Your content delivery is easily "digestible." Thank you.

7:06 - As someone who has been around a long time in the creative world, I agree 100%. Even if what you produce now is junk, nonsense, not something you would share with your best friend, this is how you will learn and be best prepared for the future when Sora (or Stability, Kaiber, etc.) is released, and refined.

Thanks for this overview / update. What I'm curious about is what SORA video's look like when they are based on an input image, i.e. from MidJourney. It seems to me, that would give people even more control over the look of the video... like that recent EMO lip-sync, singing algorithm. A hybrid of those two could be really powerful for film making with dialogue or a music video.

I'm just going to repost (quote myself) from what I said to you about your video - "HUGE AI Video Gamechanger!" - on Boxinator from about a month ago, of which you agreed with at the time. "...the main problem I have with these previews of new AIs shows the crazy cool stuff they can do is that by the time they are released, the already existing ones (Pika, Gen2, etc.) have a good chance of having these same features or even better. So it looks now like they are so much better than the competition, but the competition isn't showing us what they are going to have available to us in 2 to 3 months. They're showing us the great things already available to us." It seems this could end up being the exact same case with Sora.

Thanks for telling me about the gultch sigh up beta I had no idea this existed

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the work you do.

Great video! I first got to this channel from the Boximator video, wanted to ask if you've seen and covered the recent Emote paper, it's almost flawless.. All the best! ❤

I don't think a tech working on the thing calling it "sora 1" means anything more than that internally they're tracking development milestones with a fairly typical versioning scheme, as you'd expect any developers to do anyhow. Like, there's certainly some requirements list set for them and/or by them for a 1.0 or 1.0.0 or however exactly they choose to do it, along with a bunch of intermediate goals they had before being feature complete for this no doubt. Very happy to have found your channel, a much more measured tone and more substantial research to make the vids than a buch of others in the yt AI space I've previouslly run into!

Yeah, I saw that yesterday when the chief tech officer doesn’t even know what their video creators were trained on, that is super shady

6:45 my close caption says "Bill peoples", same thing when you showed the Sora team ITW, can you help me understand ? thanks!

thanks a lot for this, and for your advice regarding Sora!

4:11 same here - I'm EXTREMELY skeptical of that time frame

When the two women in an interview showed up at... 1:43, Perfect editing because until you mentioned it, I thought it was real! As for transparency, see, this is the issue. If companies were to just be bloody transparent about the source of their data, there would be less hate and more concrete grounds for lawmakers to actually make actionable decisions. That would create a less toxic environment in communities and certainly allow for 'ethical progress' (whatever that means). It would also make many of us more comfortable in actually creating, with defined laws as opposed to blurred lines drawn in the sand on a windy day! Easier said than done, I'm sure, but no one is etching the rules in stone; not without vagueness, and not without them applying globally. Great video Tim. 👍 Thanks...off to watch the one I missed about the free video generator!

You are right, dont wait. There are new videos generators out every week. I keep testing them for my channel. One day Sora will be here and I am sure it will change the entire industry. But get real. While for sure it will provide us with stunning new videos it will not be the ultimate solution.

They HAVE to release Sora in a few months, simply because of competition. It would be naive to think that other companies won’t be capable to soon surpass Sora’s current capabilities.

Regarding the timeframe: I can easily see it being a matter of waiting for the boss to give the timeframe estimate to not overstep their role(s). If they were not given explicit directions to reveal an estimate, better to let the boss make the statement. Sounds like a more plausible solution to the timeframe discrepancy. At least to me.

I especially agree with you on your comment about not waiting for the right technology to arrive before you decide to start creating. That's how you remain perpetually behind. I think Sora is going to be great for asset creation that compositers can then use along with other methods to do things that have never been seen before... like I'm doing.

Great advice Tim, use the tools we have and make ART now!

I believe they are offering a "Sora" lite version of the larger model, which explains why the videos demonstrated in the interview feature many hallucinations. This is why they can release it earlier: because the video is of low quality, and high hallucination means it is easier to identify whether it is fake or not. Another reason is that they cannot deploy the larger "Sora" version to the public due to potential backlash from Hollywood, or because they don't have enough GPUs for that. Interestingly, One of OpenAI's newest board members works at Paramount, so maybe that is Hollywood restricting the model's full capabilities.

woaw ! 4:20 the bit you chose shows Aditya Ramesh having a serious panick attack it seems. I haven't seen the actual itw, people have probably ccmmented a lot about that. The 2 other ones are very pale, must be tough working on Sora

Exciting times 🚀

👋 looking forward to this

1:31 That's the coolest camera .......I want one! 😉

SHOW-1 is quite nice model. It's instant lofi film look. Didn't even knew who made it 😂

Can sora animate image, or is it just pure prompt/text to animation? If you need to work with image, I think EMO is better, cant wait for its release

