Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I am convinced at this point that Sora is an unfinished mess and the only reason they pushed it out the door is because they needed money.
Didn’t Sammy go grifting in the UAE shortly after?
And then two of their developers alluded that it’s unfinished and said it won’t be released anytime soon, just for their CTO to shut them down two days later and saying, No, no, it’s totally coming later this year.
They could’ve made it do something cool and novel, like a cat riding a pink unicorn fighting dragons. Or probably not, because it can’t do that, so instead they made it their selling point how good it can fake reality during an already juicy election season and applauded themselves for it.
I'm still seeing the same exact issues to a lesser degree in newer models too, which were way more obvious in earlier models. Often by just the "AI smear" (as I like to call it), I can tell AI generated images from the real thing, then I notice the smeared together objects, hands with 6+ fingers (which often are smeared together with other objects), background break, etc.
For me, it tends to be the way stuff is lit. Artists make lighting mistakes too, but the ones AI makes feel more consistent, and different. At least I think that's what usually tipps me off.
