    Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one. Unless you’re some disappointed investor.

    For me, with no stake in this, it’s fun. A bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.

    In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.

    Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.

      Agree, the video clearly is not meant to win an Oscar, it’s just a tech showcase. If you know what you’re looking at it’s pretty intense what it can do right now, but the amount of frothing hate from the writer of this article is just super eyerolly. They can’t even try to understand why anyone would be interested in it, or why it was made, or what it’s meant to do. Can’t even try to be neutral, just pure hate.

      The initial demonstration clips of Sora were eerie and low-resolution, with bizarre movement and physics. The video generation model was almost certainly trained on mountains of stolen content and sucked up an excessive amounts of power and water.

      Great, good points. Super douchey delivery. Same energy as vegans who just have to bring up the atrocities of the meat industry in the smug “I’m better than you” style. Super job, valid points. Learn how to deliver them in a way that people will actually listen to.
