<start>"Suddenly, the barbarians arrive" (that's the full prompt) Making veo 2 videos is fascinating - the results are often delightful and it does something interesting in the first outputs. But it is not very close to a replacement for traditional video work, it is less steerable & more serendipity. @emollick.bsky.social

<start>Folks, I purposely did not post a believable deepfake of a real person because I don’t want to spread believable deepfakes. I thought this was a fun illustration of how a real person can be added to a video with a text prompt, but it is easy to create ones of any people you like.

<start>Okay, veo2 from Google is pretty impressive. "Otter on a plane using wifi" produced both of these in the first batch of four (the others weren't bad either). Love the way they tap the screen. Sora offers a lot more control options & longer clips, so it is hard to compare, but they are the big 2 now @emollick.bsky.social

<start>More creative humans generate more creative output from AI image generators, as judged by other people. The effects are highly significant, but relatively modest, suggesting that human creativity matters in getting creative work from AI... but perhaps not as might be expected.

<start>So these past 8 days in AI saw: -The public release of the first post-ronnaFLOPS scale model (probably) in Gemini 2.0 Flash -The public release of the first unconstrained test-time compute model in o1-pro -The first small (and open!) model capable of GPT-4 level performance in Llama 3.3 I would say o1-pro expands the "intellectual" capabilities of AI by a lot, in quite narrow areas. Gemini (at least in Flash form) and Llama expand where smart models and be used, and dramatically lower cost, without necessarily increasing the capability frontier beyond the current one. @emollick.bsky.social

<start>Google has a knack for making non-chatbot interfaces for serious work with LLMs. When I demo them, both NotebookLM & Deep Research are instantly understandable and fill real organizational needs. They represent a tiny range of AI capability, but they are easy for everyone to get and use right away.

<start>An advantage of Sora is that it has high character consistency. I tried to replicate the demo video of the female viking warrior with: "female knight, face splattered in mud, swings a sword at a skeleton as the camera zooms in on her face" Note the complex mud patterns hold across 2 shots, but... Here's the second video generated in the pair. As you can see instruction following is only okay, and there is a tendency towards slow-motion action that you see everywhere. I would also like to see some of the same testing we saw about biases in image models for new video models. @emollick.bsky.social

Best of 2 videos This is a hard prompt, so look at consistency, reflections, etc @emollick.bsky.social

<start>It is kind of hard to do “serious” o1 demos that impress people who aren’t experts because they don’t have baseline expectations for expert human work in a field. That is why I tend to share examples that are more accessible. It doesn’t mean o1 can’t do real work (o1 isn’t flawless, though) @emollick.bsky.social

<start>The image output of all of the current models is even more disconnected from the model itself, the LLM is just prompting a seperate image generator (though that will change very soon with full multimodal). @emollick.bsky.social

<start>The vision capabilities of AI models often lag their other abilities. Great at text, often bad at intricate details in hard-to-predict ways. If you give the AI a picture of a geometry problem and it fails, it may just be the vision model, for example.
