We are just heading for Lovely All TM. I kid. Art should require effort. And by that I mean effort on the part of the artist. Not environmental damage. I am SO tired of non tech friends SWOONING me with some song they made in 0.3 seconds. I tell them, sarcastically, that I am indeed very impressed with their endeavors. I know many people will disagree with me here, but I would be heart broken if it turned out someone…

Advertising: you (her) wearing new clothing before purchase, hair/glasses/makeup, make overs; guys after 3 months of gym membership, you driving the new car, you in this specific new home... etc, etc... I'm surprised this is not already everywhere, but people are too occupied making nsfw and fantasy violence clips.

Targeted advertising has become just manipulation. I don't know if personalized advertisement videos for everyone promoting a fake world that doesn't exist is really a benefit for the world...

If course it's not a benefit, but it's an advertising angle that will work very well with a class of gullible consumers, and that is enough to justify it being plastered everywhere. I don't write these rules, I just notice them.

I'm sorry but that's a gross exageration. If any of this was real film then I'd start a gofundme page for OpenAI to get better video production equipment and team because that would be laughably bad. If anything, it looks a lot worse than a lot of AI-generated videos I've seen in the past, despite being a tech demo with carefully curated shots. Veo 3 just blows this out of the water for example.

It's not an exaggeration to me? I literally stopped the video and went back to the start and re-read. You're more than welcome to speak about your opinions and experiences, but I'm speaking about mine. I'm over here thinking, "It felt like just yesterday I was laughing at trippy, incoherent videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti." I love the progress we're making.

Don't worry. AI is going to be monetized and extractive in no time. Just like Social Media went from "fresh, fun and cool new tech" to "how did we let this horrible beast take hold of the world," AI will take the same path. In 10 years or sooner, when 99.99% of what you read, hear, and watch is AI slop, you're going to post "This used to be a cool invention!" if there's even a place left for humans to post by that time.

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh. That was so impressive. I had to go back to the start and confirm it said "Everything you're about to see is Sora 2" when I saw Sam do that intro. I thought there was a prologue that was native film before getting to the generated content.

It definitely doesnt look worse tbh. Its impressive stuff you cant get around that

> Concerns about doomscrolling, addiction, isolation, and RL-sloptimized feeds are top of mind—here is what we are doing about it.

> We are giving users the tools and optionality to be in control of what they see on the feed. Using OpenAI's existing large language models, we have developed a new class of recommender algorithms that can be instructed through natural language. We also have built-in mechanisms to periodically poll users on their wellbeing and proactively give them the option to adjust their feed.

So, nothing? I can see this being generated and then reposted to TikTok, Meta, etc for likes and engagement.

“With Sora 2, we are jumping straight to what we think may be the GPT‑3.5 moment for video.” I think feeling like you need to use that in marketing copy is a pretty good clue in itself both that its not, and that you don’t believe it is so much as desperately wish it would be.

I am looking at the videos and really had a feeling that it looks right (minus a lot of obvious fuck ups still) where previously something felt fundamentally wrong with ai videos. It feels somewhat important, in so far you consider ai generated videos important.

It's the skin textures. It's the slightly better lipsyncing. Maybe it will be different when us normal users get it but so far the demos with Sam don't make him look waxy.

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.

When the dust settles , that's probably going to be the most common application of these video models. Making automated social content kind of defeats the purpose; people empathize with other people, not with AI . (I guess that's why they didn't also make their interview video via AI)

But Sora /VEO will probably also revolutionize movies and tv content

I fully understand the hype but the initial scene with Sam feels nothing like how any self respecting video producer would create. The jump cuts mid-sentence are extremely jarring, certainly not framed in any traditional sense, and he's almost entirely out of focus.

Points though for the completely expressionless line delivery, it completely nailed that.

Why do you have to download an app to use Sora 2 (vs it being available on the web like ChatGPT)?

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…

I wrote this a year or so ago: https://www.technicalchops.com/articles/ai-goes-to-hollywood... "The studios and creators who thrive in this new landscape will be those who can effectively harness AI’s capabilities while maintaining the human creativity and vision that ultimately drives the art of cinema." It is in many ways thrilling to see this come to life, and I couldn't agree with you more.

> "The studios and creators who thrive in this new landscape will be those who can effectively harness AI’s capabilities while maintaining the human creativity and vision that ultimately drives the art of cinema."

..Just somehow several years on, these optimistic statements still all end up being in the future tense, somehow for all the supposed greatness and benefits, we still dont see really valuable outputs. A lot of us do not want more of the "CONTENT" as envisioned by corporate ghouls who want their employees or artists to "thrive" (another word kidnapped by LinkedIn-Linguists). The point is not in the speed and easiness of generation of outputs, visual and sound effects etc. The point is the artists interpretation and their own vision, impressions etc. Not a statistical slop which "likely" fits my preferences (i.e. increases my dopamin levels).
