Sysco does or used to sell a french fry that was indistinguishable from McDonald's when cooked similarly. They had a catalog that visualized lined up individual representative french fries.
A bit dissapointed by this. You have to create an account, get a license, deploy it and then you get a fucking download manager just for linux and windows to download who knows what that should run on qemu. Why not just give a link to a qemu image with a script that runs it?
In an era where most development-oriented software is downloaded with wget/git clone/[package manager] install, this whole process feels like a slap in the face. And don't get me wrong, this is still a huge upgrade over the InstallShield Wizard of the previous versions, which rarely worked at all, and if it did, it would butcher your /etc/profile, but its still an absolute abomination, bundling an entire JRE for the only rightful architecture x86-64 just to download and unzip a few files.
Not a problem at all. I’m not sure why you feel the need to focus on all the un-interesting parts. The interesting parts are what he said and weather or not those are true. Not sure why is more important who said what, rather than what was said especially if this doesn’t add much to the original discussion… it just misdirects attention without a clear indication to the motive!
There’s always someone with the buzzkill. Do you think is really that hard, for those who care, yo find all these sad facts? FFS man, let us celebrate the good a little bit. In this world is really not that hard to find the bad!
I don’t think comparing Apple to Steam, is an apples to apples comparison. AFAIK Steam doesn’t ask for exclusivity if you publish on its platform. So it is up to the customer to choose how it publishes its products.
It's not clear what you mean here; Apple doesn't ask for exclusivity either. You can publish on Apple and on Steam and Android and they won't complain.
> Sora is like 80% there, I think we would be 90% there in 2 years time with 5-10x more GPGPU power training.
Don’t underestimate the last 20%! I don’t think this is just a matter of more training or more data. But yeah, 2-5 more years will not change the outcome you’re describing!
Speaking as someone who has done VFX professionally, I think Sora is closer about 30% there. It's really not constituted in a way that makes it easy to combine with existing techniques. You either need to come up with a way to make them play nicely together or you have to recreate the entire production pipeline in the model.
It'll get better, but I don't think they've been aiming in the right direction if the goal is to replace current production methods.
Yeah text-prompting only won't replace production work, but it can surely accelerate and boost pre-prod work, maybe doing prelim shots for a storyboard, creative ideas for the costume dept... lots of cool things.
I think for prod work it needs what the auto1111 plugins have given SD - ControlNet etc, where you have a lot more control over the generation and the text prompt is just a small part of it.
Yeah, I don't think people understand how much pre-prod work is done. For the next 5 to 10 years this what it'll be used for. In the next 20 years, 90% are out of work.
The problem is that Hollywood doesn't really care. They live on making compromises during shoots, and if they can save hundreds of thousands as well as dozens of hours and manpower on a scene, they will do it (and they do all the time with horrible CGI, poorly shot scenes, etc...), and they aren't the only industry that will do this.
Right away, the stock footage market is in danger because content creators will opt for a free (good enough) option, over having to not just pay for, and but look for exactly what they want and need.
There's plenty of other industries that will be affected, I can't say that 80% of people will lose their jobs, these things aren't a switch you flip, it's a gradual process, but over time we'll definitely see jobs made obsolete/optimized.
This technology is the worst it'll ever be, and we've seen how far it got in just a single year with Will Smith eating spaghetti and now Sora.

Isn't this a problem for Hollywood itself? Isn't the strength of Hollywood the capital to hire good actors and effects people etc?
You seem to be assuming that Hollywood will just fire all the actors and save money, but to me it seems more like Hollywood is in the danger zone too?
The thing is, you run the same prompt twice and you get twice an unique result. Its trivial to keep asking for more renditions of given scene till you are happy with it, even kids can do this and certainly somebody in sweatshop in Vietnam can do that too. You literally need 1 person a bit of computer power. So instead of team of pixar and disney you have 1 guy with the product and some aws prepaid computing.
Now I don't know how long it took openai to put together that 10 minute demo video, if they ran 3x the resulting prompts or 100x more and had to cherry pick hard (ie that bird's head, I was expecting heavy morphing of those feathers but they kept their visual consistency, for sure this was not the first attempt with at-glance-perfect result).
sama sat on twitter during that day and rendered prompts from people on the fly, so those weren't heavily cherry-picked. I didn't watch most of them and they had some bugs for sure, but if they had had to cherry-pick like 1 of 100 for the blog demos he would never have sat and done live renders like that.
Full of critics in here. I’m not sure what service these “analysts” think they’re providing but it is so annoying to read these pompous critiques: dude I’m happy I’ll choose one as my wallpaper and dream that I’m special because I found this special photo from a special artist that decided to give his work away for us to enjoy? Wtf are these people rambling about! Enjoy the gift, or not, but please stfu… people aren’t looking for a review to a freebie.
