> You have to explicitly opt into sharing your likeness with permission controls. Ok... how is that supposed to work? I don't have an OpenAI account, there are no permission controls for me. Someone else could easily upload a picture of me, no?
No, you have to register yourself with a video where you're required to say a unique code. So unless you've posted a video of yourself online saying every number from 1 to 99 they won't be able to copy your likeness
It’s not like making a video of someone saying a number, given a single photo and any voice sample is a very difficult problem today. We can just fast-forward a few weeks into a world where this „registration“ is already broken.

The logic is that if they don't do it then Meta or some other company will & they have decided it's better that they do it b/c they are the better, more righteous, & moral people. But the main issue is I don't understand how they went from solving general intelligence to becoming an ad sponsored synthetic media company without anyone noticing.

#74Is this a roundabout way to say that they've realised that people are using their service to make porn of celebrities and fictional characters in the entertainment industry, and aim to figure out a way to keep making money from it without involving "rightsholders" in scandals?
Re: Sora Update #1
#75It is already illegal to use images in somebody's likeness for commercial purposes or purposes that harm their reputation, could be confusing, etc... Basically the only times you could use these images are for some parodies, for public figures, and fair use. Now, the OpenAI will be lecturing their own users, while expecting them to make them rich. I suspect, the users will find it insulting. Generation for personal u…

#76I don't understand some parts of this, the writing doesn't seem to flow logically from one thought to another. > Second, we are going to have to somehow make money for video generation. People are generating much more than we expected per user, and a lot of videos are being generated for very small audiences. > We are going to try sharing some of this revenue with rightsholders who want their characters generated by…

Oh we all noticed, but this is a new level of entrepreneurial narcissism and corporate gas lighting.
Maybe one day Sam Altman will generally be perceived as who he actually is

Yes. (The "takers" also do not have copyright protection.)
Great, you've just removed any incentive for people to make anything.
The vast amounts of permissively licensed works directly contradicts you.
Even if you take away copyright, there are plenty of incentives to create. Copyright is not the sole reason people create.

Vague. Are you talking about reasons to create like the joy of creating? Your bio describes you as a 'tech entrepreneur', not 'DIY tinkerer'. So I'll assume that when you spend a great deal of time entrepreneuring something, you do so with the hope of remuneration. Maybe not by licensing the copyright, but in some form.
Permissive licenses are great in software, where SAAS is an alternative route to getting paid. How does that work if you're a musician, artist, writer, or filmmaker who makes a living selling the rights to your creative output? It doesn't.

He is the boy wonder genius who will usher an era of infinite abundance but before he does that he has to take a detour to generate a lot of synthetic media & siphon a lot of user queries at every hour of every day so that advertisers can better target consumers w/ their plastic gadgets & snake oils. I'm sure they just need a few more trillions in data center buildouts & then they can get around to building the general purpose intelligence that will deliver us to the fully automated luxurious communist utopia.
