“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.
It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.
I guess we wait this one out until the “AI” bubble bursts due to the incredible subsidization the entire industry is undergoing. It is not profitable. It is not sustainable.
It will not last—but the damage to our planet and fallout from the immense amount of wasted resources will.
There's a lot of speculation about whether OpenAI's video generation model #Sora has a 'physics engine' (bolstered by OAI's own claims about 'world simulation'). Like the debate about world models in LLMs, this question is both genuinely interesting and somewhat ill-defined. 🧵1/
Following the emergence of AI image generators last year, the introduction of #Sora last week gives us now access to text-to-video generators. Would you guess what our take is on this?
Faszinierend und beängstigend: Mit der OpenAI-Software "Sora" lassen sich durch einfache Textbefehle Videos erstellen, die täuschend echt aussehen.
Das eröffnet Gefahren der Manipulation, aber auch kreative Möglichkeiten. Die Gefahr von Missbrauch ist hoch - gerade in einem "Superwahljahr" wie diesem. Noch ist die Nutzung Testern vorbehalten.
"#OpenAI is now actively pitching studios on #Sora. But nothing I’ve seen so far has convinced me that Sora has any real utility beyond, once again, low-grade crap.
Which is certainly true in the case of "Late Night with the Devil". The AI interstitials aren’t so awful that they break the whole movie…but they do stick out like a sore thumb…
Is the quick fix worth it? #moviestudios are about to discover it’s not."
If you read the technical report about #sora you might not understand much. So I asked ChatGPT to explain this to a fourth grader. Here is what it said. 👇
#OpenAI#Sora soll demnaechst fuer uns alle AI-Videos generieren, die bis zu 60 Sekunden lang sein koennen. Die Qualitaet dieser ist erschreckend... erschreckend schoen & das ist das eigentliche Problem!
I absolutely need to write about #OpenAI's #Sora. It scares the hell out of people and this time it's quite rational. Sure, it will put people out of work. Technologies been doing that for as long as it's existed.
But who's going to be the first person put on trial for a crime whose main evidence is an #AI generated video of them committing a crime?
The misinformation will be staggering, from political discourse, undetectable deepfake porn vids, and more.
If you saw the example footage of #Sora recently and thought, "Pfft, it's just #AIvideo garbage. Can't do sound, narration, and all the other stuff you need, so there!"
You can do all of that, VERY easily now. 15 minutes and I was able to get #aimusic from Google music labs. The narration is my voice reading a script #GPT4 made for me and then Speech2Speech being used on #ElevenLabs to get some star power.
Folks, give me two hours and I could get you a 10 minute doc.
(1/2) By now you've probably heard about #Sora and the latest wave of #AI-driven text-to-#video tools. It's all quite spectacular, but far from perfect. If you take a closer look, it's still possible to detect synthetic content. Essential pro tips: Play everything in slow motion. Consider real world physics – and logic.
Cette nouvelle #ia de #openai fait froid dans le dos. J'ai peur de ce que va proposer leur tool #sora dans le futur. Mais en tout cas ça va être compliqué... Très compliqué
Sora-ing high … my husband @CTGT and I were thrilled to add a lifer to our list this weekend, an adult Sora and three of her adorable fluffy black chicks. Tiny and skulky, she was fleet of foot - not hard with those big green puppies - in this shallow marshy pond, especially chasing off an encroaching American Robin that was also foraging for worms. Cropped photo collage in the comments if you’re interested in a closer look.
I have always said that the digital transformation will lead to a new look at our history and culture. But I never thought that this view would be so fictional.
This is Sora by OpenAI: an AI model to create videos from text with the ability to generate realistic scenes and adhere to prompts for up to a minute. https://openai.com/sora #sora#AI#VideoCreation
