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.

to be fair, there's still a bunch of other sora demo clips that are very impressive.
* that haven't been individually debunked yet, just the big splashy one they publicised most heavily
I don't think sora is good for anything or anyone other than openai making more money based on hype, but it seems pretty reasonable to me that the company that previously scraped the whole internet (violating everyones copyright) and trained one of the best text models on it, could do the same for video.
I mean, most of the clips they show have some noticable minor (or major) issues, and the "fail" examples are very obviously wrong.
I hadn't even seen the balloon head one, I only watched the clips they published when they announced it.
Unfortunately, effort does not guarantee quality, and it's worth contemplating the possibility that they violated everyone's rights just to make something irredeemably crappy.
true, i do love the video of wolf pups intersecting and disappearing and regenerating like in a dream, or the incredibly creepy birthday one with fake humans morphing into one another and i'd love to see what sort of disturbing and content infringing stuff i could produce with it if it didn't consume a rainforest's worth of power for five seconds of video
