play00:00

so I used to think that artificial

play00:01

intelligence was just one of those words

play00:03

that people threw around to get

play00:04

investors excited about putting their

play00:06

money in the stock market and I thought

play00:08

that it would never happen in my

play00:09

lifetime but I think I'm wrong if you

play00:11

haven't heard about open AI Sora it's

play00:14

about to blow your mind and probably

play00:16

change the world forever in ways that I

play00:18

don't think people fully understand yet

play00:20

you type in some text of what you want

play00:22

and it creates videos and it does that

play00:24

at such a high level of realism that it

play00:27

shouldn't even be possible here are just

play00:29

some of the examples of what it can do

play00:31

right now here's a stylish woman that

play00:33

walks down a Tokyo Street filled with

play00:35

warm glowing neon and animated City

play00:37

signage she wears a black leather jacket

play00:40

a long red dress and black boots and

play00:42

carries a black purse that was a one

play00:44

minute long video that Sora created with

play00:46

just a couple words in that prompt now I

play00:49

added the music and the sound effects

play00:50

because right now it can't do that and

play00:52

it can't syn with video but I imagine it

play00:55

will soon but it's doing that with such

play00:57

a level of realism that it shouldn't be

play00:59

possible without physically traveling to

play01:01

Tokyo and shooting on a lowlight

play01:04

fullframe sensor camera like the A7 S3

play01:07

in 4k at 120 frames per second and it's

play01:11

creating a shot that has never existed

play01:13

before in human history and all it took

play01:15

was just a couple words on a keyboard it

play01:19

gets crazier though here's a movie

play01:20

trailer featuring The Adventures of the

play01:22

30-year-old Spaceman wearing a red wool

play01:24

knitted motorcycle helmet Blue Sky salt

play01:27

desert cinematic style shot on 35 mm

play01:30

film with Vivid colors that straight up

play01:32

looks like a scene from a JJ Abrams

play01:34

movie except with a lot less lens flares

play01:36

hold on there I fixed it it gets even

play01:39

better because it can take a simple

play01:41

photo as an input and reimagine it into

play01:44

a video that looks like this this is

play01:47

absolutely insane and this is just the

play01:50

tip of the iceberg of what it can do let

play01:52

me show you how this technology is about

play01:54

to change all our lives and the global

play01:56

economy forever let's get into it hi my

play01:59

name is Andre J hope you're doing well

play02:01

come for the finance and stay for the

play02:02

magic because seeing is no longer

play02:04

believing AGI or artificial general

play02:07

intelligence is the single most

play02:10

important invention in all of human

play02:11

history and it will also probably be our

play02:14

last because once you create the thing

play02:17

that can create anything it's game over

play02:20

and I used to think that that was

play02:22

science fiction or at least it wouldn't

play02:24

happen for a long time and probably not

play02:25

in my lifetime but it's kind of scary

play02:28

how fast it actually is is happening and

play02:30

it's accelerating now my initial

play02:33

thoughts are that it will probably

play02:34

displace millions of jobs and throughout

play02:37

this video I'll probably be asking you

play02:39

more questions than I'll be answering

play02:41

because I don't know the answer like

play02:43

what's going to happen to Specialty

play02:45

companies that make cameras and drones

play02:48

you used to need a company that did that

play02:50

the thousands of dollars that you needed

play02:52

saved and the Drone licensed operate

play02:55

them but now you don't need any of that

play02:57

all you have to do is type drone view of

play02:59

wave crashing against the rugged Cliffs

play03:01

along big sur's graypoint beach voila

play03:05

you get a picture perfect cinematic

play03:07

drone shot I mean this is crazy I've

play03:09

been to Big Sir and I actually flew a

play03:11

drone there and it looked exactly like

play03:13

that except in this case they recreated

play03:16

the shot perfectly and they didn't have

play03:18

to go to California thank the Lord

play03:19

kidding but also what happens to all the

play03:22

videographers that are out there because

play03:24

in 2022 the Bureau of Labor Statistics

play03:26

reported that videographers earned

play03:28

