From Episode 15: Sora 2 Took Over AI Video + Our New Parking Data Tool, starting at 13:25.
Jordan Metzner [13:24]: So you kinda get an idea that this is just the early days, but what I think is so interesting about the Sora two is this is kinda the first time we've seen video continuity. They call it I think they call it Cameo or Avatar, but you know, essentially you film your face, you move your head left, right, and all around, and then you can simply put yourself inside your own videos. And, I don't know if any of these will come up. Let's let's try. Hopefully, can see some of my previous videos. But, here's me tanning leather. Work them. The liquor keeps them supple while the sun does its job. After a good scrape Yeah. You get this even grain. And that's when they start to feel like leather. Hang them up. Let the breeze move through.
Sam Nadler [14:05]: And the oil refinery one, I think captured you quite well, if that's available.
Jordan Metzner [14:10]: Here's me working on the oil rig. It's eating everything out here. Come on. That's it. Bite down. One more turn. There she goes. Let's get another
Sam Nadler [14:18]: I mean, it's really you know, there's some, small, I would say, obvious
Jordan Metzner [14:24]: Inconsistencies.
Sam Nadler [14:26]: Yeah. Imperfections. Yeah. But it's really, really good in terms of, I think, the facial fidelity of what you've upload. I mean, that looks just like you.
Jordan Metzner [14:39]: Yeah. I've never lived in a bowl in my lunch.
Sam Nadler [14:44]: Well, you're doing a pretty good job there. Gates coming open. What do you think compared to Veo three?
Jordan Metzner [14:47]: Well, I think that's the big difference here is the ability to use your face, inside this content. And I don't know if you've seen these, but, here I am on an elephant. Here I am, as a Buddhist monk, scuba diving with sharks, fighting in a hockey game, working in a Tesla factory, barbecuing, farming. Here I am on the top of Mount Everest playing football, making pizza. So you can look, sushi, fishing, skydiving, formula one. I mean, here's my Formula One car. That's it. We did it. The car was unreal today.
Sam Nadler [15:25]: So Amazing.
Jordan Metzner [15:26]: It's just Amazing. It's been incredible. This is one of my favorites. It's it's not so active, but it just looks so real. Just looks so good.
Sam Nadler [15:35]: And, of course, you get someone creative, give them these tools, and, really, the sky's the limit. But talk me through really quick. It's it's hard it's easy once you have the app to make videos of yourself. It you can only make videos of other people if you've, a, granted access for them to use your face and your friends with them on the social app. So, like, I've tried to make a video of you and I. It came out okay. But there are some limitations of who you can make videos of. That's why there's so many videos of Sam Altman. But who you can make videos of if you don't know them and they're not connected to you.
Jordan Metzner [16:15]: Yeah. So, it is a new form of social network. Think, as we as you guys are aware, Facebook tried to launch something pretty similar about a week ago just to kind of seems like probably the preempt OpenAI here. But, here's me skydiving. Look how realistic it is. I've never skydived in my life. So, again, here's me making coffee in a home in Seattle. This is all fabricated. Welcome to Seattle. Does anyone want some coffee?
Sam Nadler [16:44]: Yeah. Amazing. What's interesting is I think yesterday you were you filmed your face for the app, you were wearing a black hoodie. And I think it in a lot of these videos, it captures you with this black hoodie.
Jordan Metzner [16:59]: Yes. But, it does as you see kind of here in this Tesla video, but, or in this cooking video. But here, I'm a farmer, and it just, it gave me a
Sam Nadler [17:09]: Yeah.
Jordan Metzner [17:09]: With a plano. New outfit. Look at my fingers there. See no good.
Sam Nadler [17:17]: Okay. Let's let's move on. Any other kind of closing thoughts on this sort of thing?
Jordan Metzner [17:22]: Here's the Labrador making sushi.
Sam Nadler [17:31]: Oh, it's cute. I'm sure he'd chomp it up. That's hilarious. Alright. Well, yeah. So final thoughts, and then let's let's get into some news, which I think, you know
