#342Many might miss the key paragraph at the end: "Sora serves as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a capability we believe will be an important milestone for achieving AGI." This also helps explain why the model is so good since it is trained to simulate the real world, as opposed to imitate the pixels. More importantly, its capabilities suggest AGI and general robotics could be cl…

If it is its not there yet. The snow in the mammoth video kind of looks like smoke, the way it rises into the air

I think it's just inherent to the problem space. Obviously it understands something about the world to be able to generate convincing depictions of it.

#344The amount of VC money in the text-to-video space that just got wiped out is impressive. Have we ever seen such fast market moves?
Pika - $55M
Synthesia - $156M
Stability AI - $173M

#346This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.
Yes, but I am stuck in their (American) view of what is consider appropriate. Not what is legal, but what they determine to be OK to produce. Good luck generating anything similar to an 80s action movie. The violence and light nudity will prevent you from generating anything.
I am guessing a movie studio will get different access with controls dropped. Of course, that does mean they need to be VERY careful when editing, and making sure not to release a vagina that appears for 1 or 2 frames when a woman is picking up a cat in some random scene.

What other likely reasons might explain the leap ahead of other significant efforts?
Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#348This 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?
With extreme amounts of man-hours to do so.

#349I 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.
I'm very uncomfortable with this technology being accessible only to a small and arbitrary subset of the population.
Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#350Yeah, you just can't let all media, all the cost and hard work of millions of photographers, animators, filmmakers, etc be completely consumed and devalued by one company just because it's a very cool technical trick. The more powerful these services become the more obvious that will be. What OpenAI does is amazing, but they obviously cannot be allowed to capture the value of every piece of media ever created — it'll…
It doesn't really matter, because if this is possible then it will not be exclusive to OpenAI for long. It's simply just something that can exist. There will be open source versions of everything lagging 1-2 years behind or something.
