Wow, some of those shots are so close to being unnoticeable. That one of the eye close up is insane. It’s interesting reading all the comments, I think both sides to the “we should be scared” are right in some sense. These models currently give some sort of super power to experts in a lot of digital fields. I’m able to automate the mundane parts of coding and push out fun projects a lot easier today. Does it replace…

One of things I've loved about HN was the quality of comments. Whether broad or arcane, you had experts the world over who would tear the topic apart with data and a healthy dose of cynicism. I frequently learned more from the debate and critique than I did from the "news" itself.

I don't know what is it about AI and current state of tech, but the discourse as of late has really taken a nosedive. I'm not saying that any of this conjecture won't happen, but the acceleration towards fervor and fear mongering on the subject is bordering on religiosity - seriously, it makes crypto bros look good.

And yeah -- looks like some cool new tech from OpenAI, and excited when I can actually dig in. Would also love it if I could hire their marketing department.

I'm just blown away. This can't be real. But lets be face the truth. Its even more impressive than ChatGPT. I think its the most impressive AI tech i've seen till now. I'm speechless. Now the big question is. As OpenAI keeps pushing boundaries, it's fascinating to see the emergence of tools like Sora AI, capable of creating incredibly lifelike videos. But with this innovation comes a set of concerns we can't ignore.…

Its why I submitted this. We need some way to attest the authenticity of images.

To put it into perspective, the Will Smith eating spaghetti video came out not even a year ago -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQr4Xklqzw8

You do know that video wasnt like... state of the art video generation a year ago? It's an intentionally silly meme video

It's pretty obvious why. Automation has finally come for programmers so now everyone here is anti-progress.

AI 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?

AI still can't drive reliably. AI isn't sure if something is correct or not. AI still doesn't really understand anything. You could replace AI with computers in your sentence and it would probably be a very real worry that people shared in 1990. Theres always been technology that people are afraid will drastically change things, but ultimately people adapt and the world is usually better off.

Videos don’t feel real though this is best thing I have ever seen on topic ‘text-to-video’. I am sure this will go so far and become more realistic. But does this mean that we will not hire actors and creators but we will hire video editors who can stitch all together and prompt writers who can create tiny videos for story.

So i'm worried about getting these tools misused. I'm thinking about what impact could they have on the trustworthiness of visual media, especially in an era plagued by fake news and misinformation? And what about the ethical considerations surrounding the creation and dissemination of content that looks real but isn't?

He will be in the same boat as the rest of us. In 12 years I expect the current crop of AI capabilities will have hit maturity. We will all collectively have to figure out how life+AI looks like, just as we have done with life+iPhones.