roughly 62,000 a year which is a very

play03:30

livable wage and there's approximately

play03:33

875,000 videographers in the us alone

play03:36

and they range anywhere from wildli all

play03:38

the way to oceanographers and those very

play03:41

specific Fields within videography can

play03:44

also now be replicated by Sora here's

play03:46

Borneo Wildlife on the kinab batangan

play03:48

river here's one of the most detailed

play03:50

shots of a Victoria crowned pigeon

play03:53

here's some wly mammoths for you and

play03:55

here's an octopus doing its octopus

play03:57

thing so now we're potentially talking

play03:59

about not needing videographers at all

play04:01

or at least not as many as we have today

play04:04

and we might not even need companies

play04:06

that make special glass like macro

play04:09

lenses because here is an extreme

play04:11

closeup of a 24-year-old woman's eye

play04:13

blinking standing in maresh during magic

play04:15

hour come on if someone didn't tell you

play04:17

that was AI would you even think twice

play04:20

about it also another question what

play04:22

happens to the animators the people that

play04:24

made things like Toy Story in 2022 there

play04:27

were 2 million animators globally making

play04:29

$75,000 a year on average but also

play04:32

here's an animated scene featuring a

play04:34

closeup of a short fluffy monster

play04:36

kneeling beside a melting red candle

play04:37

does that mean we don't need an entire

play04:39

Studio of 3D Graphics animators I don't

play04:42

know but Sora also extends Way Beyond

play04:45

animation and movie making it's also

play04:48

going to change the way that people make

play04:49

commercials like car commercials for

play04:51

example which will never be made the

play04:53

same again here's a typical car shot you

play04:56

might see a drone following a car in

play04:58

extreme detail and and here's another of

play05:00

a Porsche just driving in the mountains

play05:03

and it looks insanely real if you never

play05:05

told me I would never have noticed that

play05:07

these were AI generated videos and this

play05:09

is coming from a guy who did video

play05:10

production professionally for 20 years

play05:13

no one is safe from this technology not

play05:16

even Time Travelers they're about to go

play05:17

out of business too here's a really

play05:19

detailed shot of California during the

play05:22

Gold Rush it's even able to visualize

play05:24

not only what the past might have looked

play05:26

like but also the future here's a shot

play05:28

of logos Nigeria in the year 2056 shot

play05:32

with a mobile phone camera when I first

play05:33

found out about this my first thought

play05:36

was this is an April Fool's joke right

play05:38

there's no way these videos were AI

play05:40

generated how did we go from making

play05:43

videos that look like this less than a

play05:45

year ago makes no sense at all to videos

play05:48

that look like this which look like

play05:50

they're shot on beautiful 4K cameras in

play05:52

slow motion so I guess we can also say

play05:54

goodbye to stock footage companies and

play05:57

openai tells us that these were all

play05:59

created by Sora without any modification

play06:02

so this is not a joke this technology is

play06:05

here to stay and my question is what's

play06:07

going to happen next now I watched one

play06:09

of the First videos that came out about

play06:10

this by MKBHD and he had a really

play06:13

interesting observation about that drone

play06:15

shot that I showed you earlier and that

play06:17

has all sorts of implications for the

play06:19

Drone pilot that no longer needs to be

play06:21

hired for all the photographers and

play06:24

videographers whose footage no longer

play06:26

needs to be licensed to show up in that

play06:29

ad that's being made it's already that

play06:31

good which is exactly my point and that

play06:34

Tokyo shot short of going to Tokyo and

play06:36

hiring a crew of videographers maybe a

play06:38

video editor maybe a colorist booking

play06:40

flights to get there the hotels the

play06:42

meals all of that is not as needed

play06:44

anymore there's going to be a lot of

play06:46

jobs that will be eliminated or at the

play06:48

very least those incomes will be

play06:49

drastically reduced and the jobs will be

play06:52

concentrated into fewer jobs we kind of

play06:55

already saw that happen with Chad GPT

play06:57

and the writer strike I imagine we'll

play06:58

see more job postings like this one from

