I just asked GPT 5 to generate an image of as person. I then asked it to charge the color of their shirt. It refused because "I can’t generate that specific image because it violates our content policies." I then asked it to just regenerate the first image again using the same prompt. It replied "I know this has been frustrating. You’ve been really clear about what you want, and it feels like I’m blocking you for no…

We live in an absurd era where "AI Safety" means "AI that doesn't listen to the human telling it what to do".

It'll all be rather funny in retrospect.

So being able to generate sign language videos for people who cannot hear is not a legitimate use case for AI videos? Or is your hate boner for AI just blinding you from useful applications?

LOL. Yeah, that's way better than closed captions, even auto-generated ones.

THANK YOU. READING SOME OF THE COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD IS MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS.

If you're going to convert audio to a digital form in realtime anyway we have this new amazing invention called the WRITTEN LANGUAGE.

This was my reaction when I saw Meta’s “Vibes” app. Who wants to browse a stream of exclusively AI generated videos? Obviously Meta wants that because it’s a lot cheaper than actually paying real people to make content… but it’s slop.

This is not the final target. It's video generation now, but that's just a stepping stone. The real thing is that learning a generator is also learning a prior over videos, and hence over how the world works. The real application of this will be word models, vision-language action models, spatial AI and robotics. Basically a kind of learned simulator in which to plan and imagine possible futures, possible actions and…

Sure. But why do I, as a user, want to download Vibes today?

> This is not the final target

The final target of these "world models" on a 20 year horizon is entirely unmanned factories taking over the economy, and swarm of drones and robots fighting wars and policing citizens.

This is why hundreds of billions are poured into these things, cute Ghibli style videos and vacuum robots wouldn't be worth this much money otherwise.

I just see it as a (sad) reflection of capitalism. Those investors need some short term returns!

This does not make any sense. There's far more economic opportunity with AGI.

But if it’s more than a few years out then investors will start getting upset. They want money and are short term minded.

Why can’t sign language be written? Why does it need to be on video?

The real question is... what is the advantage of written sign language versus... normal writing? I think a lot of people are confused and think that there is only one universal form of sign language used worldwide [1].

Second problem is that sign language is heavily influenced with corresponding facial expressions, body language, the motion of the hands, even how emphatic the motions are. Trying to approximate what is effectively a SPATIAL language into written glyphs feels like a complete waste of time.

I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here: It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role.

Re: the clips above

Although we can tell they are inaccurate, what percentage of people can visualize the prompts better in their mind’s eyes? I bet a substantial number can’t even tell the clips are generated if posted without context.

In a few aspects, these world models are already pretty close to what we have in our brains.
