but every time people try to animate humans and animals, even in big-budget CGI movies, it's always ultimately obvio…

Pixar is computer generated motion, no?
