Episode notes
Sora 2 Is A Technical Leap
- Sora 2 marks a leap in generative video with better physics, audio, and style diversity compared to Sora 1.
- OpenAI's world-sim approach yields emergent behaviors that improve realism without explicit rules.
Cameo Unlocks Personal Avatars Fast
- The cameo feature enables instant personal avatars from a selfie and short head movements, unlocking social remixability.
- That design makes user-created likenesses reusable across the network and accelerates content creation dynamics.
