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…

I asked GPT-5 to generate an image prompt. I asked it to use that prompt to generate an image. It was a content policy violation.

There are two completely distinct differences that jump out to me initially that I think may help justify your feelings: 1: Reading a long book demands focus on a longer timespan than scrolling TikTok, and with focusing on a single thing for a long time, we get a sense of accomplishment. I don’t know how to justify this as valuable, but for some reason I feel that it is. 2: The Song of Ice and Fire (and GoT) were con…

I think the point 2 will rub many people the wrong way (me included) though. That would make reading Fourth Wing or Twilight a more connecting experience than most classics. (Nothing inherently wrong with that, but... you know...)

If you've read the classics, then you will likely find a circle you can connect too. I've gone through "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" and it's a signal to know who are truly in epic military fantasy.

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. The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus. Genera…

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.

So what's the point? We built a machine which is only capable of letting people stop having to imagine things?

I wonder if they're going to license this to brands for heavily personalized advertisement. Imagine being able to see videos of yourself wearing clothes you're buying online before you actually place the order, instead of viewing them on a model. If they got the generation "live" enough, imagine walking past a mirror in a department store and seeing yourself in different clothes. Wild times.

I feel like the main problem with buying clothes online is there is no way to tell if they are actually good or fit right. The photos are all fake where it's just an image projected on a stock photo of someone in a shirt. Doesn't tell you what the material is like, doesn't tell you if it actually fits (an AI video model is just making up the fit).

This is a step towards a constant stream of hyper-personalised AI generated content optimised for max dopamine.

Kids will go to School V2 and have absolutely nothing in common to talk about because each one will have completely unique media entertainment at home.

They can just sit in the corner with their meta glasses and talk to their LLM friends.

I'm a software engineer and hobbyist actor/director. My friends are in the film industry and are in IATSE and SAG-AFTRA. I've made photons-on-glass films for decades, and I frequently film stuff with my friends for festivals. I love this AI video technology. Here are some of the films my friends and I have been making with AI. These are not "prompted", but instead use a lot of hand animation, rotoscoping, and human v…

Creative people with ambition and limited resources make good things today without this technology. All this does is accelerate the rate at which low quality "content" is produced by people that have no interest in learning a craft, without attribution and without compensation for the people that have made the effort and whose works train these models.

Now, creative people with ambition and limited resources have a new, powerful tool.

This will also be used to create great content.

Sounds about as plausible as "ironically taking heroin". > Nobody's going to get their news from Sora because it's literally 100% fake. I'm with Neal Stephenson ("Fall", in this case) on this prediction, although I really hope I'm wrong.

That said… does anyone have an invite code?

Would also love an invite code if anyone has one.

The classics were classic because they were the most available and the most popular stories of their time, and they meant more in an era where creating and disseminating media was difficult. I love to romanticize a world where we go back to the classics to connect with our past and present better, even if just for the sake of efficiency. For better or for worse media is more ephemeral which means getting to a common…

Welcome to the future, where the notion of "classics" is just a point in the memetic information manifold:

These videos are a very impressive engineering feat. There are a lot of uses for this capability that will be beneficial to society, and in the coming years people will come up with more good uses nobody today has thought of yet. But clearly we also see some major downsides. We already have an epidemic of social media rotting people's minds, and everything about this capability is set to supercharge these trends. Ope…

> There are a lot of uses for this capability that will be beneficial to society Are there? “A lot” of them? Please name a few that will be more beneficial than the very obvious detrimental uses like “making up life-destroying lies about your political opponents or groups of people you want to vilify” or “getting away with wrongdoing by convincing the judge a real video of yourself is a deepfake”. That last one has a…

It can generate funny videos of bald JD Vance and Harry Potter characters for TikTok. Which makes me wonder, what is the actual plan to make money off these models? Billions have been invested but the only thing they seem to be capable of is shitposting and manipulation. Where is the money going to come from?

Don't worry, they will always have new Minecraft mobs and biomes to discuss.

Interesting idea, online gaming becoming the de facto new societal community meeting space.
