But in the end of the day, they still exist and a lot of people know about them.

So I wonder if ByteDance looked at what happened with these other video generators and said, let's just do the same thing.

Yeah.

Is this actually a step forward?

Should Hollywood be freaking out?

And the community is divided.

Some are saying we're cooked.

Some are saying this is trash.

But it does seem like this is a step forward in the sense that it's better at storyboarding.

That was one area of these existing AI video generators where it was kind of lacking like

They could create a amazing 15 second clip of something like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting, but they just didn't have this narrative arc to it.

And that maybe was one of the biggest gaps between what a human could create and an AI could create.

This sedan seems like it's pretty good at story storyboarding and creating a compelling story.

So that's why maybe more and more people in Hollywood are saying, well, yeah, this this industry employs hundreds of thousands of jobs and those could be soon wiped out.

Moving on, in the biggest coming out of retirement surprise since Gronk, the sedan is ready for its comeback.

As the Wall Street Journal writes, Detroit's big three automakers are once again entertaining the option of making smaller cars just years after sending them to the farm of state.

The president of General Motors, which made its last Chevy Malibu in 2024, said recently, I would kill to have a hybrid electric sedan.

We're working on how to do that.

The CEO of Ford, which terminated the Fusion five years ago, said last month the sedan market is very vibrant.

Ford is setting up a new assembly line next year in Kentucky that could also make sedans should they want to flip that switch.
