Episode notes
Host Experiences Being Remixed
- Kevin describes scrolling a feed full of Sora-created videos of himself made by others, ranging from affectionate to bizarre.
- He notes zero revenue from those uses and mixed feelings about being widely remixed across cultures.
Model Crafts Scenes From Genre Cues
- Sora 2 synthesizes style, framing, soundtrack and genre cues to produce coherent scenes from minimal prompts.
- That hidden prompt-engineering and classification is a major part of its meme-making power.
