These were some of the discussions that people were having. voice-verified

Now along comes Sora, and it's like, oh, well, like maybe that's actually the core of it. voice-verified

Is like people are sharing these videos, but it would not surprise me at all if this thing starts to gather momentum and OpenAI says, you know what? voice-verified

You can actually share text posts in the feed now as well, if you like, right? voice-verified

You could use the Sora feed as the basis to create something larger. voice-verified

So if they feel like they're having some. voice-verified

success they may go for it. voice-verified

Yeah, I basically do too, you know, one of the dimensions of this conversation that we haven't discussed yet is that I think a lot of folks who are around our age have a powerful disdain for what they would call AI slop. voice-verified

And they're in disbelief that companies keep creating tools to make and share it. voice-verified

And I'm sympathetic to that view. voice-verified

It's weird for me to go on Facebook and see Shrimp Jesus and an obviously fake woman who says that she just turned 101 today and made a birthday cake, but there's no one here to celebrate. voice-verified

And it has like 800,000 likes and comments from people wishing her a happy birthday. voice-verified

It's weird to me that that's like so much of our reality and it's easy to get from there to voice-verified

This is all gonna burn itself out. voice-verified

Like this is obviously stupid. voice-verified

But I do think that this is one of the lessons of the internet over the past year is that you can say on one hand, I don't like AI slop, it makes me uncomfortable, I can't imagine spending much time looking at it. voice-verified

And then on the other hand, digging into it a bit and finding out this stuff is crazy popular. voice-verified

You know, you read the comments of these things, and people seem to have an awareness that like their brain. voice-verified

Brains are being cooked as they're watching it. voice-verified

Like they're just sort of being hypnotized into a stupor by the series of images. voice-verified
