  • Agree, the video clearly is not meant to win an Oscar, it’s just a tech showcase. If you know what you’re looking at it’s pretty intense what it can do right now, but the amount of frothing hate from the writer of this article is just super eyerolly. They can’t even try to understand why anyone would be interested in it, or why it was made, or what it’s meant to do. Can’t even try to be neutral, just pure hate.

    The initial demonstration clips of Sora were eerie and low-resolution, with bizarre movement and physics. The video generation model was almost certainly trained on mountains of stolen content and sucked up an excessive amounts of power and water.

    Great, good points. Super douchey delivery. Same energy as vegans who just have to bring up the atrocities of the meat industry in the smug “I’m better than you” style. Super job, valid points. Learn how to deliver them in a way that people will actually listen to.











  • I tried this one time., to actually be a great employee. This was well into my senior programmer status, got hired at at a new gig, and I liked the place. So they had a massive chunk of work. I busted my ass for 3 months to get it done in time, nights, weekends, you name it.

    We got it done, zero bugs too, was honestly impressed.

    A month later they asked me why my velocity had dropped. Well, because I pushed hard for that, but this is normal times, I’m well within my fellow engineers ranges right? Well sure, but you’re about 20% lower on our charts. Was told I would need to get that back up if I wanted to be eligible for raises or promotions. My 6 month review came up and that was forefront. I “showed promise” early on but I had been lacking lately. They mentioned my huge project as a footnote.

    Seriously kids, don’t try. Business will formulate everything you do into graphs, and they only care if line goes up. Stay in line with your coworkers, and nudge the line up only noticeably through the years. They want to play stupid games, give them stupid prizes.
