I get what you mean, but the last year has been a story of sudden limits and ceilings of capability. The (damned impressive) video you post is a bunch of extremely brief snippets strung together. I'm not yet sure we can move substantially beyond that to something transformative or pervasively destructive.

A couple years ago, we thought the trend was without limits - a five second video would turn into a five minute video, and keep going from there. But now I wonder if perhaps there are built in limits to how far things can go without having a data center with a billion Nvidia cards and a dozen nuclear reactors serving them power.

Again, I don't know the limits, but we've seen in the last year some sudden walls pop up that change our sense of the trajectory down to something less "the future is just ten months away."



Approximately 1 second was how long AI could hold it together. If you had a lot of free time you could extend that out a bit, but it'll mess something up. So generally people who make them will run it slow-motion. This is the first clip I've seen with it at full speed.

The quick cuts thing is a huge turnoff so if they have a 15 second clip later on, I missed it.

When I say "1second" I mean that's what I was doing with automatic1111 a couple years ago. And every video I've seen is the same 30-60 generated frames...


For the record, the entire video was quick cuts.
