They are mostly "faster" than the majority of humans. They are rarely better than experienced and talented humans at the majority of tasks they are able to do. They are better on both scales on a small thin slice of work tasks.
I dunno I was listening to someone explain this on a podcast and to put up something on the scale of a typical land based data center would make it, by orders of magnitude, the largest spaced based object ever made and most of the size would be the radiators.
I have the same car and want to do this, but not for the reasons the author noted but because the GPS unit in the car is broken when paired with Carplay and has the wrong compass heading causing navigation to be completely useless.
I have reported this to Toyota multiple times with videos detailing the problem and they have denied the problem and ultimately when faced with the evidence simply refused to fix it.
I've been a big fan of Toyota's Production System and their management culture, but this experience has really diminished the brand for me. I realize these problems exist with all cars today. The pattern seems to be to foist low-quality hardware and software on their customers and take no responsibility for the results. Software bugs aren't what they consider a "typical car problem" so they simply don't fix them.
It's open source software. If you discover the bug, have written a failing test that demonstrates it, and a proposed solution to it, then maybe you can be annoyed when the authors close it as wontfix.
Otherwise OSS is pretty much as-is, where-is, with the exception of very widely used and corporately supported projects.
I would expect that lighter motor components would potentially allow weight reduction in load bearing components. Not an advantage for SUV-type cars, but for light and ultralight vehicles it could add up to more weight saving and longer ranges.
Others have provided explanations for things like object persistence, for example keeping a memory of the rendering outside of the frame.
The comment from the expert is definitely interesting and compelling, but clearly still speculation based on the following comment.
> I won't be surprised if Sora is trained on lots of synthetic data using Unreal Engine 5. It has to be!
I like the speculation though, the comments provide some convincing explanations for how this might work. For example, the idea that it is trained using synthetic 3-dimensional data from something like UE5 seems like a brilliant idea. I love it.
Also in his example video the physics look very wrong to me. The movement of the coffee waves are realistic-ish at best. The boat motion also looks wrong and doesn't match up with the liquid much of the time.
Just having a better or bigger model? Better training data, better feedback process, etc.
Seems more likely then "it can simulate reality".
Also I take anecdotal reviews like that with a grain of salt. I follow numerous AI groups on Reddit and elsewhere and many users seem to have strong opinions that their tool of choice is the best. These reviews are highly biased.
Not to say I'm not impressed, but it's just been released.
