Some shots are indeed impossible to one shot, but others can serendipitously turn out better than you wanted.
I'd say it averages 2.5 generations per shot. A lot of single one off one shots, and some (few) shots that just won't work no matter how hard you prompt.
That said, it's likely you'll find usable footage even in the losses. Videos are meant to be cut. A failed generation might still have salvageable contents you can cut to/from.
Veo 3 is one of the weaker video models, surprisingly!
Google and OpenAI are both really far behind the Chinese at this point. Perhaps Google will unveil something groundbreaking at Google I/O, but both companies have been trailing for well over a year at this point.
One of the reasons OpenAI gave up was not only were they losing money, but they were also ridiculously far behind (11th or below in the rankings).
The models most professionals use are Kling o3, Kling 3.0 and, more recently, Seedance 2.0. These are all Chinese models.
Seedance 2.0 stands out as an almost order of magnitude improvement over everything else in the industry. It's truly the SOTA model. It blows everything else out of the water, and it's truly remarkable to experience it in use.
On April 30th, Alibaba's new Happy Horse model rolls out. They poached folks from Kling to build it. It's supposedly 2-5x cheaper than Seedance 2.0, and its ELO scores rank it as the new highest performing model.
The non exhaustive thing is annoying as hell. You might as well delete old videos because there’s no way to get to them if you don’t remember the link. I used to be able to find this video I took in college 20 years ago. There’s just no way for me to get to it anymore.
I don’t know. All I know is the video I’m looking for has a very unique title and used to come up as the main search result less than 3 years ago and it’s unfindable now. It’s from 2006.
For everyone confused by all the different ways, these things are measured. Here’s the simplest breakdown.
Total U.S. energy use: about 27.6 million GWh/yr
From renewables: about 2.5 million GWh/yr
Renewables’ share of total energy: about 9%
This includes the total energy usage, including cars and buses and propane for heating homes and like just about everything else. This is the number we need to maximize.
Every new mathematician that comes along doesn’t know everything that has come before him. He needs to go learn all the math that his predecessors did. I don’t see how an LLM coming up with these proofs changes that.
Because the problem space is basically infinite. If a person is working on a problem, its probably interesting to at least one person. Randomly walking through the problem space might be interesting, but I don't know how the signal will fare against other humans.
Short brewing time. Finnish sima is similar - sugar, lemon, water, yeast, ferment for a couple of days. Alcoholic drinks are usually fermented much longer, aged, and processed much more intensively.
I once got a Root Beer brewing kit as a gift. It noted that a trivial amount of alcohol would be produced by the process (no included or added yeast either!) and it wasn't a big deal.
