Musk's company's 200 billion Open AI created SORA: how to set off a future technology frenzy?
Hello everyone, I'm Guosheng, the manager of a software company.
Today, let's talk about Musk's OpenAI, which has swept the whole network in the past few days, and the newly released SORA, which can stunned the elites of major cities around the world, and almost detonated the unemployment panic.
So let's talk about it in depth today.
First of all, this OpenAI is the parent company of the $200 billion super unicorn company ChatGPT.
Seriously, as a business owner of a technology company, I am definitely a brain-dead fan of Musk, purely from a technical point of view, and from a career point of view, not mixed with various religious concepts.
Musk owns a total of 9 companies.
First: Tesla
It is an automotive company that changes the way people travel through electricity and solar energy. In just a few years, it has surpassed Toyota to become the world's largest car company.
Tesla firmly occupies the position of the sales champion of new energy vehicles, which also allows Musk to regain the position of the world's richest man.
The second: Space X
Space X is the world's only privately held and operated rocket launch company. The main product is the Falcon 1 9 reusable launch vehicle, which has been launched more than NASA in the 13 years of operation of the company, and the rocket is lifted off almost every few days. Starship was originally known as the Large Falcon Rocket (BFR). SpaceX plans to use it for manned flights around the moon and space exploration to Mars in the future.
To put it simply, the company of reusable large rockets.
The third place: Solar City
SolarCity was founded in October 2008 as a company specializing in the development of residential photovoltaic power generation projects and is located in Foster City, California. Its main research and development direction is photovoltaic power generation. Joint Party 18002 668 692.
To put it simply, a company that generates solar energy.
Fourth: Star Link
Starlink, dedicated to the deployment and application of satellite systems, plans to build in space between 2019 and 2024The Starlink network, consisting of 20,000 satellites, 1,584 of which will be deployed in low-Earth orbit 550 kilometers above the Earth, will begin working in 2020. To put it simply, a mobile phone receives signals from a base station and becomes a "near-Earth satellite"** company.
Fifth: neuralink
Neuralink is committed to the research of biological and physical interactions, and its product concept is "brain-computer interface". It's also a great and imaginative technology, and if developed, it will not take a lot of time to study, or even go to university. The knowledge known to mankind can be "instilled" into the brain through brain-computer interfaces. Similarly, memories stored in the human brain can be stored on physical disks through brain-computer interfaces, which can even subversively change the course of human history.
To put it simply, the human head has a "USB interface" that can copy memory, knowledge, and information in and out. If successful, human immortality will become a reality.
Sixth: Model mobile phone.
On November 12, some foreign netizens uploaded the promotion and demonstration of Tesla's mobile phone**. The phone is named "Model", which is very Tesla-like. The mobile phone can be charged with light energy and communicate through Starlink, even if it is far away in the Gobi Desert, in the ocean, and on the top of the high mountains, it can still surf the Internet without being affected, and it may also communicate for free.
To put it simply, there is no phone bill, and you can use the Internet anywhere.
Seventh: hyperloop
A rail transit company whose research direction is enclosed vacuum maglev trains. Its R&D progress has almost entered the trial operation stage. Ideally, a maglev train would travel at top speed like a capsule running at high speed in a water pipe. At that time, the distance between Beijing and Shanghai would be only 10 minutes, and it would be another transformative advance in the history of human transportation.
To put it simply, a closed hyperloop.
The eighth: boring company
The main R&D direction of the "boring company" is to do underground transportation rails.
In February and May 2021, two tunnels were dug under the Las Vegas Convention Center as part of a complete underground personnel transportation system.
In simple terms, intercity high-speed subways.
Ninth: Open AI
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research company based in San Francisco, USA, consisting of OpenAI LP, a for-profit company, and OpenAI Inc., a non-profit parent company.
The core purpose is to "create safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of all, with a mission to ensure that AI general intelligence benefits all of humanity."
OpenAI initially chose to develop on the route of emerging technologies that the industry is not optimistic about, and as a latecomer that once faced the risk of capital chain breakage, it counterattacked to become a leader in leading the wave of general artificial intelligence.
OpenAI ranked first on the 2023 Cloud Computing 100 list released by Forbes.
OpenAI originated in late 2015 as a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the safety and universal benefits of AI technology, co-founded by a number of tech industry leaders, including Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Reed Hoffman, and Elon Musk. Joint Party 18002 668 692.
