Seriously cannot wait to be able to put a 1 weeks worth of dream diary into a tool like this and see my dream inspired movies!

Re: Sora: Creating video from text
#722AI will eventually be capable of performing most of the tasks humans can do. My neighbor's child is only 6 years old now. What advice do you think I should give to his parents to develop their child in a way that avoids him growing up to find that AI can do everything better than he can?
If you want an honest answer you should tell the parents to vote for politicians prepared to launch missile strikes on data centers to secure their child's future.
People who are worried purely about employment here are completely missing the larger risks.
Realistically his child is going to be unemployable and will therefore either starve or be dependant on some kind of government UBI policy. However UBI is completely unworkable in an AI world because it assumes that AI companies won't just relocate where they don't need to pay tax, and that us as citizens will have any power over the democratic process in a world where we're economically and physically worthless.
Assuming UBI happens and the child doesn't starve to death, if the government alter decides to cut UBI payments after receiving large bribes from AI companies what would people do? They can't strike, so I guess they'll need to try to overthrow the government in a world with AI surveillance tech and policing.
Realistically humans in the future are going to have no power, and worse still in a world of UBI the less people there leaching from the government means the more resources there are for those with power. The more you can kill the more you earn.
And I'm just focusing on how we deal with the unemployment risks here. There's also the risk that AI will be used to create biological weapons. The risk of us creating a rogue superintelligent AGI. The risk of horrific AI applications like mind-reading.
Assuming this parent loves their child they should be doing everything in their power to demand progress in AI is halted before it's too late.

#723Does 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?

#725This is pretty impressive, it seems that OpenAI consistently delivers exceptional work, even when venturing into new domains. But looking into their technical paper, it is evident that they are benefiting from their own body of work done in the past and also the enormous resources available to them.
For instance, the generational leap in video generation capability of SORA may be possible because:
1. Instead of resizing, cropping, or trimming videos to a standard size, Sora trains on data at its native size. This preserves the original aspect ratios and improves composition and framing in the generated videos. This requires massive infrastructure. This is eerily similar to how GPT3 benefited from a blunt approach of throwing massive resources at a problem rather than extensively optimizing the architecture, dataset, or pre-training steps.
2. Sora leverages the re-captioning technique from DALL-E 3 by leveraging GPT to turn short user prompts into longer detailed captions that are sent to the video model. Although it remains unclear whether they employ GPT-4 or another internal model, it stands to reason that they have access to a superior captioning model compared to others.
This is not to say that inertia and resources are the only factors that is differentiating OpenAI, they may have access to much better talent pool but that is hard to gauge from the outside.

#726Wow. And just like that fliki.ai and similar products have been sherlocked. Great time to be a creator, not the best time to be a product developer, production designer

It is okay, it is not too much power really.
People will not loose their jobs, because you still need someone to input prompts for 10 hours straight in order to get a piece of video you want.
Natural language is not perfectly precise to get exactly what you want from a model like this, and the results remain kinda random. Instead of making video in a traditional tool you will be spinning AI roulette until it generates your desired result. And even then you will probably want to edit it.
Tools advance, but tools remain tools.

#728To those who are saying, look at this at a positive and it lets people unleash their creativity? - This enables everyone to be creators - Given that everyone's creativity isn't top notch, highest quality will be limited to a the best - So rest of us will be consumers - How will we consume if we don't have work and there is no UBI?
If "Given that everyone's creativity isn't top notch, highest quality will be limited to a the best", that implies the existence of professionals, which implies work.

OpenAI is not going to solve global warming and we will be well into widespread collapse of farming systems, mass migrations and wars of scarcity long before the robots will be doing all the work. AI isnt going to solve any of that so...if you're looking for depression/doom, that's probably a better place to look.

#730Does Google have a competing product I can join the wait list for?
