After seeing how good OpenAI's program "Sora" is at creating photorealistic video, movie maker Tyler Perry decided to cancel his plans to build a $800 million extension to his existing movie studio. He says:
*"I no longer would have to travel to locations. If I wanted to be in the snow in Colorado, it’s text. If I wanted to write a scene on the moon, it’s text, and this AI can generate it like nothing. If I wanted to have two people in the living room in the mountains, I don’t have to build a set in the mountains, I don’t have to put a set on my lot. I can sit in an office and do this with a computer, which is shocking to me. [...] Everything right now is so up in the air. It’s so malleable. The technology’s moving so quickly. I feel like everybody in the industry is running a hundred miles an hour to try and catch up, to try and put in guardrails and to try and put in safety belts to keep livelihoods afloat. But me, just like every other studio in town, we’re all trying to figure it all out. I think we’re all trying to find the answers as we go, and it’s changing every day — and it’s not just our industry, but it’s every industry that AI will be affecting, from accountants to architects. [...] I am very, very concerned that in the near future, a lot of jobs are going to be lost. I really, really feel that very strongly."* After Seeing OpenAI’s Sora, Tyler Perry Cancelled Building an $800m Studio <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOJQkueap-A> John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> asq -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
