This shit is ALL going to burst.

Newer open weight models are constantly being released that are leagues better than the last generation and it's becoming easier and easier to just download a model and do this shit on your own computer at home if you've got a decent gaming rig. Why pay anyone for this shit? Look up the new video model that just got released, LTX 2.3, or what can be done with Flux 2 Klein. All with free tools like Stability Matrix and ComfyUI. You can skim through NerdyRodent's videos on YT to get an Idea of what is possible FOR FREE with computing equipment many of us already have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-ZLRAhPyLk

Do you think they're going to try to find a way to stop people downloading and making their own? Like pull a copyright thing and make everything licensed?

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 1 points 3 hours ago

No. For one, SCOTUS ruled that content purely generated by AI is not copyrightable. Yeah, I know, finally a good decision from an awful organization.

A second point is the cat is already out of the bag. We currently have tools so powerful that the average person will be fooled. It's amazing what we can do with AI and AI generation.

For example I'm currently working on training my own LoRAs to create a purely digital 'realistic' fox girl I can use to sell adult content and while the process isn't "easy" for creating consistency, if you want to do things one-off that part is absolutely easy. Even if I create this thing I have no plans on copyrighting it. I'm putting a lot of work in getting the tail to look right and consistent at the base of the spine in a photo-realistic way and the thing is, once I do that and release photos and videos I have no doubt other people will use my images and videos to train their own LoRA. The work I put into it will be made 10x more easy for others just using my results. That just is how it is and you accept it when working in this space. What you bank on is that the average person isn't going to care to put in the effort and/or they just have a few bucks to toss you on a patreon to get their regular adult slop of a fox girl abusing herself and calling you "daddy".

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

Clos Suno and Midjourney next! Holy crap i could live a happy life without Civitai around!

Really hoping they all go under yesterday so people stop sending me slop of cats wearing samurai armor.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking they probably still allow generating videos with AI and it is just that social media app that lets you give yourself brain damage by viewing a neverending stream of videoslop that is being discontinued. But no. I was wrong. They killed the whole thing:

OpenAI has shut down Sora and ended its $1 billion Disney deal, shifting focus away from AI video tools to robotics and task-based AI systems.

OpenAI has officially shut down Sora, its high-profile video-generation tool, and has also ended its reported $1 billion deal with The Walt Disney Company. The move signals a clear change in strategy as the company redirects its focus toward other AI areas.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

There has been a lot of talk about AI making like, no money at all. Which seems to be true.

Remember there is huge incentive for the ruling class to pretend AI is the next big deal and super popular. They want it for defence and propaganda purposes. They're using it in their wars, and at home they're using it to fuck with the internet so people don't know what's real anymore. Most of the public hates AI and is not spending money on it. The money is coming from defence spending, tricking investors and useful idiots who think they can cut business costs by replacing their workforce. They have a reason to pretend it's doing better than it is.

This is the second entry in my timeline of AI hype winding down. The first one was GitHub no longer giving away premium AI models to students.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

they need to stop doing that cause they are killing coding as a profession.

Will never be enough as long as other generative images tools are available (and they still are unfortunately)

Saw this headline and thought it made sense because I haven’t heard any mention of sora in almost a year

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm so out of the loop for AI tools, is this a big app? Important or anything? I saw Disney canceled a contract with openAi (but it was a tweet)

[–] AlyxMS@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not important. It's a video generator, type some text and it generates the doorbell camera view of a cat firing a machine gun.

Was ahead of the open source solutions, and probably everyone else for a good while. No e the Chinese (unfortunately proprietary) ones has gotten just as good if not better.

Also they tried to sell it as a new way to produce films. Except the stuff it makes is nowhere near ready for that. So people used it as a toy, generating joke clips / AI slop.

The amount of compute needed to generate videos is like an order of magnitude higher than pictures and text. They have to be bleeding money like crazy from this thing.

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So it's too soon to get excited for the bubble pop? :(

At least they're seeing what's too expensive to be useful

[–] AlyxMS@hexbear.net 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Just think of it as a few bundles of straw to the camel's back. The raising energy cost from the Iran kerfuffle will also add some bundles.

Personally I am optimistic. But again, money has never been so fake. Operating at a loss while being valued in the billions seems to be a common thing these days.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I assume this was happening because of the strong competition.

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if you want to see this groundbreaking incredibly useful technology at work here is an example of where a streamer gave Sora his likeness and let chat loose
