Re: Sora 2
#82So a social network that's 100% your friends doing silly AI things? I feel like this is the ultimate extension of "it feels like my feed is just the artificial version of what's happening my friends and doesn't really tell me anything about how they're actually faring."
Social media also tends to highlight the best parts of people’s lives, creating unrealistic expectations and views for those consuming it and looking at their real life. Now social media won’t even be a highlight reel, but completely fabricated. I have to imagine there will be a rebellion against all of this at some point, when people simply can’t take the false realities anymore. What is the alternative? Ready Playe…
Which seem to level the play field, at least virtually

#83Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?
People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.
This is absolutely horrible.
People need to be exposed to what is real. Not more artificial stuff.
I think this is the point at which humanity will finally puke and reject this crap.
Just because a small segment of people like it doesnt mean the mass majority will.

What are the benefits of those videos?

> People are doing cool things with it Things are cool because they are unique, very hard to create, and require creativity. When those things become cheap commodities, they are no longer cool.
The same could be said about software, and it's safe to say that open-source software making complex workflows easier and more efficient is a net good. Making better tools is better for everyone: the median usage of those tools downstream is a separate issue.
If you're comparing how art is evaluated to how software is evaluated then it sounds like you only understand one or the other.

Re: Sora 2
#87Impressively high level of continuity. The only errors I could really call out are:
1/ 0m23s: The moon polo players begin with the red coat rider putting on a pair of gloves, but they are not wearing gloves in the left-vs-right charge-down.
2/ 1m05s: The dragon flies up the coast with the cliffs on one side, but then the close-up has the direction of flight reversed. Also, the person speaking seemingly has their back to the direction of flight. (And a stripy instead of plain shirt and a harness that wasn’t visible before.)
3/ 1m45s: The ducks aren't taking the right hand corner into the straightaway. They are heading into the wall.
I do wonder what the workflow will be for fixing any more challenging continuity errors.

That is more of a statement of the complete dominance of iPhones among gen z.
Or Sama's documented reverence for Apple products. We are talking about the guy who sold Tim Cook his AI for $0.00, he's not exactly got the horse drawing the cart here.
Google sold Tim Cook their search engine for $-25B per year
Re: Sora 2
#89Doing this as a social app somehow feels really gross, and I can't quite put to words why. Like, it should be preferable to keep all the slop in the same trough. But it's like they can't come up with even one legitimate use case, and so the best product they can build around the technology is to try to create an addictive loop of consuming nothing but auto-generated "empty-calories" content.
I see it more as recognizing that it will take time to be good enough for other use cases so for this release they are targeting it as just something to have fun with. After seeing LLMs crammed into everything whether it makes sense or not, I can appreciate that.

Yes, but at the same time the value of video production will quickly drop to 0. Or to whatever it costs to generate that video in terms of tokens.
