it seems like this is basically youtube's ContentID, but for your face. as long as you upload your "cameo" aka facial scan to them, they can recognize and control the generation of videos with it. if you don't give them your face, then they can't/won't.

If this company's guardrails end up sufficiently working well in practice (note phrases like "intended", "take measures", and "preferences...requested", on things they can't do 100%)... there will be weak links elsewhere, letting similar computation be performed without sufficiently effective guardrails against abuse? How do we prepare for this? Societal adjustment only (e.g., disbelieving defamatory video, accepting…

Basically deepfakes for everyone.

Honestly this is the safest possible outcome. If Deepfakes remain the tools of nation state actors, laypeople will be easily fooled. If Deepfakes are available on your iPhone and within TikTok, everyone will just ask "Is it Photoshop?" for every shred of doubt. (In fact, I already see people saying, "This looks like AI".) This is good. Normalize the magic until it isn't magic anymore. People will get it. They're smar…

> People will get it. They're smart. They just need exposure.

It's either this, or the opposite (eg, misinformation needs to be censored). Seems like we as a society can't quite make up our mind on which approach to take.

This makes me less excited about the future of video, not more. It's technically impressive, but all so very soulless. When everything fake feels real, will everything real feel fake?

Truly wonder if there will be some kind of renaissance in the video making domain when all settles down and this becomes the new normal.

I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here: It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role. The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus. Genera…

That's a direct copy of what Midjourney has done already.

Many people are just playing with images and the distinctive styles that Midjourney (the model) seems to have developed. It's also trained by ratings and people's interactions.

When you make images you can dial down the "aesthetic".

You need to be in the US/Canada and wait for this notification, and when you get an invite you can start using it in the app and on sora.com.

It's wild that I have a paid account but I have to scour the Internet to find someone else with a paid account and beg them for an invite code to use the product I already paid for. Make it make sense.

One thing that would make sense is for you to not pay any more.

But if you do, that signals to the company this is all perfectly okay.

I posit this is the real story. OpenAI did not stealthily release Sora 2 to the image and video ELO ranking leaderboards ahead of time as is now somewhat tradition. This model is probably designed to run fast and cheap as a social play. Emphasis on putting you and your friends into popular franchises and IPs. OpenAI probably has a totally different model for their Hollywood-grade VFX. One that's too expensive to offe…

Why would I want to watch any of this?

You might not want to. It's definitely not appealing to me in any way shape or form.

The younger generations however will likely gobble it right up. I try not to judge because folks said the same thing about Nintendo when I was young.

What makes TikTok fun is seeing actual people do crazy stuff. Sora 2 could synthesize someone hitting five full-court shots in a row, but it wouldn’t be inspiring or engaging. How will this be different than music-generating AI like Suno, which doesn't have widespread adoption despite incredible capabilities?

It's hard to believe, but some people enjoy. On the other hand, some popular content on TikTok is probably worse than AI generated content and that's another problem...

How much are they (and providers of similar tools) going to be able to keep anyone from putting anyone else in a video, shown doing and saying whatever the tool user wants?

Basically deepfakes for everyone.

Ah the great trade off that comes with little to no regulation.

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.

Am I misremembering or didn't Meta announce few months ago that people will see their own faces in ads?
