Obviously incredibly cool, but it seems that people are incredibly overstating the applications of this. Realistically, how do you fit this into a movie, a TV show, or a game? You write a text prompt, get a scene, and then everything is gone—the characters, props, rooms, buildings, environments, etc. won’t carry over to the next prompt.
Does anyone know how to handle the depression/doom one feels with these updates? Yes, it's a great technical achievement, but I just worry for the future. We don't have good social safety nets, and we aren't close to UBI. It's difficult for me to see that happen unless something drastic changes. I'm also afraid of one company just having so much power. How does anyone compete?
The 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

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…
I disagree, just look at the legs of the woman in the first video. First she seems to be limping, than the legs rotate. The mammoth are totally uncanny for me as its both running and walking at the same time. Don't get me wrong, it is impressive. But I think many people will be very uncomfortable with such motion very quickly. Same story as the fingers before.
The people behind her all walk at the same pace and seem like floating. The moving reflections, on the other hand, are impressive make-believe.
Many 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…
