Well, as a counterpoint, Apple did become a $2 trillion dollar company... Distortion is easiest when the products really work. :)
Apple got up to $3 trillion back in 2023.
Made an album in 10 mins. Typically as a techno DJ I'd mix them together so they sound kinda bare right now. Here's my 10 minutes to 12:09 album debut: https://on.soundcloud.com/FAXkJrLrC2JjoAyu7

We have to take account that this community (good chunk have stakes in YC and a lot to gain from secondary shares in OpenAI) and platform is going to favor its own and be aware that Sam Altman is the golden boy of YC's founder after all. So of course you are going to see snarky comments and straight up denial in the competition. We saw that yesterday in the comments with the release of GPT4o in anticipation of Gemini…
The amount of copium in this response is astounding. Yes, there is a noticeable negative response from HN towards Google, and there has always been especially when speaking about their weird product management practices and incentives. Google hasn't launched any notable (and still surviving, Stadia being a sad example of this) consumer product or service in the last 10 years. But to suggest there is a Sam Altman / Op…
None of this is surprising to me and shouldn't shock you. You are literally on a site called Ycombinator. Had this been another platform without ties to investments or drawing from crowd that actively seeks to enrich themselves through participation in a narrative, this wouldn't even be a thing.
Large number of people who read my comment seems to agree and this whole worldcoin thing seems to me just another distraction (We've already been through why that was shady but we are talking about something different here).

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.
An interesting thing that Google does is to watermark the AI generated videos using the [SynthID technology]( https://deepmind.google/technologies/synthid/ ). It seems that the SynthID is not only for AI generated video but for image, text and audio.
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…
Not just that, but anything with a subject in it felt uncanny valleyish... like that cowboy clip, the gate of the horse stood out as odd and then I gave it some attention . It seems like a camel's gate. And whole thing seems to be hovering, gliding rather than walking. Sora indeed seems to have an advantage

From a filmmaking standpoint I still don't think this is impactful. For that it needs a "director" to say: "turn the horse's head 90˚ the other way, trot 20 feet, and dismount the rider" and "give me additional camera angles" of the same scene. Otherwise this is mostly b-roll content. I'm sure this is coming.
That said, I personally think the solution will not be coming that soon, but at the same time, we'll be seeing a LOT more content that can be done using current tools, even if that means a dip in quality (severely) due to the cost it might save.

I would like a bit more convincing that the text watermark will not be noticeable. AI text already has issues with using certain words to frequently. Messing with the weights seems like it might make the issue worse
> Veo's cutting-edge latent diffusion transformers reduce the appearance of these inconsistencies, keeping characters, objects and styles in place, as they would in real life. How is this achieved? Is there temporal memory between frames?
