There are ways around this. You could use a negative prompt of "empty, two-dimensional" to generate a story with more depth.

Can anyone here estimate what it costs OpenAI to generate, say, a 5 second video using Sora?

I asked for an image of an attractive man and received a lecture on how "focusing solely on physical appearance can be limiting and reductive". Instead, it said, it would offer me images of "men from diverse backgrounds and e

It doesn't strike you as hypocritical that they all talk about safety while continuing to push out tech that's upending multiple industries as we speak? It's tough for me to see it as anything other than lip service. I'd

They're attempting to guard themselves against incoming regulation. The big players, such as Microsoft, want to squash Stable Diffusion while protecting themselves, and they're going to do it by wielding the "safety is import

Well I think the issue here is that it was hesitant to generate white people in any context. You could request, for example, a Medieval English king and it would generate black women and Asian men. I don't think your criticism really a

I haven't counted but I feel like we probably have just as many words for snow as they do. Snow, slush, powder, hail, sleet, avalanche, blizzard etc.

Tim Draper was an early investor in Theranos, continued to defend them even after reports showed their product was bogus, and he's still worth over a billion dollars.

> not making anything that actually helps people or the world Didn't you see Sora?

by dorkwood 3y ago
Yep, now with the release of Sora we see that they're actually making the world a better and more creative place. People love to spout doom and gloom for no reason.

This looks like an attempt to build good will with the governments of the world so that their platforms don't get crushed by regulation in the coming years. And also a way to give their supporters ammunition to fight a total AI ban by

If it's so easy can you do it right now and show me the result? Hell, I'll even give you the whole day.

You're right, there's a very real danger that bad actors within OpenAI could hand their research to China. But that's not an inevitability. We've managed to block certain countries from developing nuclear weapons technol

That struck me as a line they added to drum up more funding.

Alcohol production didn't require massive amounts of funding, energy and compute power. Any shmuck could make moonshine in their bathtub. Shut down OpenAI and make their racket illegal, and who's going to have the resources to con

Becoming good enough at Photoshop to do a convincing face swap was something that took a lot of time and skill. Not everyone with a copy of Photoshop had the ability to create a compromising photo of a politician, for example.

No it's not. Imagine turning on the television when you get home and it's a show all about you (think Breaking Bad, but you're Walter White). You flip to another channel and it's a pornographic movie where you sleep with

Seems like we're pretty close to inserting ourselves into pornographic movies.

One very noticeable effect it has on me is a reduction in anxiety. Lifting weights close to failure for weeks on end tends to put my brain into a state of calm, where things affect me less. When I'm living a more sedentary lifestyle, s

I feel like he should be able to sue the cops for negligent infliction of emotional distress. Although from the article it looks like he already went to court once before and lost.

Yes, the article mentions each call costs $10,000. I'm guessing that's not the cost of fuel, so presumably some hazard payment is involved.

Can you give a brief summary? This is a three and a half hour podcast.

Can you explain more about this? I personally don't see anything wrong with what the original poster said, so I'd be curious to hear if I'm working with outdated information.

This method unfortunately falls apart if you get a phone call from a hospital. They'll leave you a voice message, but when you call the same number back you'll get the front desk instead of the doctor who left you the message. The

I see huge potential for NFT integration as well. Imagine buying a Mickey Mouse skin in Fortnight and being able to use it in one of Epic Games' other games too. Lots of possibilities.