Since 2019, Microsoft has established a strategic alliance with openAI, and this relationship has deepened over time. As of December 2023, Microsoft has become the largest capital backer of OpenAI, with a cumulative investment of up to $13 billion, accounting for 49% of the shares, and an initial board structure after OpenAI's restructuring.
was given the role of a non-voting observer.
At the same time, OpenAI has also made a huge investment in Microsoft's cloud computing services, and the two sides have formed a deeply intertwined cooperation pattern at multiple levels such as technology, resources and market, jointly promoting the innovation and wide application of artificial intelligence technology.
OpenAI released its first product in 2016.
2On November 30, 2022, OpenAI launched its innovative chatbot model, ChatGPT, a major development that has injected new vitality and broader prospects into the field of AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content). Within five days of its launch, ChatGPT's user base has soared rapidly and successfully exceeded the million mark, demonstrating its strong potential and attractiveness in improving and popularizing AI applications.
The launch of ChatGPT, a revolutionary product, detonated the world and became the fastest consumer application with more than 100 million users. Full-year revenue reached $28 million.
Needless to say, ChatGPT's global popularity does not need to be overemphasized, and its grand occasion of sweeping the whole network has directly driven many domestic technology giants to rush to invest in the research and development and innovation of similar products.
Following this craze, in the early morning of February 16, 2024 (February 15 based on Eastern Time), OpenAI once again shocked the world and released a name called"sora"The revolution of *** This tool is able to realize text-to-video conversion technology. As soon as this news came out, it shook the world in an instant, and people from different countries and regions used their own languages, and there were heated discussions on the global social ** platform, and they all exclaimed:"The boundaries of reality in our eyes are dissolving
With such a rapid pace of technological development, one cannot help but ponder the future that, at the current rate of technological advancement, a large number of traditional occupations will be at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence, leading to a significant increase in the likelihood of large-scale career transitions and even unemployment.
So, what exactly is Sora?
a few gigantic, furry mammoths are approaching across the snowy grassland. their long, shaggy coats sway gently in the wind, while in the distance, trees laden with snow and majestic snow-capped mountains can be seen. the afternoon sun casts warm rays, and wisps of clouds dot the sky. the sun hangs high in the air, emanating a warm glow, as the low camera angle captures the awe-inspiring sight of these large, furry mammals, creating beautiful photography with depth of field.
Translated into Chinese (by chatgpt) is:
Several huge furry mammoths approached on snowy meadows, their long furry fur fluttering gently in the wind, snow-covered trees and majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance, wisps of clouds in the afternoon sun, the sun hanging high in the air to produce a warm glow, and the low camera angle amazingly captures large furry mammals with beautiful photography and depth of field.
Vincent**. The text is there. Now, look.
Thanks to its deep insight into natural language, SORA is able to accurately capture and interpret the various imagery contained in the user's instructions and translate them into vivid and concrete visual representations. This remarkable ability allows Sora to create characters that are able to convey a rich and diverse range of emotions.
With this advanced technology, Sora is not only able to build complex scenes with multiple interactive characters, but also to depict the different types of actions performed by the characters, and even to depict the objects and background environment in the scene with extremely accurate and realistic detail. Imagine a vivid recreation of California's history during the Gold Rush, even though viewers may mistake it for a real documentary clip at first glance, but it is actually the artistic result of Sora's powerful AI technology, which is enough to prove that the advancement of artificial intelligence in the field of visual arts is happening before our eyes at an unprecedented rate. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of current communication methods, it is not possible to directly display the actual image, so imagine the wonderful image generated by Sora that is difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.
a historical glimpse of california during the gold rush period.(Historical footage of California during the Gold Rush.) ）
How did everyone feel after reading it?
Doesn't it feel: how can this be AI-generated?
Looking at how grand the scene is, the details of the trees are outlined, and the finesse of the house can also be seen, in our imagination, AI can't do this effect. But the truth is a big mouth.
In addition, Sora was able to design multiple shots in the same ** while maintaining character and visual style consistency.
You must know that the previous AI** was generated by a single lens.
And this time, OpenAI can achieve the consistency of objects in multi-angle lens switching, which has to be said to be a miracle!
