It's obvious there is no way OpenAI can keep videos generated by this within their ecosystem. Everything will be fake, nothing real. We are going to have to change the way we interact with video. While it's obviously possible to fake videos today, it takes work by the creator and takes skill. Now it will take no skill so the obvious consequence of this is we can't believe anything we see. The worst part is we are alr…

We are going to have to change the way we interact with video.

I doubt it will be for the better. The ubiquity of AI deepfakes just reenforces entrenchment around "If the message reinforces my preconceived notion, I believe it and think anyone who calls it fake is stupid/my enemy/pushing an agenda. If the message contradicts my preconceived notion, it's obviously fake and anyone who believes it is stupid/my enemy/pushing an agenda.". People don't even take the time to think "is this even plausible", much less do the intellectual work to verify.

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.

> 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.

I would argue that we just get pickier and more sensitive to slop. When everyone can make a movie, the standard for a good movie will be higher. Many current Hollywood films wouldn’t make the cut. But maybe some kid in Nigeria makes the greatest film of all time.

I know the comments here are gonna be negative but I just find this so sick and awesome. Feels like it's finally close to the potential we knew was possible a few years ago. Feels like a pixar moment when CG tech showed a new realm of what was possible with toy story

No doubt they can create Hollywood quality clips if the tools are good enough to keep objects consistent, example, coming back to the same scene with same decor and also emotional consistency in actors

Sam Altman has made (for me) encouraging statements in the past about short-form video like TikTok being the best current example of misaligned AI. While this release references policies to combat "Doomscrolling and RL-sloptimization", it's curious that OpenAI would devote resources to building a social app based on AI generated short form video, which seems to be a core problem in our world. IMO you can't tweak the…

Sam Altman is a businessman. His job is to say whatever assuages his market, and that includes gaslighting you when you're disgusted by AI. If you never expected Altman to be the figurehead of principled philosophy, none of this should surprise you. Of course the startup alumni guy is going to project maligned expectations in the hopes of being a multi-trillion dollar company. The shareholders love that shit, Altman…

> His job is to say whatever assuages his market

I understand the cynicism but this is in fact not the job of a businessman. We shouldn't perpetuate the pathological meme that it is.

I wonder about the implications of this tech.

State of the things with doom scrolling was already bad, add to it layoffs and replacing people with AI (just admit it, interns are struggling competing with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex)

What's coming next? Bunch of people, with lots of free time watching non-sense AI generated content?

I am genuinely curious, because I was and still excited about AI, until I saw how doom scrolling is getting worse

The example prompt "intense anime battle between a boy with a sword made of blue fire and an evil demon demon" is super clearly just replicating Blue Exorcist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Exorcist

one of the example prompts is literally: Prompt: in the style of a studio ghibli anime, a boy and his dog run up a grassy scenic mountain with gorgeous clouds, overlooking a village in the distant background

Wow that is dark, after Ghiblis staunch stance on AI.

These companies and their shareholders really are complete scum in my eyes, just like AI in miltech.

Not because the tech isn't super interesting but because they steal years of hard work and pain from actual artists with zero compensation - and then they brag about it in the most horrible way possible, with zero empathy.

Then comes losing the little humanity left the mainstream culture, exactly as Miyzaki said, leading to a dead cold and even more unjust society.

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.

Maybe your real is good. For most people on Earth, real isn't that great.

Honest question: What problem does this solve?

Thing that was previously very expensive, manual and took a long time to do, and is done A LOT, is now made faster and cheaper by computers. Pretty much the same problem we all work on every day in $DAY_JOB.

Fun and games until someone uses a tool like this to scam your family
