Why are all the example videos in slow motion?

#512So what happens to the film industry now?
- Local/Bespoke high quality video content creation by ordinary Joes: Check. - Ordinary joes making fake porn videos for money: Check. - Reduce cost for real movies dramatically by editing in AI scenes: Check.
A whole industry will get upturned.

#513Has 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…
They swap multiple times lol. Not to mention it almost always looks like the feet are slightly sliding on the ground with every step. I mean there are some impressive things there, but it looks like there's a long ways to go yet. They shouldn't have played it into the close up of the face. The face is so dead and static looking.
certainly not perfect... but "some impressive things" is an understatement, think of how long it took to get halfway decent CGI... this AI thing is already better than clips I've seen people spend days building by hand
Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#514It's impressive, but I think it's still in the same category as even the best LLMs: the demos look good and they can be quite useful, but you can never quite trust them. You really can't just have an LLM write a whole report for you - who knows what facts it'll make up, what it'll miss? You really can't use this to generate video for work, who knows where the little artifacts are (it's easier to tell with video). The…
I subscribe to Disney+ and some of the content is a lot less perfect than the Sora videos presented there.

#515I 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).
Wow. If I saw this clip a year ago I wouldn't think, "The image generator fucked up," I'd just think that a CG effects artist deliberately tweaked an existing real-world video.
Yeah, if that gets cleaned up (one would expect it to in time), this is going to change a lot.

#516Does 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?
Not worried, I trust in my taste. I still haven't seen anything made by AI that moved me. I'm buying physical books written before AI was a thing, backing up music and film. Visiting concerts and museums. The information and experience in my head will become more rare and valuable compared to the AI slop that will soon permiate everything. Oh your model is trained on the billion most read online texts in the english language? cute. I'm pulling inspiration from places that aren't captured by any model.
Most of my programming job is tightly coupled with the business processes and logistics of the company I work for, AI will not replace me there.
Also I'm not convinced this is sustainable, I'm thinking this will be like GCI where the first iron man film looked phenomenal but where huge demand + the drive to make it profitable will drive down the quality to just above barely acceptable levels like the CGI in current marvel blockbusters.

If I understand trial law correctly, the rules of evidence already prohibit introducing a video at trial without proving where it came from (for example, testimony from a security guard that a given video came from a given security camera).
But social media has no rules of evidence. Already I see AI-generated images as illustrations on many conspiracy theory posts. People's resistance to believing images and videos from sketchy sources is going to have to increase very fast (especially for images and videos that they agree with).

> The future of these high-fidelity (but not perfect) generative AI systems is in realizing we're going to need "humans in the loop"
Last weekend my 7 year old decided he wanted to make and sell a shirt with an image of a space cat shooting a laser gun. It took him like 1 minute to use free Dalle3 to make and choose an image. Then I showed him a website to remove the background. Then I showed him a tool to AI-upscale the image. Then we uploaded it to Amazon Merch, it got approved after a few hours, and now it's for sale on Amazon. It took us maybe 10 minutes of effort end-to-end. Involved no artists.
Funny enough, Amazon is full of AI-designed merch, there were like 7 pages of shirts with space cats with lasers.

Why should we always take the pessimistic viewpoint? Think of all the beautiful things that can be built with something like that. All the tutorials that could be created for any given subject. All the memories that could be relived. Upload a photo with your grandparents, give it context, and see them laughing and playing with you as a toddler. Feed it your favorite book and let it make a movie out of it. I mean, fuck me, the possibilities are endless. I don’t feel depressed. I feel blessed to be able to live in an era when all these marvelous things materialize. This is the stuff we read in science fiction decades ago.
Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#520RE worrying about the future: what concerns me most is post-truth reality. Being thrown into a world where it's impossible to tell fact from fiction is insane and dangerous. Just thinking about it evokes paranoia.
We're nowhere near full-automation, these are growing pains, but maybe the canary in the goldmine for the job market. Expect more enthusiasm for UBI or negative tax and the like and policies to follow. Cheap energy is also coming eventually, just slower.
