Re: Sora 2
#472I 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. https://www.midjourney.com/explore?tab=videos 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"…
That's one way to build a database of verified Gen AI content to help filter it out.

The Miyzaki quote is out of context, he isn't talking about generative AI but rather a 2016 animation of a creepy zombie whose limbs are controlled by AI.
While this is true, it's hard to imagine people spending years perfecting the style would be happy to see it copied effortlessly without any compensation while people who made the copying possible are rolling in cash. This is not just about copyright infringement or plagiarism. Automatically generating text, images and videos based on training data and a tiny prompt is fundamentally about taking someone's work and ma…
Don’t worry, I’m sure someone will roll up and claim that it’s just “democratization” of that style and the prompt authors exhibit as much creativity as the artists themselves.

#474I 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.
People said the exact same thing about AR furniture, and I'm 99% sure no one uses that.

#475Clicking a link on the OpenAI dashboard and beeing greeted with a full page of scandily clad women was certainly not what I expected to see when opening Sora..

This app might top the charts via hype initially but I can't see why someone would stick with it long-term compared to other alternatives. Plus creators would have to pay soon to make these videos, what are they getting back? Unless they can make money via this
Free access to openAI tools?

At that point, why even buy the clothes? Influencers will just post the video of the mockup on social media, which is the only reason they were considering it in the first place. Save themselves the foot fungus. https://xcancel.com/Naija_PR/status/1904809073356251634 Then take the next step. Why even spend money going out? Generate a video of yourself with fake friends at a party and post that, while eating ice cream…

As a gauge for how seriously I should take your critique: How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself? What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?
> How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself? 2 or 3. Mostly LLMs to check code. > What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical? Probably around 90%. So sell me. Why is this super impressive? I'm happy to admit that I'm pretty pessimistic about AI. I have an eye for continuity issues, they are pretty obvious to me. Am I just too focused on that…

#479OpenAI launches Sora 2 in a consumer app to collect RL feedback en masse and improve their world models further.
Their ultimate goal is physical AGI, although it wouldn’t hurt them if the social network takes off as well.

No, the zombie context is actually not that relevant, given he says "We as humans are losing faith in themselves" in response to the AI animation. He's clearly disgusted by the entire concept of machine generated art.
Being an animator I’d say that is not very surprising. But I don’t think the disgusting zombie thing is very indicative of it.