I believe the footage that openai is showing is a real thing, I see so many AI mistakes such as cars driving on all sides of the roads, direction etc. you do see glitches but compared to pikalabs or runway this is soo much better, it will get even more amazing including sound effects, voice and lipsync features.. my prediction based on the market and industry developments. what we see happening over and over is that they release the tech in smaller plugins(companies) such as free AI discord image/video/audio/animation generator platforms, where we the people actually collectively train the next beast.(been happeing ever since google/AI) so expect generators in these categories to improve in the next few months, even generators that will combine(all in one) for a better end result, longer stable clips, more control etc. I think the next step then will be end 2024 that we see a first Sora release(alpha/beta) which will rely heavily on the GPT 5 model soon to be released... if we want AI we need to stop complaining about copyrights.. if we look past that creative entitlement(training data) and see it as our collective creative baby that will serve us all, the horizon is broader and brighter than one can imagine.. using AI has boosted my knowledge, the more I use it the more i learn as it teaches me it explains everything and answers all of my questions no matter how much I keep asking... the next generation will be so freaking smart "it aint even funny"😉

Sora - in VR - LIVE..evolving...at 120 fps at 4K resolution with multiplayer will be fun '')

Not anytime soon could mean a few months as well. Just because somebody says not anytime soon does not mean any longer than a few months. A few months from now is definitely not anytime soon in itself. They could be meaning like anytime within the next few weeks. I don't see anything fishy about that statement, neither does it contradict the other interview

I wasn't expecting such a thorough investigative exposé, great info Tim

Imagine ai imagines how a gravity device should look like

Even as a project lead it doesnt mean you are in the know when it comes to release dates. There are people above you making that decision.

That interview was funny but the comments section of the WSJ upload are hilarious.

Its been a year since the release of ai image creation and still they don't have a polished version of this You can easily identify ai images with some minute mistakes I agree with you, whenever sora gonna release,it isn't gonna be what people are expecting it to be "Below 1080p videos of max 15sec with major flaws and infinite generation time"" These are my expectations from it (Sorry for my English,im not a native speaker)

Next, they need to reveal the officila release date for Chat GPT-4 Turbo.

6:54 That's been a lot of my effort with all image AI's........to guide them to create unusual things that we don't see in the real world ...... kinda like that awesome cheese pirate ship of yours! I routinely prompt for AI's to create realistic looking things that just wouldn't or couldn't be found on earth. One of the trickiest has been to get a realistic looking Great Wall of China gradually morphing into a giant serpent-like dragon. With Dall-E 3 and only just VERY recently with MJ have I gotten decent, though sporadic, results. It's apparently a serious challenge still for AI's to get consistently good results with such a concept and I've tried many different prompts.

Young man. I’ll have you know that if you are in 1958 with a super8 camera, you are shooting a format that wasn’t introduced until the next decade. I was there.

OpenAI keeps surprising us. In fact, I think the entire AI world keeps shocking us. I'm not saying it's coming soon. But if they release it next week. Boom💥 there you go.

wait wait wait we won't be able to make 1080p? but somehow this is supposed to put VFX artists out of business. news flash: we work in 4k and can actually do revisions.

I think AISphere is the company that owns PixVerse, no?

Cool 🙃

If it is so expensive to replace sora at its full capacity, why not just have a enterprise level tier? If it saves a film company a shoot it could be worth hundreds or conceivably thousands of dollars a second to them.

720p is HD, 1080p is full HD.

How much do you think it will cost? :) Some good AI monthly fees are too expensive

I want to know the release date 😍

Go Tim

There's a lot of coping and pretending that "this is as good as it gets" in this video. You're crazy if you think it ends here. Give it 2 years and come back to this video and see if you still feel the same way.

Watch Sora dissapoint the astro-high expectations. Create with tools we have now. Being ahead of the curve, is a badge of honor.

720p isn’t SD. I’m expect someone commenting on video to know this basic fact! 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's crazy how hyped everyone is to have an AI slave that will do their bidding. Slavery 2.0 is starting out quickly.

Look at the flappy towel foot under the guys butt😂 7:19

These examples were considerably less impressive that almost all the other videos they have shown, I wonder if they are stepping it back a little to allow it to be released, surely pushing videos so early to drill up hype to then take another year + doesn't make business sense?

5:40 three people at table do not look as real as Sora

I dont think Sora will be able to keep up with consumer demand. It requires tremendous computing power to generate a video with the quality of Soras video previews. OpenAI even nerfed GPT4 because it could not keep up with consumer demand, and thats just a text model. A video model is 1000x times more compute hungry. I think the Sora released to the public with be nerfed so bad that it will be only slightly better than the current runway and Pika.

