Does OpenAI hang out with these kinds of features in their back pocket just waiting for a Gemeni announcement so they can wait an hour and absolutely dunk on Google?

#492Does 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?
One company having that much power is a different matter, and I address it by looking at how we can distribute GPT training through decentralized and open platforms.

#493I 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…
Facebook released something in that direction today https://ai.meta.com/blog/v-jepa-yann-lecun-ai-model-video-jo...

#494Two things are interesting:
- No audio -- that must have been hard to add, or else it would have been there.
- Spelling is still probably hard to do (the familiar DallE problem)... e.g. a video showing a car driving past a billboard with specified text.

#495Obviously 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.

Right! I keep saying, that at least we have to kickoff the process. Not even the legislative process, but convincing the public that we'll need it eventually (alternatively a whole different system worldwide, but that will be even harder). Will take a long time anyway.

#498These are insanely good, but there are still some things that just give them away (which is good, imo.) Like the Tokyo video is amazing, the reflections, etc are all great, but the gaits of people in the background and how fast they are moving is clearly off. It sticks out once you notice it. These things will obviously improve as time marches on. The fear I have has less to do with these taking jobs, but in that eve…

Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#500Has anyone else noticed the leg swap in Tokyo video at 0:14. I guess we are past uncanny, but I do wonder if these small artifacts will always be present in generated content. Also begs the question, if more and more children are introduced to media from young age and they are fed more and more with generated content, will they be able to feel "uncanniness" or become completely blunt to it. There's definitely interes…
Yep! Glad I wasn't the only one that saw that. I have a feeling THEY didn't see it or they wouldn't have showcased it.
I think they just accept it as a limitation, because it's still very technically impressive. And they hope they can smooth out those limitations.
