  sora is number 1 in the app store! it's been epic to see what the collective creativity of humanity is capable of so far. team is iterating fast and listening to feedback. feel free to drop us feature requests! (we're sending more invite codes soon, i promise!) [image]

• @taylorlorenz Taylor Lorenz on x

  Someone gave my psychotic stalker an invite to Sora and he's already making AI videos of me. Thankful that Sora has the option to block and delete unapproved content with my image. This is a dangerous man who runs hundreds (yes hundreds) of accounts dedicated to me.

  It's a symptom of brain rot, obviously.

• @adamdangelo Adam D'Angelo on x

  I think “slop” is a great term in the current moment, but I also expect it will become dated within a few years as AI improves and its output generally gets to fewer inaccuracies than the human-created material it is compared against.

• @rohanjamin Rohan Sahai on x

  2 more thoughts on slop: 1 - When new tech gets democratized, everyone jumps in and plays. When DAWs hit, I and many others made stuff existing musicians would've called slop. It wasn't good, but it was a gateway to real creation, and the best artists still rose above. 2 - When

  Lmao, Sam Altman stealing art from Miyazaki in the Studio Ghibli HQ. Sora 2 is wilddddddd. [video]

• @mattbelloni Matthew Belloni on x

  No big deal, I'm just making personalized videos on Sora with my favorite copyrighted characters owned by Disney and Amazon/Netflix and featuring an identifiable actress who is definitely not getting paid for this.... [video]

• @smokeawayyy @smokeawayyy on x

  Sora 2 is funny because sometimes you get an output that's indistinguishable from a phone recording and other times you get a left to right pan across a DALL-E 3 jpeg.

• @sentdex Harrison Kinsley on x

  sora 2 is one of the first pieces of ai tech where I am truly amazed and impressed and in total awe of how good it is. but also repulsed by it and have no interest in using it or seeing it.

• @chesterzelaya Chester on x

  the internet just gave us the ultimate filter: creator or consumer. which side are you on, anon? [image]

• @neilturkewitz Neil Turkewitz on x

  Reposting this from 2022. My, how far we have come in addressing the rot at the heart of generative AI, amirite? Now, consent & human dignity are the framework in which the AI industry operates.

• @willmanidis Will Manidis on x

  if you genuinely believed you were 2-4 years away from AGI, is Sora slop really the thing you'd release?

• @jason_kint Jason Kint on x

  If that's the most interesting thing to you then wow... not to mention, he's granting “permission to use his likeness” while he and his company may well commit the largest IP theft in the history of copyright by failing to comply with existing law. [image]

• @bilawalsidhu Bilawal Sidhu on x

  Obsessed with Rick and Morty explaining 3D Gaussian Splatting. Sora 2 nails it - and yes they really are training on everything by default. [video]

• @rahll Reid Southen on x

  The fact that OpenAI is making money from this is straight up illegal. This isn't fair use, this isn't “inspiration”, this is blatant plagiarism and copyright infringement. A reckoning is coming.

• @yoda Drew Olanoff on x

  good. reminds me of the early youtube days before and after google acquired them. but these are way higher stakes.

• @sama Sam Altman on x

  it is way less strange to watch a feed full of memes of yourself than i thought it would be. not sure what to make of this.

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  OpenAI's policies appear to be a pushback on this blanket opt-out decision, asking rights holders to either report posts using unauthorized IP in the app or to use their copyright dispute form to *individually* opt out of each use of IP going to be an interesting week ahead...

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  and re: OpenAI's Sora app, Hollywood's agencies are already mobilizing WME sent out a memo internally stating that all of its talent agents have told OpenAI to opt their clients and IP holders out of Sora on a blanket-level basis w/ @nicsperling [image]

  48 hours with Sora, the social network Meta, Google and X want to create, but with an extremely powerful new AI model early adopters are loving it. everyone else — from hollywood to disinfo world — is freaking out w/ @elitanjourno https://www.nytimes.com/...

  I unfortunately don't know much about mobile app and desktop software dev so I'm genuinely asking: WHY DO ALL COMPANIES RELEASE iOS/macOS PRODUCTS FIRST/ONLY??? How hard is it to release Android and Windows versions of your product? Recent example is the Sora app, which is

• @benhylak Ben on x

  1. it's a lot harder 2. there's pretty much no point. android users are poor.

• @theo @theo on x

  Fun fact with Sora: you can screw with other people's prompts if they tag you for a cameo [image]

• @benhylak Ben on x

  prediction: within two months, it'll be clear that Sora is a failure as a social app. it'll still be used extensively for generating short-form content though.

