The signs are non-sensical but this is probably expected.

#52I do wonder why OpenAI chose the name "Sora" for this model. AI is now going to have intersectionality with Kingdom Hearts. (Atleast you don't need a PhD to understand AI.)
I’m confused as well because "sora" means "sister" in Neapolitan.

#53Yeah, you just can't let all media, all the cost and hard work of millions of photographers, animators, filmmakers, etc be completely consumed and devalued by one company just because it's a very cool technical trick. The more powerful these services become the more obvious that will be. What OpenAI does is amazing, but they obviously cannot be allowed to capture the value of every piece of media ever created — it'll…
The creators who create media can also use these tools to create more media faster, as can novices. It's not like OpenAI literally eats the media, never to be shared with the world again.

#54Truly stunning. Waiting on the research paper, says will be published (soon). Can't wait to read on the technical details.

People on HN like to split hairs and make muddled juxtapositions about human rights and AI model capabilities. But this is something that people and governments around the world would have to reckon with very quickly, since the rate at which generative AI technology is advancing, there could be hundreds of millions of people who’re unemployed and have no way to find work.
The quickest way to address this would be an extremely high tax rate on any generative AI model, say 500%, while the government figures out what’s the best way to sustain an economy (such as UBI) with a diminishing set of consumers as more people are pushed towards unemployment.

#56This is insane. Even though there are open-source models, I think this is too dangerous to release to the public. If someone would've uploaded that Tokyo video to youtube, and told me it was a drone.. I would've believed them.
All "proof" we have can be contested or fabricated.

#57Apple Vision Pro VR + unlimited, addicting... I mean, engaging video feed into your eyes. The machines will keep you tube fed and your bowels emptied. Woe to the early 21st century techno-optimism. An alien intelligence rules the galaxy now. Welcome to the simulation.

#58This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.
Agreed. It's amazing how much of a head start OpenAI appears to have over everyone else. Even Microsoft who has access to everything OpenAI is doing. Only Microsoft could be given the keys to the kingdom and still not figure out how to open any doors with them.
Eh. MSFT owns 49% of OpenAI. Doesn't really seem like they need to do much except support them.

"Scene-Oriented Rank Adaptation"?
I have no idea, just guessing...
Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#60No mention of how much they had to cherry pick right?
Interested to know what the success rate of such amazingmess
Pika have really impressive videos on their homepage that are borderline impossible to make for myself.