Yes, there is still a lot of ugliness, unnatural, amusing or repulsive video footage. But AI is developing very quickly, and we live in the same amazing time as our ancestors did 120 years ago, at the dawn of aviation.

mákina!!!

These sora video’s seem to appear worse and worse… is it just me?

This information is truly shocking! Lol. Really tho, it very well could get more affordable. Intel just announced a new chip that's designed to for AI and is apparently really fast. Plus, nvidia has released fairly new tech to double the generation times. Additionally, i reckon if they can all manage to implement the 0shot accuracy claude is showing, we'll see some massive improvements. I hear as it is right now a 4090 with the right software, can generate real time images at 60fps. Imagine a generative "portal" into another dimension, on the next generation of phones or ar headsets. It's real life still but it's not. Lol. You can have it cell shaded. Black and white sketched. Take your pick. Future's going to be crazy. Thanks for all the info about the other video projects. Good to know. 🤟

There is no release date. .

It will be behind not so open AI paywall so meh.

People are legit not understanding what their doing. With these AI, people will start losing jobs and won’t be able to pay for things. And that’s a problem because if we don’t have jobs and can’t have money. That will break our whole system since we will have to make new rules and not have to pay for anything. That is able to cause a lot of chaos. Even if there should be a law for you not to take the whole store for free, it’ll still cause everything to go out of stock with the rapid pace of everyone taking things from stores instead of working hard for it. But the small good side of this is that it’s only art and film making. But for me that is not good at all since I want to become a manga artist. And there are people that want to make films. These people could lose their job or already lost them. And another bad part about this is that people could take advantage of this AI and possibly frame others for crimes. Which can lead to people getting arrested and people can also get hurt if others believe in the fake video footage and attack the person for something they DIDNT do. The creators of this new AI should start thinking about the consequences of creating a super realistic AI. And it’s pretty simple for them to understand all of these reasons and consequences since they are smart enough to understand how to make an AI that is this advanced.

haiper = sora

Murati is one of the least competent CTOs I've seen in my life. She barely has any knowledge about anything. How the heck did she become a CTO without having the experience or education in the field? She's not even good at communication. All she does is spewing hot air all the time. Sora is just another marketing catch. The amount of computing power along with the insane cost will be the two main road blocks for it to become a successful product. Just like Devin. Everyone's talking about it, but a prompt that runs for 15 minutes burning a few million tokens will cost a fortune and that thing has a success rate of 13%...

Mira could not even answer the basic questions...like where was your data taken for images and video references....essentially SORA scrapped and stole everything from the web.

Ooof, "Publicly Available" does not mean it's not copywritten or owned by someone else, it's a good thing OpenAI is generating money b/c they're going to be paying through the nose for lawsuits. I don't think this is going to go the way they expect, ChatGPT & Sora have the "Walmart Problem". So, with Millenials, Zoomers, Alphas, outside of the tech-bro sphere, generated content like Sora is viewed as "Cheap" and like "Oh, you're broke? You couldn't afford to make a proper thing?" Then there's also the current state of entertainment, most people are bored, everything seems derivative, predictable, paint by numbers, b/c creatives aren't driving the work, executives with algorithms are. At first glance I was worried about Sora's capabilities, but it's both imperfect & too perfect in the wrong ways, it'll never substitute the real thing/artists. Even now, only weeks in, Sora stuff seems stale, predictive, a fleeting novelty. Like, I don't think they understand the market & what the majority of humans want, they want things/products produced with care by other humans, entertainment dreamt up by visionaries, AI & Robots while impressive, will fall short.

Uncensored

seqs

could y'all also do a report on the lawsuit Elon Musk made 2 week ago, against Microsoft (who had all the OpenAi board members fired and replace them with hand pick microsoft staff, with no Ai expertise), Sam Altman ( evil scientist, manipulate Musk and stole OpenAi from him), gregory brockman, helen toner(advistor of GovAi), adam d'angelo (ceo Quora) OpenAI,inc OpenAi Q* ??

It's strange, I haven't heard any discussions about how much Sora's annual subscription will cost... I believe they will be very high prices.

Mira’s zero F given approach is so refreshing

Does that mean we will get better porn.

It's disturbing that the CTO would pretend to not know whether their flagship product was trained on KZfaq videos or not.

Just saying... Her body language when asked those questions tell me she would be terrible at poker. On a separate note, ya know when you watch a super heavy CGI movie, and you kinda disconnect from it because you know it isn't real? I guess we need to prepare to feel that way with every fricken video on the internet soon. All prank videos, nature videos, history videos, movies, politics videos, you name it, all belief will be cast aside. Prepare for the death of youtube and a return of going to visit friends and family to get a slice of reality. I know most people won't believe this, but when the other 6.5 million people on the planet can suddenly make cinema quality videos, shit's gonna get spooky real fast.

That bull was rubbish, The nose ring was in its mouth