OpenAI knew you would think so, so it left a sentence on the official website:
All ** on this page have been generated directly from SORA and have not been modified.
Compared with the popular PIKA and other similar generation models last year, which can only reach a generation time of about 5 seconds and the visual effect is not satisfactory, the SORA launched by OpenAI has achieved a significant leap forward, and can generate continuous and smooth 60 seconds** content.
This should not be underestimated, because in many film and television works, even the appearance time of the supporting characters is often only a few seconds; Joint Party 18002 668 692.
Therefore, the film and television entertainment production industry has borne the brunt of the shock brought by SORA, and for cost optimization considerations, it is very likely that some scenes or clips will be directly completed by AI generation technology in the future.
Not only that, the practical application possibilities of SORA technology are far beyond people's imagination, and there are a large number of examples on the Internet to show its diverse application scenarios.
It is also worth noting that developers in the technical community have been engaged in intense discussions around SORA's technical report, and based on the content of the report, some people have tried to restore and speculate on the technical architecture architecture diagram that SORA may adopt.
Here are a few insights into SORA and the AI trends it represents:
First, although there are concerns that the development of AI technologies such as SORA will lead to the loss of a large number of jobs, and even the belief that start-ups only need a few individuals to operate, this view is somewhat one-sided. In fact, AI technology plays more of an enabling and supporting role, rather than completely replacing manpower. True business success and innovation still require a combination of teamwork and diverse talent.
Second, in the field of AI in China, some companies claim to have reached or surpassed OpenAI's technical level. However, maintaining a humble attitude analysis, there is still a technological gap between China and OpenAI for at least one year. In addition to the known GT5 project, OpenAI is likely to have undisclosed secrets**, and its founders are skilled in marketing and strategic deployment, which means that the gap between China and the United States in the field of AI may not be narrowing, but gradually widening.
Third, while technologies such as SORA are capable of producing high-quality 60-second** footage, this is still a long way from creating a full-length movie or story. The success of film and television works depends on human ingenuity and creativity in many aspects, such as theme design, script writing, script planning, lens language and dialogue matching. Therefore, instead of disrupting the traditional film and television industry, SORA is expected to become a powerful productivity tool for the industry, giving more ordinary creators the possibility to achieve professional-level image production. For example, SORA can help Douyin creators improve the quality of content and innovation, and form a complementary rather than competitive relationship.
The emergence of SORA may indicate that the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is approaching, which is the core pursuit of OpenAI. In order to build the infrastructure that can support AGI's growth, Sam Altman, the company behind OpenAI, has raised up to $7 trillion, which is equivalent to 10% of global GDP, enough to buy the combined market capitalization of several top technology companies. The reason for such a huge capital investment is that massive computing power is an indispensable key element on the road to AGI.
With technological advances like SORA, will the era of artificial general intelligence be far away?
The world is changing unimaginably.
It seems far away, but it is close in front of you in an instant.
Conclusion:OpenAI has been the subject of a number of copyright lawsuits in recent years, especially from writers and The New York Times, because of the amount of material generated** for training memories.
In the face of possible risks of personal privacy and portrait right abuse in the future, SORA has been designed to reflect OpenAI's great importance to legal and compliant use. OpenAI not only conducts strict internal security reviews and red team tests on SORA, but also follows the C2PA (Content Authenticity Initiative) standard in the operation of the model to ensure that all ** generated by SORA can be effectively identified. At the same time, OpenAI draws on the mature security strategies previously applied to the DALL-E project, and takes resolute filtering measures for inappropriate or harmful text prompts, building a comprehensive set of security barriers, aiming to prevent SORA from having a negative impact on user rights and social order in practical applications.
The development direction of science and technology depends on how human beings guide and use it, and although the results are not yet predictable, the R&D force behind OpenAI undoubtedly shows a strong ability to understand the world. This ability has gone through hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution and thousands of years of accumulation of wisdom in human society. Now, with just about $7 trillion in computing power investment and months of intensive training, OpenAI has somehow simulated and accelerated this process, creating an AI model that is comparable to the depth of human understanding.
The birth of SORA is not only a breakthrough in AI technology, but also an important milestone in the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Over the past year, AGI has progressed at an astonishing pace and is convincing, and in the near future, perhaps in five years, we will see AGI leap from theory to reality.
