Now is the time for digital archaeologists to mine slop from 2024-era threads announcing the launch of Sora, which as a social network was billed as the critical next step for OpenAI that everything was hinging on.

https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1arm2g5/introducing_sora_our_texttovideo_model_openai/

spoiler

Today marks the actual start of 2024.

Edit: forget startups, Hollywood or the entertainment industry as we know it will never be the same again. FYI, watch the demo videos on their website on a bigger screen, not on the phone, the quality will shock even more.

Agreed. This is going to be a way bigger shock to the system than GPT-4 I think. When these videos start circulating, the conversation will start to pick up. People will realise text to image wasn't some fluke. I'd say grab the popcorn, but I wouldn't exactly say I'm looking forward to all the incoming screaming.

RIP Stock footage industry, RIP many animation related freelancers on Fiverr & Co.

I’ve been saying this time and time again, Sam is sitting on tons of big shit in-house at OAI, they’ve just had no incentive to release because of their monopoly.

The second Google fired the nuclear warhead at them, they suddenly spring into action. This is why competition is ALWAYS a good thing in a market.

Up the competition, accelerate. Let’s force OpenAI to release GPT-5.

Just as people were starting to be like "2024 really sucks for AI", probably the biggest day for AI ever happened.

This is the most unbelievable tech I’ve ever seen in my life. What a time to be alive

“Sora serves as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a capability we believe will be an important milestone for achieving AGI.”

That... is... insane!

we are so back

Can you feel the AGI?

LETS FUCKING GOOOO!

What the actual fuck. I don't think I'll ever forget the moment I just saw this.

The next iteration is going to be something else but this is already something and a half. To do this the model necessarily needs a deep and true understanding of the world as it is. This is a visual glimpse into the actual capabilities of the transformer model.

Full AGI is coming. It's just coming. At the rate of progression we're seeing, it's not far away.

I work in video production, specialising in live action digital content. There's been a palpable sense in that industry that we were only one announcement away from the beginning of the end, and this feels like it.

I give it two years before nobody bothers shooting the kind of stuff I shoot, ever again. Maybe another two after that before clients stop needing people like me at all.

Bro, this gives me goosebumps. This is so insane. The polar feeling is real. I, objectively, notice that we are on an exponential curve and the progress is speeding up. I can reason everything that is to come.

But when it actually happens like this one. It still blows my mind. My brain which controls emotions cannot keep up with the pace of progress.

I’m at a loss of words for this one - holy-mother-of-guacamole.

OpenAI dropping the nukes FR

There it is, OpenAI has such a lead that it does not seem conceivable for anyone else to catch up to them. Best LLM, best Image generator, and now best video generator.

This is going to be disruptive in a way that NOBODY on this planet is ready for.

I am proud to be able to live this pivotal moment in our history.

The future has begun.

Mind blown.

Is this what it feels like to witness a novel advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic?

The Singularity is actually happening this year

Humans are not ready for this sort of thing.

Incredible data-laughing

monke-beepboop regurgitate your training data in weird video that feels like i'm being lied to by every aspect of it

no-mouth-must-scream [my training data but now it's uncomfortable to look at and lies to you]

monke-rage wow
