Watching these made me think, I'm going to want to go to the theatre a lot more in the future and see fellow humans in plays, lectures and concerts. Such achievements in technology must lead to cultural change. Look at how popular vinyl has become, why not theatre again.
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?
We've fairly quickly moved from a world where AIs would communicate with each other through text to one in which they can do so through video.
I'm very curious how something like Sora might end up being used to generate synthetic training data for multimodal models...
Many might miss the key paragraph at the end: "Sora serves as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a capability we believe will be an important milestone for achieving AGI." This also helps explain why the model is so good since it is trained to simulate the real world, as opposed to imitate the pixels. More importantly, its capabilities suggest AGI and general robotics could be cl…
What I want is an AI trained to simulate the human body, allowing scientists to perform artificial human trials on all kind of medicines. Cutting trial times from years to months.

*Edit* Oh, I just read here (https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1armmng/d_...) that a technical paper should be released later today?
Has 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…
I noticed at the beginning that cars are driving on the right side of the road, but in Japan they drive on the left. The AI misses little details like that. (I'm also not sure they've ever had a couple inches of snow on the ground while the cherry blossoms are in bloom in Tokyo, but I guess it's possible.)

Industrialisation and computers/automation took away massive amount of jobs while globally improving people lives, this may possibly (maybe not) do the same.
If in the future, anybody can write the book, create a photograph or a motion picture or an music album with just few words describing what they have in mind, this will be a tremendous productivity improvement and will unleash an overflow of human creativity.
I like to compare it to what Jobs said about computer, they are the "bicycle of the mind" [1].

Open-source will catch up in I am a PM, and switched to becoming a builder. Enjoy learning, keep building. What people take time to realize is that building things is a habit. As you combine that with ongoing learning, you will enjoy the process and eventually build something to earn a living.

These advancements are just the next step in that evolution. The tech used in movies will be commoditized, and you'll see Hollywood-style production in YouTube videos.
I'm not sure why you think theater will become _more_ popular because of this. It has remained popular throughout the years, as technology comes and goes. People can enjoy both video and theater, no?
