But this is worse. We're talking about maybe millions of art and animation jobs lost to soulless automation that wastes water.

I figured these videos were likely costing a fortune to make, probably even more expensive than the numbers being thrown around. Seedance will run into the same issue ... a bunch of kids making stupid meme videos is all fun and games until you're bleeding billions of dollars to handle that much complex compute/rendering. 

Open AI will probably try Sora or something like it again though in the future, they are going to IPO soon and need to get their costs down otherwise the stock will struggle so this might just be temporary. 

But now it's a good win for traditional animators/traditional filmmakers. 

Cost billions?! But AI was supposed to save CEOs more money by cutting out artists, animators, writers, etc.

It's like saying Nintendo could save people so much money to buy more games by selling the Switch 2 for $100 ... like yeah sure, of course that would be great for the consumer who's in the market for a Switch 2. 

That also means Nintendo is the one on the hook for $300 loss/system. 

But I said CEOs, not customers.

Wonder if LeWM has anything to do with it. Sora was OpenAI's attempt at world modeling, but autoregressive generative models haven't shown to be as efficient/good as other architectures. 

Good, fuck AI slop and fuck OpenAI.

why should it shut down? all that needs to be done is to sell the company and cash out from the hard work
