https://openai.com/sora?video=big-sur In this video, there's extremely consistent geometry as the camera moves, but the texture of the trees/shrubs on the top of the cliff on the left seems to remain very flat, reminiscent of low-poly geometry in games. I wonder if this is an artifact of the way videos are generated. Is the model separating scene geometry from camera? Maybe some sort of video-NeRF or Gaussian Splatti…
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?
Many people, rightfully, (over-)react to the American caricature of Christianity (mega churches, Kenneth Copeland, etc.) as the definition of what it is (that's arguably the deception hinted at in the Bible), but reading/trusting the raw word—what's referred to as "sola scriptura"—is remarkably helpful in navigating what's taking place.
I think the implications go much further than just the image/video considerations. This model shows a very good (albeit not perfect) understanding of the physics of objects and relationships between them. The announcement mentions this several times. The OpenAI blog post lists "Archeologists discover a generic plastic chair in the desert, excavating and dusting it with great care." as one of the "failed" cases. But t…

Non-news: "People riding Tokyo train" - completely ordinary, tons of similar content.
News: "Archaeologists dust off a plastic chair" - bizarre, (virtually) no similar content exists.
I was super on board until I saw... the paw : https://player.vimeo.com/video/913131059?h=afe5567f31&badge=... Exciting for the potential this creates, but scary for the social implications (e.g., this will make trial law nearly impossible).

- Disruptions like this happen to every industry every now and then. Just not on the level of "Communicating with people with words, and pictures". Anduril and SpaceX disrupted defense contractors and United Launch Alliance; Someone working for a defense contractor/ULA here affected by that might attest to the feeling?
- There will be plenty of opportunity to innovate. Industries are being created right now. People probably also felt the same way when they saw HTTP on their screens the first time. So don't think your career or life's worth of work is miniscule, its just a moving target, adapt & learn.
- Devil is in the details. When a bunch of large SaaS behemoths created Enterprise software an army of contractors and consultants grew to support the glue that was ETL. A lot of work remains to be done. It will just be a more imaginative glue.

Just wait.

These huge updates are interestingly timed though - same day?
