This isn’t technology news.
Sora allows you to put limiters on how your likeness can be used. Maybe he just didn’t bother… Or maybe it just doesn’t (work) very well?
Or maybe he did. Maybe He only allowed those categories
Problematic undercurrents of homophobia aside, the trend paints a troubling picture of a future filled with photorealistic and eerily believable AI slop.
What a fucking incredible line
I’m not a fan, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who takes himself seriously enough for this to be the self-own that the headline seems to imply.
Yeah, he is one of those who think even bad press is good marketing.
Even got himself spread so far, they are posting it on Lemmy.
Haha wow they made the robot call him gay what a sick burn! Grooooosssss!!! Thank god this man who got famous via “negative” publicity definitely isn’t still doing that!!! Great job, Futurism!!!
Stupid outlet. Stupid story. Stupid person. Stupid technology. This man gets richer and gets the attention he wants. Journalists need to have a bit of a think before they start typing.
Who?
It looks fake. Incredible.
Smart move to get free press and attempt to stay relevant. Futurism got played. IE, more manufactured drama.
Jake Paul still exists? Ugh
Who the fuck is Jake Paul?
guy who made a career scamming kids
I donno but I remeber his genius brother Logan and his trip to Japan drama. YUP!!!
Ron Paul’s estranged gay son
And we’re talking about him.
And talking about that app…
True, but I also have no idea who he is. So it probably evens out.
Who?
I forgot that he exists. I’d like to return to that state
May I suggest a brick to the head? Always works for me.
to his or mine?
Yes
Or a Pangalactic Gargleblaster, “it’s like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”
But Brain, where will I find Jake’s head at this time of day?
Wearing a pink blouse and skirt, complete with rainbow-colored nails.
fake and gay
Yes, but what about the videos?
Real and straight
My apologies to the lgbt+ community. You already have to suffer so much.
Every time
a bell ringssomeone uses Sora to make 5 seconds worth of content portraying Jake Paul being gay,an angle gets his wingsit consumes as much power as running a microwave for an hour.angel*
Damn, I always confuse them
Source? I’d expect a more realistic claim is running a microwave for 30 seconds to a minute.
I don’t think generating a sora video can definitely take 2-4 hours of GPU time as your claim suggests.
I went on a bit of a dive trying to find this out. Listening to Lemmy you’d believe a single text query burns 1,000 trees.
The “microwave for an hour” line comes from this article. It attributes it to Sasha Luccioni/Code Carbon, which monitored the power usage of a computer while it created a video with “CogVideoX” (not Sora).
So OP isn’t exactly right but unfortunately we don’t have much better to go off. I’m inclined to believe Sora would be much better than that. A surprising amount of news articles all eventually lead back to Sasha Luccioni.
Microwaves are like 1000-1500 watt/h.
There is no way generating a video is 1.200.000 watt/h when a ChatGPT prompt is only about 0.3 Watt-hours
Your estimate of 8-17 watt/h may be closer, but still probably overestimates it by a ton.
This smells like Fuck AI propaganda.
No, but really, Fuck AI.
You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.
Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))
I’d run my microwave for an hour if it would make him go away.
Id run a microwave for an hour if he was inside
