I mean, I’m as big a ML fans as you’ll find on Lemmy, but this is a slop machine to build some Altman hype.
A controllable, integrated version as a tool, with augmentations like VACE or SDXLs controlnet would be neat. Thats also great because it’s not so easy for 1 click zero effort automated spam, which is by far Sora’s largest market as is.
…And guess what. We have that, it’s neat already, it’s open weights, it’s improving, and it’s not so controversial/abused because there’s an actual tiny barrier of entry to using it, like Davinci Resolve vs instagram filters.
The less barriers to entry the better for something like this. Imagine all the people who have always wanted to make movies/tv shows but haven’t had the ability to who could use these tools to make pilots/trailer to sell to studios, or even create full series/movies to self-publish.
Trying to put barriers and “controls” in front of it purely because you don’t like that it can be used to make “slop” is dumb.
Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.
And take years to learn how to use well, compared to literally seconds of using an AI video generation tool. Then there’s the actual rendering and iteration, which can now be seconds versus hours/days.
Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.
People who want to make stuff will be able to make amazing stuff with ease with AI.
You AI haters are all so closed minded, only capable of thinking of the lowest common denominator. Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?
Because it’s incredible technology that can revolutionise the film/media industry.

And that’s why Sora sucks, because it’s censored, closed weights, totally opaque, largely toolless, and peddled like spam.
Sora is the very beginning, just the first step.
Well the first step was into a fucking cow pie, so that doesn’t bode well for the next one
Huh? The first step is basically immediate generation of video that looks real.
What on earth are you talking about?
First step is to make slop feeds full of bullshit.
You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.
People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.
You’ve never been able to make and iterate as quickly with as high quality as you can using current video generation AI tools. That’s fact.
What “e-waste tech” do you think you can make full scenes with realistic people and CGI with?
Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.
People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.
Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.
