0:00 Speaker A: Vehicle, let's go. Speaker A: Whoa. Speaker A: Okay, I'm getting out behind your back. Speaker A: Step to the front of the truck. Speaker A: I'm not resisting, I swear. Speaker A: It's legal. Speaker A: I wasn't filming while driving. Speaker A: It's all text, no camera, no mics. Speaker A: You had the phone up? Speaker A: Yeah, because I'm using Sora, the new app from OpenAI. Speaker A: It makes reels from a line of text. Speaker B: Summarize OpenAI's new social app for AI video only. Speaker B: Record a short clip of your face and voice and then you can drop yourself into any scene with cameos. Speaker B: And you control who can use your likeness in Revoke anytime when Google VO3 was the ChatGPT moment for video creation. Speaker B: Then OpenAI Sora takes it to next level.
0:25 Speaker B: It simulates physics better, follows multi shot directions, and now does sync dialogue and sound effects so lips match. Speaker B: The words and scenes feel more consistent. Speaker B: It was actually Meta who started the AI social feed with vibes as a lean back AI generated video feed experience. Speaker B: You can remix inside Meta AI app. Speaker B: Sora is different. Speaker B: It's creation first and friend centric. Speaker B: The app revolves around putting you and your circle on the screen with cameos rather than doom scrolling. Speaker B: Sora constantly gives you prompts to ask how you're feeling, suggesting new accounts to follow and showing inspiration to get you to create yourself.
0:54 Speaker B: Potentially changing the 90% consume, 9% engage and 1% crate rule that's been true on almost all other social platforms. Speaker B: Sora jumped to number one on the US App Store during launch day with 56th downloads. Speaker B: Even though being invite only at first, third party IP was opt out. Speaker B: So the feeds were filled with wild fan fiction. Speaker B: A lot of spongebobs getting arrested. Speaker B: I hope Nintendo doesn't sue us. Speaker B: After the backlash, OpenAI flipped to opt in for known characters and styles. Speaker B: And that changed the wild meme game and made it somewhat less chaotic.
1:20 Speaker B: They're exploring now monetization for both creators and rights holders when their IP is being used. Speaker B: A lot of people call this AI slop. Speaker C: This is AI slop. Speaker C: Just an endless dribble of computer generated nonsense that no one cares about. Speaker B: But we've seen this before. Speaker B: Remember early YouTube, YouTubers were not taken seriously as kids in their bedrooms creating some low quality content. Speaker B: But it democratized distribution as the key part to allow anyone to find an audience. Speaker B: And now led to an explosion in creativity and millions of independent creators.
1:48 Speaker B: It does not only dominate our time spent on the phone, but YouTube is even the top time spent on TVs. Speaker B: Sora could be the next turn. Speaker B: It democratizes creation itself. Speaker B: No cameras, no lights, no microphones, no producers. Speaker B: If you've got an idea, you can make a video. Speaker B: This will be another explosion of content. Speaker B: Probably a lot of one off AI slope, but a lot more ideas and stories will finally be able to be heard and seen while the app is free. Speaker B: Sora API for pros and tinkerers cost about 10 cents per video second, so about $360 for one hour of video.
2:14 Speaker B: Do you think it will fundamentally shift the content game or is it just a short lived gimmick? Speaker D: I have to thank OpenAI. Speaker D: I wrote one single line in Sora hit enter and that prompt became a complete feature film. Speaker D: That film just won this award.
