Reminds me of Continental Circus [1].

That one looks extremely fake... No one would mistake サーカス as circuit, which is usually written as サーキット and is pronounced completely different. Also, calling the sport and everything around it as "the F1 circus" is very common in Japan and other parts of the world.

How does it deal with wordplay and double entendre? As I understand, a lot of Japanese comedy is based on that.

You're worried about something that only comes up once every few thousands of sentences...

I'd be more worried because even the simplest and shortest sentences are horribly translated in those example pages.

Honest question: of what possible use could Sora be for Hollywood?

The results are amazing, but if the current crop of text-to-image tools is any guide, it will be easy to create things that look cool but essentially impossible to create something that meets detailed specific criteria. If you want your actor to look and behave consistently across multiple episodes of a series, if you want it to precisely follow a detailed script, if you want continuity, if you want characters and objects to exhibit consistent behavior over the long term – I don't see how Sora can do anything for you, and I wouldn't expect that to change for at least a few years.

(I am entirely open to the idea that other generative AI tools could have an impact on Hollywood. The linked Hollywood Reporter article states that "Visual effects and other postproduction work stands particularly vulnerable". I don't know much about that, I can easily believe it would be true, but I don't think they're talking about text-to-video tools like Sora.)

It wouldn't be too hard to do any of the things you mention. See ControlNet for Stable Diffusion, and vid2vid (if this model does txt2vid, it can also do vid2vid very easily).

So you can just record some guiding stuff, similar to motion capture but with just any regular phone camera, and morph it into anything you want. You don't even need the camera, of course, a simple 3D animation without textures or lighting would suffice.

Also, consistent look has been solved very early on, once we had free models like Stable Diffusion.

> This model completes tasks like code generation more thoroughly than the previous preview model and is intended to reduce cases of “laziness” where the model doesn’t complete a task.

How does one solve for this? Wrangling the prompt with "please don't be lazy", or are there inference tricks like running thru the weights differently/multiple times?

Karuma · 2 years ago
Maybe removing the lazy posts from the training data.

That game is from a second-party developer.

I mean, I'm running DALLE 3 on a browser from an old laptop and I've generated probably over 15k images in 2 weeks, spanning the gamut from memes to art to lewds (with jailbreaks). The ability to completely scrap what you're building and start totally fresh at the drop of a hat with a new line of ideas and get instant results seems pretty freeing to me.
Karuma · 2 years ago
With SD I can generate at least 15k images daily on my old laptop, I can train it with new styles, characters, real people, etc.; download thousands of new styles, characters, real people, etc. from Civitai, and best of all, never worry about ever losing access to it, being censored, having to jailbreak it, being snooped on, etc.

Plus a million other tools that the community has made for it, like ControlNet or things like AnimateDiff to create videos. I can also easily create all kinds of scripts and workflows.

The most interesting bit for me is that "he deciphered the Mayan script when he learned that the world scientific community considered it impossible."

This part is sadly very common in all sciences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Knorozov#Critical_reactio...

Real milk is bad for you now? Talk about being influenced by propaganda.
