I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here: It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role. The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus. Generated videos are very short, with minimal controls. The only selectable option is picking between landscape and portrait mode. There is no mention or attempt to move towards long form videos, storylines, advanced editing/controls/etc, like others in this space (eg Google Flow). Seems like they want to turn this into AITok. Edit: regarding accurate physics ... check out these two videos below... To be fair, Veo fails miserably with those prompts also. https://sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68dc32c7ddb081919e0f38d8e006163d https://sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68dc32c7ddb081919e0f38d8e006163... https://sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68dc3339c26881918e45f61d9312e955 https://sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_68dc3339c26881918e45f61d9312e95... Veo: https://veo-balldrop.wasmer.app/ballroll.mp4 https://veo-balldrop.wasmer.app/ballroll.mp4 https://veo-balldrop.wasmer.app/balldrop.mp4 https://veo-balldrop.wasmer.app/balldrop.mp4 Couldn't help but mock them a little, here is a bit of fun... the prompt adherence is pretty good, at least. NOTE: there are plenty of quite impressive videos being posted, and a lot of horrible ones also.

That seems like an awful use of technology like this. I would imagine they mean to use that for serving ads, but how do you even generate conversations with ai slop plus product placements? I could see it working sometimes but I doubt it scales.

I posit this is the real story. OpenAI did not stealthily release Sora 2 to the image and video ELO ranking leaderboards ahead of time as is now somewhat tradition. This model is probably designed to run fast and cheap as a social play. Emphasis on putting you and your friends into popular franchises and IPs. OpenAI probably has a totally different model for their Hollywood-grade VFX. One that's too expensive to offer $20/mo consumers. - - - - - EDIT: Oh my god, OpenAI literally just disrupted TikTok: https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973071380842229781 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973071380842229781 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973122324984693113 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973122324984693113 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973121891926942103 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973121891926942103 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973120058907041902 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973120058907041902 (potentially dangerous ... ) https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973111654524264763 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973111654524264763 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973090475486879818 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973090475486879818 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973110596825653720 https://x.com/GabrielPeterss4/status/1973110596825653720 (is this the same model?

Something even Google Veo couldn't do. It's not the best looking video model, but it has everything else -- rich editing, good voices and lipsync, music and lyrics, animation (cartoon, 3D, anime), SFX. It's wild. The videos aren't single clips but rather complete beginning-middle-end stories that unfold over several cuts.
some-guy 1y ago
My opinion is that unless there is some insane breakthrough in power efficiency with video generation, or if energy costs go down to zero, there is no way such a thing actually becomes profitable at the scale of scrolling TikTok. It is far more power efficient (and cheaper) to have people post their own content.
- freedomben 1y ago
  There have been some big breakthroughs with hardware, though I'm on mobile and can't provide a link currently. I expect it to take done time to get into production though. Also I suspect that this won't stay free very long. Silicon valley loves the model of starting free to build a user base and then monetizing more later
- eru 1y ago
  I'm not sure you need a 'breakthrough', just many incremental improvements will do the trick. We are also getting better at producing cheap power. For example thanks to intermittent sources like solar and wind, in many places electricity often becomes free in wholesale markets some times of the day. AI generation (including video) currently takes at least a second, and users expect that delay. So that means inference is not latency sensitive and you can put these data centres anywhere in the world, wherever power is cheapest. Model training cares even less about latency. At the moment, the hardware itself is too expensive (and nvidia has long backlogs), so people run them even when power is expensive. But you can easily imagine an alternative future where power never becomes cheaper than today (on average), but we have lots of AI data centres lying in wait around the world and only kicking into full gear when and where power is essentially free.
  - ipaddr 1y ago
    We are not getting better at producing cheaper power as the cost has increased per hour a lot over the last 50 years. But we are generating more power from different sources that are cleaner. Power needs to be given away or people paid to take it is more of a function of limited storage abilities and limited ability to scale down rather then generating unlimited power. The free power is an issue with how the system is built (and the type of power source) rather than a sign of success. The same area has to import power at higher costs when the sun or wind isn't as powerful.

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network No need to guess; In the article they say that the purpose: We first started playing with this “upload yourself” feature several months ago on the Sora team, and we all had a blast with it. It kind of felt like a natural evolution of communication—from text messages to emojis to voice notes to this. So today, we’re launching a new social iOS app just called “Sora,” powered by Sora 2. Inside the app, you can create, remix each other’s generations, discover new videos in a customizable Sora feed, and bring yourself or your friends in via cameos. With cameos, you can drop yourself straight into any Sora scene with remarkable fidelity after a short one-time video-and-audio recording in the app to verify your identity and capture your likeness.
jplusequalt 1y ago
I have been saying this for a long time--generative art is just fine grained consumption. Instead of searching through YouTube/TikTok for content that may interest you, you can now just ask your LLM to generate what you want to see that moment. It's the next evolution of keeping the masses addicted to their devices, and we as software engineers are gleefully supporting this ... because?

As silly as I think all of these tools are, my eye tells me Sora is incrementally better at making short videos of red balls dropping into clear bowls. None of them are totally convincing, but the first Sora clip is easily the best of the bunch.

A social network nowadays is just an excuse for setting up training data collection though (and before anyone comments, yes, descentralized ones too).

Great. Someone now has to make a real video footage detector, so people don't fall for reverse-scams /s

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network No need to guess; In the article they say that the purpose: We first started playing with this “upload yourself” feature several months ago on the Sora team, and we all had a blast with it. It kind of felt like a natural evolution of communication—from text messages to emojis to voice notes to this. So today, we’re launching a new social iOS app just called “Sora,” powered by Sora 2. Inside the app, you can create, remix each other’s generations, discover new videos in a customizable Sora feed, and bring yourself or your friends in via cameos. With cameos, you can drop yourself straight into any Sora scene with remarkable fidelity after a short one-time video-and-audio recording in the app to verify your identity and capture your likeness.

I have been saying this for a long time--generative art is just fine grained consumption. Instead of searching through YouTube/TikTok for content that may interest you, you can now just ask your LLM to generate what you want to see that moment. It's the next evolution of keeping the masses addicted to their devices, and we as software engineers are gleefully supporting this ... because?

  Packing meth into tiny baggies pays someone's bills, too.

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. Makes sense. I hate it, but the timing is probably good for them to try. There's going to be a mass exodus from TikTok in the US at some point, and those people will land somewhere.

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. That's my first impression too after seeing the screenshots of the sora app.

As silly as I think all of these tools are, my eye tells me Sora is incrementally better at making short videos of red balls dropping into clear bowls. None of them are totally convincing, but the first Sora clip is easily the best of the bunch.

A social network nowadays is just an excuse for setting up training data collection though (and before anyone comments, yes, descentralized ones too).
