Sora. What you need to know.

Today, a new star had risen – Sora, OpenAI's latest marvel in AI, a text-to-video extension everyone is going nutz about. But not everyone was ready to join the fanfare. Enter Yann LeCun, Meta's AI maestro, with his signature no-nonsense attitude.

LeCun raised an eyebrow at OpenAI's bold vision of Sora as the future architect of virtual worlds. In his eyes, Sora's pixel play was an extravagant dance of complexity.

Imagine, if you will, the artist and the cangas, the painter obsessing over every grain in the canvas instead of the stroke of the brush. That's LeCun's critique of Sora – a painstaking focus on the minutiae when the big picture's what counts. As he put it, it's like understanding the flight of a soccer ball by studying the atoms in the leather, rather than just its mass and movement of Soras outputs.

LeCun had his own ace up his sleeve, the ‘V-JEPA’ – a sleek AI designed not to drown in the pixel sea, but to surf atop it. Meta's blog drummed up this new contender, boasting it could sidestep the unpredictable and hone in on what mattered, training faster and smarter, leaving generative models like Sora in the digital dust.While OpenAI's Sora dazzled with its generative glitz, LeCun's V-JEPA was content to walk a different path

Meanwhile, in the entertainment industry, concerns about generative AI were growing. Industry workers worried that AI models like Sora's could put them out of work. They pushed for protections to safeguard their livelihoods.

Even in the world of animation, where creativity and imagination were king, Sora's gift caused discomfort. The animation community was wary of her, unsure of what her powers could mean for the future of their craft.
