Overall, appears rather underwhelming. Long way to go still for video generation. Also, launching this as a social app seems like yet another desperate try to productize and monetize their tech, but this is the position big VC money forces you into.

I've perhaps been away from the scene for a bit, but I'm very impressed. To me this is absolutely "video generation", and I don't get your disdain for productization and monetization; last I checked this wasn't "Basic Research News".

I don't think it's disdainful to point out the lack of PMF for a dedicated app for Sora, nor how its behind competitors who don't require a dedicated social app. No need to strawman the guy, I think it's okay to be reasonably critical of ideas still on this website.

Inb4 make your own video model and see how easy it is
