What's All The Fuss About Sora?

Thanks for watching. Let me know what you think about Sora in the comments.

This video is a quick walkthrough on what Sora is and my initial thoughts.

This is so cool, thank you! What a time to be alive. We are living in a Renaissance.

I think it's one of the things I've waited for the most ever. I'll finally be able to bring to life all the projects I had in mind. For each one, there will be the opportunity to expand one's creativity, and technology doesn't necessarily have to supplant the quality that the industry brings to the table thanks to technicians and artists. The combination of these two entities will evolve cinema and art in general.

I can see Sora working really well for advertising and maybe for making music videos for Tik Tok, but an actual movie might be a long way off. I tried making a series of images for a fantasy style illustrated story using Dalle E 3 on Chat GPT4. As I developed the text for the image, Dalle/GPT really seemed to understand the idea and even expanded on some of my themes. Yet when it came to producing images, I could very quickly get one good image, but when I tried a follow up image in the story, consistency of character was a nightmare. Even using the exact same text description of the character, there was always something that changed, like a hair style and item of clothing, or a location. Even the most simple locations had significant changes in them and when I had more than one character or animal, Dalle just seemed to go crazy. The odds of getting a reasonable follow up image were about 50 to 1. In the end after using hundreds and hundreds of images I gave up. I can see exactly the same thing happening in Sora unless the images actually consistently obey the text input and have a form of memory. The images we see in the Sora examples show no evidence of memory. Saying all that it is an exciting breakthrough even if it's just 1 minute

So I'm seeing this, and if they're prompting this to get video like this...are we witnessing the first holodeck engine? like plug this in vr and talk to it in vr and describe the landscape or scene you want to walk in. I didn't realize we were potentially this close to this kind of tech. Add realtime audio, and combine it with gpt writing capabilities and you'll have fully interactive immersive stories.

Sora will be really fantastic. Probably it will be used in science also as a physics simulator, after being really precise. Seeing that kind of evolution make me imagine the unlimited potential for its usage. We are just in the beginning of 2024...

Chances are, this model won't be available for the public anytime soon, and when they release it, my guess is that it will be an enterprise level product since this would require massive compute. We can only hope the open source caching up and cheaper GPUs 😂

Wow .. looks amazing. Do we know at this point if it will be able to use an image as a starting prompt?
Thanks for keeping us up to date!

We have no idea when it will come out or who will have access though, but indeed groundbreaking

Each person's essence is etched in their dreams and daily pursuits, especially in their chosen profession. Yet, the looming shadow of AI replacing human roles casts doubt on our future. It's confounding why some fervently champion innovations that jeopardize our fundamental right to earn a living. Beware, the allure of novelty can exact a devastating toll. Remember.
It's baffling why those in power don't halt technologies that threaten lives, and why courts or human rights groups don't step in. Ordinary folks uphold the world's wealth structure, yet their job security is at risk. It's the duty of every government to protect their people's livelihoods.
