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.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

it looks like sora is going absolutely awful for OpenAI. brought to you by the distinguished poster in this thread who made an account here just to post OpenAI’s sora marketing material (and opinions derived from it), which prompted me to check on how the pivot to video is going for the US Plagiarism Machines & Mediocre Men corporation

This linked interview of Brian Merchant by Adam Conover is great. I highly recommend watching the whole thing.

For example, here is Adam, decribing the actual reasons why striking writers were concerned about AI, followed by Brian explaining how Sam Altman et al hype up the existential risk they themselves claim to be creating, just so they can sell themselves as the solution. Lots of really edifying stuff in this interview.

Put it this way: The company putting out the product creates an ethics board which warns that the product is too good should ring alarm bells.
