Demo is always better than the real product. We'll soon see how it works...

#832The Hollywood Reporter says many in the industry are very scared.[1] “I’ve heard a lot of people say they’re leaving film,” he says. “I’ve been thinking of where I can pivot to if I can’t make a living out of this anymore.” - a concept artist responsible for the look of the Hunger Games and some other films.

Honest question: of what possible use could Sora be for Hollywood? The results are amazing, but if the current crop of text-to-image tools is any guide, it will be easy to create things that look cool but essentially impossible to create something that meets detailed specific criteria. If you want your actor to look and behave consistently across multiple episodes of a series, if you want it to precisely follow a det…
It shows that good progress is still made.
Just this week sd audio model can make good audio effects like doors etc.
If this continues (and it seems it will) it will change the industry tremendously.

#833AI 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?
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.
It will be difficult to keep up proper levels of intelligence and education in humanity, because this time it is not only social media and its mostly negative impacts, but also tons of trash content generated by overhyped tools that will impact lots of people in a bad way. Some already stopped thinking and instead consult the chat app under the disguise of being more productive (whatever this means). Tough times ahead!

#834I think the implications go much further than just the image/video considerations. This model shows a very good (albeit not perfect) understanding of the physics of objects and relationships between them. The announcement mentions this several times. The OpenAI blog post lists "Archeologists discover a generic plastic chair in the desert, excavating and dusting it with great care." as one of the "failed" cases. But t…
I found the one about the people in Lagos pretty funny. The camera does about a 360deg spin in total, in the beginning there are markets, then suddenly there are skyscrapers in the background. So there's only very limited object permanence. > A beautiful homemade video showing the people of Lagos, Nigeria in the year 2056.

Though I'm not sure your point here -- outside of America -- in Asia and Africa -- these sorts of markets mixed in with skyscrapers are perfectly normal. There is nothing unusual about it.

Without a change in copyright law, I doubt it. The current policy of the USCO is that the products of AI based on prompts like this are not human authored and can't be copywritten. No one is going to release AI created stuff that someone else can reproduce because its public domain.

#837This is insane. But I'm impressed most of all by the quality of motion . I've quite simply never seen convincing computer-generated motion before . Just look at the way the wooly mammoths connect with the ground, and their lumbering mass feels real. Motion-capture works fine because that's real motion, but every time people try to animate humans and animals, even in big-budget CGI movies, it's always ultimately obvio…
Don't think of them as "computer-generated" any more than your phone's heavily processed pictures are "computer-generated", or JWST's false color, IR-to-visible pictures are "computer-generated".

#838AI 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 complete…
If there are no consumers, how will the AI companies earn money? You need UBI to keep the wheel turning.
The only way ahead is UBI and appropriate taxation (+ve for AI companies, -ve for citizens).

#839Has anyone else noticed the leg swap in Tokyo video at 0:14. I guess we are past uncanny, but I do wonder if these small artifacts will always be present in generated content. Also begs the question, if more and more children are introduced to media from young age and they are fed more and more with generated content, will they be able to feel "uncanniness" or become completely blunt to it. There's definitely interes…
I had to go back several times to 0:14 to see if it was really unusual. I get it of course, but probably watching 20 times I would have never noticed it.

#840To 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 was state of the art "Will Smith eating spaghetti". The idea being that it's a tough thing to generate.
