Dude has been my spiritual animal for the past year.
Noping out.
Here’s my response to this news:

There are plenty of great lists out there. Enjoy those films. Boycott AI slop.
Support independent media and guerilla film making.
Make your own movies.
Do not spend a dime on slop.
exactly, if they can make ai slop movies, I might as well just make my own and disregard their shit. at least it'll be curated to my own tastes lol
Yes!!
I think you’ve just convinced me to put my money where my mouth is. Ed Woods… here I come.
Here's my suggestion! https://www.filmsfatale.com/blog/2021/6/7/the-best-100-documentaries-of-all-time
Some amazing, amazing films in there. Look through the Criterion collection too
Pirate em! And release your movies for free (maybe not on youtube) and reject the commodification of art.
Presently Ken Burns’ AMERICAN REVOLUTION streams for free. Highly recommend.
That reminds me I still need to watch Emilia Perez so I can see what people are on about.
I see the mouse is still at it.
Ah another billion, that will do it!
Seriously, sora is impressive for what it does, 10 second text to speech models. You cannot make movies with text to speech. You will never get a consistent face, expression, anything. By definition they are unpredictable.
So you train some Loras to try to get a consistent face, but then the model only can make that face. So you can't have 2 people in the video.
So you get into advanced sectioning of frames and you generate then you replace person A with this face and person B with that face.
And then we haven't even gotten into backgrounds, consistent sets, or anything.
And they want to make a whole damn movie with it.
At this stage, it's literally easier to learn real film editing than it is to prompt engineer 1 minute of continuous footage.
1 billion ain't enough mouse.
The deal isn't about making movies, at least for now. It's about allowing users on Disney + to make 10 second clips of them swinging a light saber at Darth vader or whatever
Honestly even stupider waste of money.
Not only a stupider app, but shouldn't Sora/OpenAI be paying Disney then?
Why though?
Same thing as it always is: MONEY.
so. kingdom hearts movie then?
There a a lot of "Billion"s being bandied around AI, and I feel like we have become a bit desensitized to it.
For $1 Billion, you could permanently and comfortably house 70,000 people.
(based on average US housing price and household size)
How do you plan to permanently and comfortable house 70,000 people for a 1 time payment of $14,285.71
