Countdown to when studios licensing this for "unlimited" episodes of your favorite series. There was Seinfeld "Nothing, Forever" AI parody, but once the models improve enough and are cheap enough to deploy, studios will license their content for real and just have endless seasons. Or even custom episodes. Imagine if every episode of a TV show was unique to the viewer.
This is insane. Even though there are open-source models, I think this is too dangerous to release to the public. If someone would've uploaded that Tokyo video to youtube, and told me it was a drone.. I would've believed them. All "proof" we have can be contested or fabricated.
This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.
Also, nicely timed to overshadow the Google Gemini 1.5 announcement.
“ Sora can also create multiple shots within a single generated video that accurately persist characters and visual style.”
To create a movie I need character visual consistency across scenes.
Getting that right is the hardest part of all the existing text->video tools out there.

DALL-E presentation also looked cool and everyone was stoked about it. Now that we know of its limitations and oddities? YMMV, but I'd say not so much - Stable Diffusion is still the go-to solution. I strongly suspect the same thing with Sora.
The prompts - incredible and such quality - amazing. "Prompt: An extreme close-up of an gray-haired man with a beard in his 60s, he is deep in thought pondering the history of the universe as he sits at a cafe in Paris, his eyes focus on people offscreen as they walk as he sits mostly motionless, he is dressed in a wool coat suit coat with a button-down shirt , he wears a brown beret and glasses and has a very professorial appearance, and the end he offers a subtle closed-mouth smile as if he found the answer to the mystery of life, the lighting is very cinematic with the golden light and the Parisian streets and city in the background, depth of field, cinematic 35mm film."

This has been the case for a while now already, it's better that we just rip off the bandaid and everyone should become a skeptic. Standards for evidence will need to rise.
This is the second time OpenAI has released something right at the same time as google did (Gemini 1.5 Pro with 10M token context length just now). Can't just be a coincidence
I'm actually worried about the future of Google at this point. They really seem to be struggling under their own weight.
