Some behind the scenes of Sora 2! Thanks for having us on @jacobeffron
Jacob Effron@jacobeffron

Was really special to do the first long form interview with the Sora team on Unsupervised Learning. I sat down with @billpeeb, @turtlesoupy and @rohanjamin to discuss building the first big AI-native social network, getting such a massive amount of users to create and continuing progress in video models that will contribute to novel physics discoveries by 2028. Some favorite parts: - How video models learn physics - The accidental discovery of cameos as the crucial feature - Product decisions that led to Sora’s 70% creator participation - Reactions to Ben Thompson’s initial skepticism around Sora - What Google and Meta are missing despite having strong underlying models - Bill's 2028 prediction: video models will make novel discoveries in classical physics - How Sora might integrate with ChatGPT and the broader OpenAI ecosystem Listen here ⬇️ YouTube: youtu.be/kN04ZFJyFBk Spotify: bit.ly/47RQKHk Apple: bit.ly/4opcssf

@turtlesoupy @billpeeb Is this how someone on the Sora team was able to always have jean shorts (aka jorts) on in every video? Pedram 🤣 The Sora team makes very very funny videos.

New cameo controls are rolling out in today's Sora update: the restrictions section gives you agency in blocking generations that you don't want 🍅

@emollick Working on it! Recommender systems are incredibly difficult to build in advance of having content to recommend

Scrolling the Sora 2 video stream just reinforces this truth from AI image generators - when given a tool that can make anything, people basically just make videos of cats, celebrities & anime characters (also Sam Altman). A feed that highlighted creativity might look different.
Ethan Mollick@emollick

So what images are people actually creating with AI? This is an interactive map of over 6.5M sets of generated images, mapped by similarity. I pointed out a few areas. At the center of everything lies classical statues of celebrities & anime characters. atlas.nomic.ai

I dunno about you, but Zuck's next target might just be this OpenAI employee.

@rememberlenny @OpenAI Damn, I’ll miss you man! Seems like yesterday you were walking me through the ChatGPT data model while my house slowly disappeared in the background. Will be closely following for what comes next 🫡

Today was my last day at @OpenAI. 20 months ago, I left the YC startup I founded to join the Codex team where I prototyped the first code interpreter demos. From there, I helped start the internal Human Data team, where we built tools to produce data for frontier efforts, one of which became ChatGPT. Subsequently, I contributed to building out the first version of ChatGPT Plus and the payments stack. Over the past few months, I was the founding member of the ChatGPT Growth team and owned efforts to reduce product friction through cross-platform changes to accelerate user growth, and led building out the first product events data pipeline across all OpenAI properties. As of today, my vanity pride metric is that I was the fourth most active PR contributor in the OpenAI monorepo. Right from the day I started, it was regularly 6 days a week in the office, with days beginning at 8 and ending late into the evening. Like many others, I had my share of countless late nights extinguishing fires to support scaling and stop bad actors. I have the deepest appreciation for my colleagues and the incredibly talented people I worked alongside. I am forever grateful for the once in a lifetime experience for everything I learned. Allons!
