It's the creators' choice if they want to go that way. They could've used pose interpolation for quite a while. Going as far as Sora for it is an overkill. That doesn't solve the IP stealing issue in any way though.

Gelsinger had a long term realistic plan. He was out around 11 months ago. You can't magic a new GPU in that timeframe - those projects have 3+ years pipelines for CPUs. I assume GPU will be a bit shorter, but not that much. Whatever h

They're better at maths now, but you still shouldn't ask them maths questions. Same as spelling - whether they improve or not doesn't matter if you want a specific, precise answer - it's the wrong tool and the better it

Why bother testing though? I was hoping this topic has finally died recently, but no. Someone's still interested in testing LLMs for something they're explicitly not designed for and nobody is using them for this in practice. I re