play07:00

Netflix when they wanted to find an AI

play07:02

platform manager and they offered them

play07:04

$900,000 per year for the companies that

play07:07

can I can see them consolidating say 20

play07:11

of their jobs into fewer at a fraction

play07:13

of the cost and the thing that's scary

play07:16

without trying to fearmonger because I

play07:17

don't know the answer is that if you

play07:19

eliminate an entire industry of people

play07:22

even if it's a small one it can have

play07:24

Ripple consequences on the entire global

play07:26

economy with loss of employment loss of

play07:30

productivity lower profits potentially

play07:32

supply chain problems and the assets and

play07:35

Loans of those people and who pays for

play07:37

them if they can't also it's election

play07:40

year and this technology has gotten so

play07:43

good that it's crossed the uncanny

play07:45

valley in other words the people in

play07:47

these AI videos look real especially to

play07:50

people who might not be looking for or

play07:52

even be aware of what AI can do already

play07:55

and the thing that's shocking that we

play07:56

have to keep in mind is that this

play07:58

technology is getting better and better

play08:00

faster and faster again remember this is

play08:03

where we were less than a year ago now

play08:05

there are a couple good things that I

play08:06

can see coming from this technology and

play08:08

one of them is fan-made Recreations of

play08:11

alternate endings for their favorite

play08:13

shows cuz I think some of them do need

play08:15

it I imagine this will open up a

play08:17

Floodgate Of new content creators on

play08:19

social media who knows we might even see

play08:21

the first AI generated person who people

play08:24

don't even know is not a real person

play08:27

like I could be AI generated you don't

play08:29

know your mind would be blown all I'm

play08:31

saying is you've never seen me and Sora

play08:33

in the same room the good news is for

play08:35

now they do have safeguards in place

play08:37

like for example the watermark in the

play08:39

bottom right hand corner which for now

play08:41

is how you can tell it was AI generated

play08:43

but someone can also easily just crop

play08:45

that out they're also keeping this

play08:46

technology only open to the quote red

play08:48

teamers or the group of testers who are

play08:50

working to refine it cuz right now it's

play08:53

not perfect if you look close enough at

play08:55

any of the shots you'll notice that

play08:57

something is off it's very small small

play08:59

though and you have to look really

play09:00

really close like for example one of my

play09:02

favorites is this shot of the dogs

play09:04

playing in the snow it's probably one of

play09:06

the best I've seen on their website at

play09:08

first glance you probably didn't notice

play09:10

what just happened I know I didn't but

play09:12

if you look close enough you'll see that

play09:14

the gravity reverses in the snow sort of

play09:16

Falls upward for a split second also the

play09:19

Gold Rush California scene right in the

play09:21

beginning there's a horse that just

play09:23

copper fields and vanishes from the left

play09:25

side of the frame sometimes it's just

play09:26

super subtle like that and all the clips

play09:28

have something in them if you play them

play09:30

frame by frame and other times it's a

play09:33

lot more obvious like for example these

play09:35

red pandas in the petri dish which only

play09:37

have two legs for some reason or these

play09:39

multiplying wolves which shouldn't be

play09:41

doing that it has trouble with accuracy

play09:43

when it comes to multiples of things the

play09:46

good news is if you look close enough

play09:48

you'll notice something but it is good

play09:50

enough to be used creatively and I

play09:52

imagine in some cases dangerously but

play09:55

also remember it's only going to get

play09:57

better from here or maybe worse well I

play09:59

guess it's better for some people and

play10:01

worse for the people that make videos

play10:03

for a living hey wait a

play10:05

minute I'm a Blake employee I'd love to

play10:08

know your thoughts about what you think

play10:10

all of this means if there's entire

play10:12

industries that we might not need now I

play10:14

don't think that AI is going to be the

play10:16

end of us but if it is we'll get some

play10:19

really great shows and movies out of it

play10:21

and I'm really looking forward to that
