Yeah, you just can't let all media, all the cost and hard work of millions of photographers, animators, filmmakers, etc be completely consumed and devalued by one company just because it's a very cool technical trick. The more powerful these services become the more obvious that will be. What OpenAI does is amazing, but they obviously cannot be allowed to capture the value of every piece of media ever created — it'll…
Who's "you"?
Imagine someone combining this with the Apple Vision Pro...many people will simply opt out of reality and live in a digital world. Not that this is new, but I'll entice a lot more people than ever before.
As much as I love the technology, I’m really not looking forward to this becoming ubiquitous. Time and time again we’ve allowed technological progress to outpace our ability to weight the societal pros ands cons.
Smartphones and the rise of image-heavy social media has rapidly changed social norms. Watch a video of people out in public 20 years ago: no screen to distract them at bus stops, concert events, or while eating dinner with friends. And if that seems trite, consider how well correlated the rise in suicide rates is with the popularity of these technologies.
Not sure if this makes me a luddite or if the feeling is common in this crowd.
This is leaps and bounds beyond anything out there, including both public models like SVD 1.1 and Pika Labs' / Runway's models. Incredible.
I'm almost speechless. I've been keeping an eye on the text-to-video models, and if these example videos are truly indicative of the model, this is an order of magnitude better than anything currently available. In particular, looking at the video titled "Borneo wildlife on the Kinabatangan River" (number 7 in the third group), the accurate parallax of the tree stood out to me. I'm so curious to learn how this is wor…
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.
I wonder if there is anything in the recent Hollywood strikes that will prevent the studios from dong that?

Where is the training material for this coming from? The only resource I can think of that's broad enough for a general purpose video model is YouTube, but I can't imagine Google would allow a third party to scrape all of YT without putting up a fight.

https://openai.com/sora?video=big-sur In this video, there's extremely consistent geometry as the camera moves, but the texture of the trees/shrubs on the top of the cliff on the left seems to remain very flat, reminiscent of low-poly geometry in games. I wonder if this is an artifact of the way videos are generated. Is the model separating scene geometry from camera? Maybe some sort of video-NeRF or Gaussian Splatti…
No mention of how much they had to cherry pick right? Interested to know what the success rate of such amazingmess Pika have really impressive videos on their homepage that are borderline impossible to make for myself.

made me literally say, out loud, "doesnt-matter-had-sex"
Sam is probably going to get his $7T if he keeps this up, and when he does everybody else will be locked out forever.
I already know people who have basically opted out of life. They're addicted to porn, addicted to podcasts where it's just dudes chatting as if they're all hanging out together, and addicted to instagram influencers.
100% they would pay a lot of money to be able to hang out with Joe Rogan, or some only fans person, and those pornstars or podcasts hosts will never disagree with them, never get mad at them, never get bored of them, never thing they're a loser, etc.
These videos are crazy. Highly suggest anybody who was playing with Dall-E a couple of years ago, and being mindblown by "an astronaut riding a horse in space" or whatever go back and look at the images they were creating then, and compare that to this.
