If you feel that the rapid advances in AI over the past two years have been simultaneously mind blowing and deeply disconcerting, I'm so sorry, it just got worse.

Yesterday, OpenAI revealed Sora, a text to video model that creates high res, legitimately photorealistic videos up to a minute long, leapfrogging every available AI video generator by leaps and bounds.

What is that, a frog pun?

We don't have time for this, this is crazy!

What about the kingdom hearts?

We'll get to that later.

Some clips like these ones are actually indistinguishable from real footage, even upon close inspection, apparently made using relatively simple prompts.

Other clips depict fairly compelling, unrealistic things like, three D animated characters and a paper craft coral reef.

As you do.

But of course, it's still an AI generator, which means there's plenty of your standard things shape shifting and phasing in and out of existence, as well as horrific human shaped simulacra struggling to operate their hand sausages.

Makes me feel at home.

So while a closer look can make the AI artifacting obvious, if you want your mind blown again, just compare Sora against its closest video generating competitor, Xehanort.

Kingdom Hearts?

I haven't played any of those.

His closest video generating competitor, Runway Gen Two, which can only generate up to eighteen seconds of what could be called realistic videos if you had your coffee this morning.

Sora can also animate still images and even interpolate two videos so they seamlessly blend together, which is big news for the Chameleon Bird hybrid fanbase.

They've been waiting a long time for this.

What would it look like?

Now we know.

With OpenAI CEO Sam Altman taking public prompt requests and posting the results, SoraClips took over Twitter.

And the magnitude of Sora's abilities have many netizens saying that, hey, maybe it's time to push that big red stop the AI now button that Altman says isn't real.

Speaking of Unreal, Sora's ability to sometimes accurately represent real world physics has many experts, including Dr. Jim Fan of NVIDIA, thinking that the model could have been trained on synthetic scenes created in Unreal Engine five, and or it could have the ability to simulate physics baked in.

Well, that would make sense of the fact that it can literally simulate what you would think is any other Minecraft video.

if not for the pig eventually flying backwards past the baby tree squid.

But honestly, even then it might pass.

Minecraft has gotten real Lovecraftian lately.

As usual, OpenAI is continuing to mock their own name by keeping details like training data behind closed doors, leaving us to wonder how they created a model whose glitchy mistakes still look pretty good, especially when the rest of the industry is still churning out whatever the hell this is.

Get that off, we didn't, hey, we didn't need to show that.

I don't.

There are kids watching.

Speaking of the rest of the industry, yesterday, Google also revealed a groundbreaking AI model that leapfrogs GPT IV in at least some ways, but which was completely overshadowed hours later by OpenAI's Sora announcement.

Because if the tech world is slowly learning one thing, it's that you do not fuck with Sam.

He'll control, alt, delete your ass.

Which is a shame, because Google's new Gemini One Point Five Pro has a context window, a term meaning how much data a model can access or be prompted with at once, of up to one million tokens, dwarfing GPT Four Turbo's one hundred and twenty eight thousand tokens, and Clawed Two Point One from Anthropx's two hundred thousand tokens.

That amounts to an hour of video, eleven hours of audio, or over seven hundred thousand words.

And Google said they even successfully tested up to ten million tokens and imagined testing even more than that, but then they were too excited to sleep, so they stopped.

I just can't wait for crypto.

Sundar, what if you could do ten million?

Shh, go to sleep.

Fed a four hundred and two page transcript of the Apollo eleven mission, Gemini one point five pro was able to find three comedic moments when prompted and could also find the right frame of a forty four minute long Buster Keaton movie.

Now it took thirty to sixty seconds to do that though and both of our reactions to that information reveals how spoiled we've become.

Google will roll out the new model to their Gemini Advanced chatbot soon, but another AI thing that's available right now is Meta's newly announced VGEPA, an open source method for teaching machines to understand and model the physical world by watching videos.

It can even predict what's happening when you leave a chunk of the image out, an ability robots are gonna need if they plan to ever get off their lazy exhaust ports and take over the world.

What are you waiting for?

Will they?

Won't they?

It's exhausting!

Seeing all these AI developments and not knowing how to feel, let's just end it.

Oh, I need to lie down.

There there, buddy.

I take my parental duties seriously.

The most recent version of Microsoft Edge has fixed a disconcerting issue that caused it to automatically import data from other browsers without user consent.

This was particularly disconcerting for users who had previously uninstalled Edge, only to find it opening upon startup with all of their Chrome tabs loaded, like some kind of unnerving single white female situation.

Microsoft has not commented on why this happened in the first place, but the patch notes say that the feature might not have been syncing and displaying correctly across multiple devices.

Unintended issues where Edge started cutting its hair the same way as Chrome and secretly wearing Chrome's clothes have now been fixed.

Apple has finally reinstated Epic Games' developer account, prompting the gaming company to confirm their previously announced plans to launch the Epic Games Store, and with it, Fortnite, back on iOS sometime in of the year.

Epic had their account banned in of the year after adding a direct purchase option for V Bucks in the iOS version of Fortnite, which led to the protracted legal battle that I made this tech longer about.

It took a long time.

But now, finally, Epic can look forward to paying Apple potentially even more money than they did, thanks to the tech giant allowing third party app marketplaces on iOS, bundled with a ridiculous set of rules and install fees.

Winning has never felt so much, not like winning.

According to a recent court decision, Canadian airline Air Canada,

We'll have to honor a refund promised by their customer service chatbot, which told a customer traveling to attend a funeral that he could apply for a bereavement discount retroactively.

Air Canada lost in court in part because the airline attempted to argue that it couldn't be held liable for information provided by one of its agents or representatives, thereby implicitly claiming that the chatbot was somehow a separate legal entity outside of its control.

Air Canada doesn't really know how far along AI is right now.

The ball's in your court, Air Canada.

Prove that your customer service bot is fully autonomous and sentient or you're paying that nine hundred dollars.

It's nine hundred dollars?

The University of Michigan has claimed it isn't selling student data to AI companies because that's now a fear in our super cool new tech dystopia.

An engineer at Google DeepMind shared a LinkedIn message they received stating the school is licensing academic speech data and student papers for AI training.

But the university wasn't selling data, a third party was on their behalf, which is so much better.

In their official statement, UMich, which is what I would call them if I attended there, said they asked the third party to halt their work, but that student data has never been for sale, which is

Kind of contradictory.

Besides, the data was already free for academics to use, but that's probably because professors don't have the type of pockets that Google does, deep ones, full of AI.

And scientists have invented beef rice.

No, it's not a meal for medium broke college students.

It's much worse.

Or better, depending.

Researchers grew animal muscle and fat cells inside grains of rice, potentially setting a record for the world's smallest burrito.

The scientists believe it could be the food of the future, since, per gram of protein, the creation would beat beef in terms of cost and carbon footprint if produced commercially.

They also say the beef muscle and fat added different odor compounds to the rice, but didn't mention taste.

Seems pretty important.

They don't need to.

Everyone is going to be eating it anyway once the new year rolls around.

Whether they like it or not.

And you better roll back around to this channel on Monday when we post a brand new Talk Linked.

That's right, it's going to have everything.

Talking, um, and...