• @alexeheath Alex Heath on x

  It turns out that people may not mind AI slop as long as they can be part of it with their friends. That Meta, the most successful social media company in history, apparently did not understand this, while OpenAI did, is striking. [image]

• @johnohallman John Hallman on x

  AI-based feeds are scary. I won't deny that I felt some concern when I first learned we were releasing Sora 2. That said, I think the team did the absolute best job they possible could in designing a positive experience. Compared to other platforms, I find myself scrolling way

• @boazbaraktcs Boaz Barak on x

  I share a similar mix of worry and excitement. Sora 2 is technically amazing but it's premature to congratulate ourselves on avoiding the pitfalls of other social media apps and deepfakes. I'm happy with a number of aspects: visible watermarking when exporting, real humans

• @willdepue Will Depue on x

  Sora 2 is out! I'm incredibly impressed that despite Sora 1 setting a ridiculous bar — as the largest jump in video capability basically ever — Sora 2 somehow matches up here. For people that played around a lot with Sora 1, it didn't feel clear that Sora really ‘understood’

• @miles_brundage Miles Brundage on x

  There are many legit reasons to be concerned about video generation tech IMO. But conflating video generation as a whole with slop is a mistake, just as it was with text generation. “Not all generated videos” but unironically, and the distinction is important.

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  this new OpenAI video app is going to be a thing very fast. people need to brace for how scary-quickly the verisimilitude of using your likeness in videos is improving if my middle-aged peer group can't tell i posted an AI selfie video, Facebook boomers are defenseless

  Man, imagine being Mark Zuckerberg, spending billions to build a slop machine, only for another slop machine to out-slop you just days later.

• @carnage4life Dare Obasanjo on bluesky

  Started using the Sora app and it's like TikTok for AI generated videos.  —  I used to think it would take a year or two for AI videos to become as popular as influencer content on social media but I can see this app causing that to happen by the end of the year.

  I want to believe AI slop is just harmless goofs, and while it's early days on OpenAI's Sora social app, I agree with JA Westenberg: If You Let Your Kid Use Sora, You're A Bad Parent.  —  “These apps are not neutral.  They are not tools that can be molded by “responsible” use.” h…

• @awilkinson Andrew Wilkinson on x

  I think OpenAI just killed TikTok. I'm already laughing my head off and hooked on my Sora feed. And now, the #1 barrier to posting (the ability to sing/dance/perform/edit) is gone. Just 100% imagination. RIP theater kids 🪦

• @hernanlopez Hernan Lopez on x

  But it's Amazon's, Disney's and Netflix's fault for not opting out before they even knew they had to opt out right?

• @stretchedwiener @stretchedwiener on x

  Yet more evidence for the lawsuits, thank you Amira. Trained on stock photography without permission or compensation to compete with the photographers in the same market. “Stop paying for stock photos” Keep them coming, the lawyers are watching.

• @javilopen Javi Lopez on x

  Why is nobody talking about this? Sora 2 tends to copy actual songs from major IPs, even without being prompted. And the music industry isn't known for leaving things unresolved without multi-million-dollar lawsuits 😑 [video]

• @growing_daniel Daniel on x

  You guys don't realize this makes Sam Altman untouchable. Who knows what insane real videos exist of him. People will dismiss it as sora without even blinking now, he has total impunity irl.

  wow thats insane it's almost like Halo gameplay footage must be in it's training data without permission

• @richmond_lee Art-Eater on x

  GenAI is quite literally the death of art. It's one of the worst things to ever happen to the arts. It's a creative dead end. It's powered by stolen valor. It's whole point is to remove humans from the creative process. It sucks and I'm happy whether I see real humans shit on it.

• @ednewtonrex Ed Newton-Rex on x

  If you're feeling depressed about the Sora 2 release, imagine how OpenAI employees who joined to ‘cure all diseases’ are feeling

• @djaxx Denver Jackson on x

  So can I just make a marvel movie right now unless marvel comes to me telling me they want to opt out?

• @georgecrudo George Crudo on x

  i got into sora 2 and the only conclusion I can draw is openai is trying to get sued. this is like 99% of what it shows you immediately upon entering the app [image]

• @xriskology Dr. Émile P. Torres on x

  Remember when OpenAI was screaming about DeepSeek having committed intellectual property theft? Lolz.

• @chaidingari Chai Dingari on x

  Paramount spent this year fighting their own creators, firing Colbert etc... but won't take on @OpenAI shamelessly stealing their content?

• @j_bertho Jonathan Berthold on x

  Not only is this clearly IP theft, but it's soulless & not even close to being funny.

  The release of Sora seems like a good time to remember what Suchir Balaji said about his former company I wish he were still with us today. https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]

• @larrymatovina Larry Matovina on x

  Every clip I've seen of Sora 2 has lead me to these exact conclusions. 1) Sora 2 is an incredible waste of everything in every way imaginable. Just pure garbage. 2) This thing is such a blatant copyright infringement on...everything...that it surely can't be ignored. Right?
