What Hacker News says?
Once it has been proven to be possible, other companies [1][2][3] can and will reproduce it, and will attempt to push the frontier. As far as we know, there's no bottleneck that's stalling development here.

HN discussionSo you're right to be excited, I agree. And I don't know, Meta, like OpenAI, seems to release conditionally, though yes, more. I doubt it before the election. When the Will Smith one was released, it was kind of a parody though. Tech had already been able to produce that level of "quality" for about 2 years at the time of it's publishing. The Will Smith one is honestly something you could have created with Disco Dif…

HN discussionHere's an unpopular opinion: such applications aren't going to trivialize art. Like competitive sports, art is all about display of human ability under constraints. This is why even in the age of photographs, we still value hand-painted canvases. Such techniques are simply going to make people more discerning between real effort v/s automated means of generating the same outcome. Rather than thinking AI-assisted sty…

HN discussionI feel like they've really changed how they are presenting themselves but Runway was the big one that came to mind for me that focus on more than simple video generation but actually meant for film makers. This is the best page I found- maybe there's a better one... https://runwayml.com/product But its interface looks like a video editor- timeline, etc

HN discussionRight now there is (AFAIK) no world model product booking any meaningful revenue. So there's a decent chance WMs turn out to have no long-term utility at all. However, there are a few promising markets, assuming WMs continue to get better and cheaper: 1. Robotics training / evaluation : modern end-to-end (sensors-to-control) robot policies require simulators that are almost indistinguishable from reality. If your si…
