Users express surprise, delight, and disgust with viral Sora clips, as some warn of IP theft and that Cameos could lead to new kinds of misinformation and scams
and terrifying. X: Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz : 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. Dr. Émile P. Torres / @xriskology : It's a symptom of brain rot, obviously. Adam D'Angelo / @adamdangelo : 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. Rohan Sahai / @rohanjamin : 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 PJ Ace / @pjaccetturo : Lmao, Sam Altman stealing art from Miyazaki in the Studio Ghibli HQ. Sora 2 is wilddddddd. [video] Matthew Belloni / @mattbelloni : 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 : 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. Harrison Kinsley / @sentdex : 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. Chester / @chesterzelaya : the internet just gave us the ultimate filter: creator or consumer. which side are you on, anon? [image] Neil Turkewitz / @neilturkewitz : 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. Will Manidis / @willmanidis : 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 : 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] Bilawal Sidhu / @bilawalsidhu : Obsessed with Rick and Morty explaining 3D Gaussian Splatting. Sora 2 nails it - and yes they really are training on everything by default. [video] Reid Southen / @rahll : 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. Drew Olanoff / @yoda : good. reminds me of the early youtube days before and after google acquired them. but these are way higher stakes. Sam Altman / @sama : 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. Rat King / @mikeisaac : 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... Rat King / @mikeisaac : 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] Rat King / @mikeisaac : 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/... Threads: Venkatesh Thallam / @vthallam : The Cameo feature that lets you create a clone of yourself in 30 seconds and create videos of you in different scenarios is probably the only reason Sora took off. If they launched the same tech without anchoring onto this usecase, don't think nobody would have cared. Being good at product stuff is a super power. See also Mediagazer
