oh come the fuck off it, OpenAI’s marketing presents sora as exactly a magic automate entire movie clip button. here’s OpenAI marketing the stupid thing as a world simulator which is fucking laughable if it can’t maintain even basic consistency. here’s an analysis of how disappointing sora actually is

tonight’s promptfans are fucking boring and I’m cranky from openai’s shitty sora page crashing my browser so I guess all you folks doing free marketing for Sam Altman can fuck off now

The results stands to appear technologically very impressive. This kind of thing was perceived as never to be possible and improves quickly.

No cameras, no physical shooting, no actors. Just a few creatives and something to compute.

like @[email protected] I am begging generative AI idiots to realize how out of touch “no cameras, no physical shooting, no actors” is as a supposed milestone when it applies equally well to Xavier: Renegade Angel… except Xavier looked fucked up on purpose

Tbh I find both acceptable, and not solely because I thought of the one. Current working mental taxonomy:

Fans: the internet weird-nerds choosing to be bodyshields for this shit absent any other reason whatsoever

Fondlers: those that write the thonkpieces as demonstrated elsethread (the infosec panic one)
