I got a Pro license to the Sora LLM model recently, and my jaw has been on the floor for the last couple days. I feel like a lot of folks on this board who are older think "whatever, it won't really change anything" - I used to think that too. Until I actually experimented with it at-scale. I cannot stress how much of a game-changer it is. With the right prompts, you can basically create photorealistic (and I MEAN photorealistic) outputs. Guys, this technology is way, way, WAY more powerful than anyone has imagined. It is a total, total game-changer. Imagine your most picture perfect fantasy, in a totally photorealistic scenario of your choosing... the tech is already there. Like.. today. The film and tv industry is cooked.

Everything worth paying attention to takes effort to create. LLMs make it easy to start and to feel like you're doing something but it teaches you that you can get impressive results with no effort. The second you get to the part where more effort and attention is required from you to shape what you're generating into something larger and more coherent you will give up because of diminishing returns and the novelty value wearing off. People who are detached and lazy can't construct things, even if you're given the best tools in existence. You're psychologically deadlocked

there was an anon on here who made the point about dall-e that no matter what you prompted you wouldn't ever be able to get it to generate a person bent over, face upside down looking back at the camera through their legs.

nah, it's made SOME jobs obsolete, as technology always should. people (Hollywood, lots of the same people) will still make movies. they'll just be using AI.

CGI probably hurt the movie pyrotechnics industry. life goes on.

there are artists who can create amazing works on autopilot, though. even great performances, well-directed kinos... those guys often say "wasn't my best" but then it ends up that way (what does Kubrick consider his best flick? what about Orson Welles?)

People don't watch something because it took effort to create, they watch things because they're entertaining. LLMs still require effort because you have to actually imagine a scene, interesting plot, characters, and then carefully prompt it. Sure it's *easier* but there's still effort involved.

CGI already made stunts and sets and special effects all obsolete.
When was the last time you saw a car do a jump or a flip, without immediately assuming it was a just computer generated yawn?

this. i have never cared who did the CGI or costume design, for example.

PHYSICAL effort jobs have had HUGE strikes throughout history: farmers and miners. very direct demands, sometimes turned violent. ln the long term, they have all lost.

nobody is going to give a fuck about writers and artists. what is Hollywood meant to do? keep hiring them because...? why do those creatives not find other jobs? get a job in a warehouse or driving a taxi.

so... picnotrel?

The unfortunate truth is that everyone who is not Indian finds AI creepy and uninteresting
