I'm thrilled to have directed this epic hype film.
All shots were generated with Sora Pro using one reference frame, offering a glimpse into the future where creators have no excuses. Your taste and will are your only limits.
@Dimillian Would love to be able to drag chat as context into new convo inside remote? Maybe copy chat link or something. I just want to be able to do it same as desktop!
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

GRIM MATH: The building collapsing in the background is an almost unsurvivable event for the hundreds of people who were likely inside at the time. Hundreds of buildings like that collapsed in the Venezuelan earthquake.
Someone said it in Spanish, but I'll say it in English so that as many people as possible know: Venezuelans currently don't have aid and are unprepared for this because the regime has stolen all the resources that guarantee the security and stability of the Venezuelan people
Es la peor catástrofe en un siglo en Venezuela y no tenemos Estado, no tenemos servicios de emergencia, no tenemos comunicación oficial, tenemos redes sociales bloqueadas, medios en las mismas condiciones, la infraestructura hospitalaria destruida, igual ambulancias y cuerpos de bomberos.
No hay palabras.
Oigan @usembassyve exijan a Delcy y CONATEL levantar el bloqueo de X y de medios de comunicación, la información oportuna puede salvar vidas. Es una emergencia nacional.
I'm a traditional artist and film industry professional who now also builds AI tools for the film industry, so I think I have some unique perspective to offer here.
Every single person I consult with points out that AI is useful to them in the domains that support them, but will certainly never be able to operate in their specific role.
What this means is that Directors will use AI for research, for concepts, boards etc, but AI will never direct.
Storyboard artists will see the benefits of using AI to create their films, because 'storyboarding is the real craft', and directing is just putting it on camera.
Researchers will use AI to collate the data into a digestable form, but AI will never research.
Writers will use AI to do research, but AI will never write.
Each the master of their domain, supported by any technology that can aid them in THEIR vision. It's the goal, and the agency that is retained, not the interplay between roles.
Everything else is a supporting act that can "obviously" be automated or streamlined.
Behind the scenes, of course, to support this you must build general intelligence that can handle - to some reasonable degree - the entire pipeline end to end. It's only from this place that each individual can insert themselves back in to conduct the orchestra in their own unique way.
It's my personal opinion that AI is a collaborative medium first and foremost, and that you want to bring your collaborators into your latent space to maximise the human surface area. Like so many people holding up a canopy.
But it's still fascinating to me that everyone's perception of the "irreplaceable human spirit" generally begins and ends at their own passions.
So yes, of course AI "may be useful" for VFX because VFX isn't this director's domain.
And he will gladly accept the title of "defender of humanity" while acknowledging that SOME roles (certainly not his) may be usefully augmented by AI.
Rest assured that everyone feels the same. The only honest anti-AI position here is that you will use AI where it elevates you, and reject it where it usurps you.
An arguably more objective position is that AI allows people the option to choose to collaborate with any number of people from any set of diverse skills, knowing that you can still ship an outcome from that specific configuration of talent and budget.
And that of course you will honour your creative collaborators and use the technology only where it helps bridge the gap between collaborators, and between the human experience of the creator and of the audience.
