Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Turns Out That Extremely Impressive Sora Demo

Impressive to whom, exactly? Play a game and pause that video at any random spot and tell me it looks like a movie shot.

Even after editing that scene with the fountain has completely random shadows and this... just whatever the fuck this even is

Sam Altman says AI is gonna need so much energy that we need to be investing in new energy strategies.

If it still takes humans doing all this extra work to get the job done, wouldn't it make more financial and ecological sense to just...

...

...pay artists a living wage to do the same fucking job instead?

We're gonna burn our planet to the ground and doom our species to extinction for this bullshit? Fuck me, maybe it's what we deserve, then.

it's incumbent on sam altman to pretend that ai will more efficiently drain the world's money, capital and power into the hands of the ultra rich, because this is how he causes money, capital and power to drain into his hands

Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output? It doesn’t sound like they had to do all that much to the output to get what they wanted. There aren’t any AI tools right now that always output exactly what you want without any alterations, so of course they had to regenerateate clips many times and fix them up manually. They still ended up with a video that required no actual filming, and that’s impressive.

yes and people 4 months ago were like "haha stupid ai art can't draw hands" and now that's just like not a valid argument because the tech has matured to a degree that its pretty reasonable to create something with little to no imperfections, and obviously that will happen again with video
