Ben Desai · Sora Showcase

We’re continuing to slowly expand Sora testing to more creatives (digital VFX pioneers, architects, choreographers, engineering artists, and creative entrepreneurs) to help us understand the model's capabilities and limitations, shaping the next phase of research to create increasingly safe AI systems over time. While access is still extremely limited while safety testing is underway, we wanted to celebrate these artists’ work with their reflections on how they use Sora in their process. (The underlying visuals were generated solely with Sora without any VFX, but artists added sound and edited using traditional filmmaking software.)

Benjamin Desai is a creative technologist and digital artist focused on AR and cofounder of Radical Realities, an award-winning immersive studio.  “Excited to share this imaginative look into an alternate past powered by Sora. Blending early 20th-century film aesthetics with whimsical scenarios and placing animals in unexpected roles. This work aims to ignite a sense of wonder while showcasing the potential of today's technology. Creating with Sora is still an experimental process, involving a lot of iteration and fine-tuning. It's much more of a human-AI collaboration than a magic button solution. Check out these fascinating animals and the joy of asking 'what if?'”

So when are you releasing the new gpt4o video call update?

[ado]

I must say, they chose the perfect music for this video

[nicholasstafford]

This looks like something that I'd fever dream

[FA-ulpr]

Technology like this would make everyone become a conspiracy theorist.

[XAORESS]

Just release it, we dont care if its glitchy at this point were impressed enough

[yamani]

I don’t know why they think we want to watch a video and wait for the release. In fact, I makes me wish that another tools releases theirs first so I can switch and stay there. I dislikes these methods of building anticipation.

B&W is a smart style choice for the state of this tech. While overall very impressive and largely believable, there are still often some glaring flaws that ruin the illusion. B&W helps to mask that up considerably and reduce the chance of spotting inconsistencies.

0:13 The start of the tottenham hotspurs

[Techtalk]

I can already do most of this more or less on gen 3

I WANT THE NEW VOICE MODE RIGHT FUCKING NOW, please

[asterlofts]

Super interesting, getting better and better. People seem to be complaining about the new voice mode (I'm not sure what that is right now), but I suspect you will make it happen soon. I wish you the best for SORA and GT4 and the voice modes. :)

People from the past would've seriously believed some of these if they were shown the footages

[WayLiko]

The future of internet is going to have some crazy movies! 🍿 can’t wait!

[NotesOfArun]

Stop these gimmicks and deliver something. Have already switched to Claude.

[DiceDecides]

Almost a year of teasing this, just release it already

[insitegd]

I want to see a movie made with AI, I can't imagine what type of creepy creatures can make. That would be a very terrifying movie.

[JDH_MUSIC]

Kling ai is already better, you guys lost the race

[Pajero]

It's cool to make videos from SORA AI, I like that video😍😍😍😍

[SandsofMind]

The early 1900s was a strange time indeed.

[koshisunuwarrai]

this the cursed video that causes its viewers to die seven days later.
