OpenAI Just Changed the Game with Sora Text to Video

Welcome to the AI Renaissance,

Today is a historic day in the world of AI.

Not only did OpenAI release a potentially game changing text to speech model, it is the first day of the AI Renaissance newsletter! This newsletter is for the artists, patrons, and builders of the AI Renaissance. We will provide you everything you need to know, the tools you have at your disposal, and the inspiration to get moving and participate in the coming Renaissance yourself!

Now… on to the other big news of the day:

After many months of anticipation we have been greeted to a new product announcement from OpenAI: Sora.

Sora is OpenAI’s text to video model, and it looks absolutely mind blowing.

This release has the potential to change the future of Hollywood, YouTube, and every other form of visual media we consume today. It’s that big.

Let’s dive in.

The One Big Thing

OpenAI’s Text to Video Model Sora is Changing the Game…Again

Whatever you think of him, you have to admit Sam Altman is great at his job.

Just a few days after rumours he wanted to raise $7 trillion for chip manufacturing, and on the same day as Google’s Gemini release, he drops the most anticipated product in the entire industry.

Per their release, “Sora is an AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.”

Of course OpenAI would be the ones to nail this. Who else?

Text to video has been the holy grail for generative AI for all of 2023 (a lifetime in this industry), with most attempts thus far leading to massive disappointments.

Who can possibly forget the generative Will Smith eating a pasta video?

If you thought ChatGPT was a game changer, Sora is going to reshape the way people behave altogether.

Not only will this massively disrupt every creative industry from film-making to 3D modeling, it will also accelerate the deep fake problem to the extreme present. Although OpenAI and any other text to video models that gain relevancy will block much of the unsavory content you’re imagining right now, the issue will be extremely present in people’s minds.

This technology is also much more likely to pull forward regulation. Whereas the limit of written text on the internet is that the average social media user can not read (only half joking), video is right up in your face.

The moment there are deep fakes of both presidential candidates in the upcoming US Election (soon), expect things to really hit the fan.

Until then, start playing around with the coolest technology we may have experienced in quite a while. Figuratively speaking of course, as there is no waitlist out yet.

Now it makes sense why Sam needs all that money for chips.
