Our first look at Sora (AI video generation)
|
Hey Reader, A super-quick share for today – last night I got access to Sora, the new video-generation model from OpenAI. I handed the keyboard to my 10-year-old son to see what he'd do with it, and here are the results: Watch: Our First Look at Sora Video AI ••• (By the way, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for lots more free tutorials and walkthroughs like this.)

It's ironic, of course, that the first white-collar job to be replaced by AI is likely to be the job that many of AI's creators held for most of their careers. It also makes a lot of sense – the folks who are making large language models are coders themselves,...
Hey Reader, This week, my students and I have been talking a lot about the climate effects of AI. The footprint of AI usage has been a big issue for years – and it's become an even more common question because of viral headlines claiming that AI "drinks a bottle of water" to generate even a small amount of content.
