I decided to spend a good bit of time, collating all the leading AI Video Gen platforms into an (easily updatable) reference table. With some 5 star ranking based on my own testing and experience.

I've broken down their features, quality and pricing tiers (most have a free tier)... and most require a paid subscripton for commerical work. Plus each one typically offers something unique.

So far I've included:

Kling,

Runway.

Minimax,

Pika,

Krea.

LumaLabs,

Haiper AI,

LTX Studio,

Vidu

Stable Video

Any others worth noting yet?

(*Of course we have Meta Video Gen, Sora, Adobe Firefly Video and Seaweed from Byte Dance yet to be publicly available)

Right now, I'd say I find Minimax to produce the best clips in terms of quality of motion and prompt adherence, however the lack of control over the clips other than an image reference and prompt limits the abiliy to control the output (for now).

Runway offers the most value via it's broader suite of AI powered tools on the site and the ever improving Gen 3 options. Plus leads the way with its video to video capabilities.

Kling offers the best video gen control of clips with its motion brush, highest resolution output and other video controls.

Where as LTX offers the best solution for deveoping full narrative video concepts, with superb storyboard generation, only let down by the current quality/adherence of the video generations.

Kreas unique ability to allow creatives to select from some of the leading video gen models all from one handy UI and one subscription can also prove useful, and help stem the $$$'s flowing to multiple subscriptoons.

HaiperAI, offers a very good and broad range of well developed tools and again just needs to improve the quality/adherence of the generated clips.

Hopefully, the reference page proves useful for some: 

With a bit more time, I'll try and include a cost per second of generation. Which is slightly tricky due to the varying monthly fees and each platform having it's own credit usage system.

I understand there was controversy with the tesla bots pouring beers, that they were implied that they might be autonomous while they weren't etc. But I have been thinking that this technology could be very practical to have publicly available.

You could have a bot at your house and use it as security or check in with your pets with your VR headset while you are away. Perhaps you could operate these bots to do heavy/dangerous work such as roof work on your house while you are chilling at your couch. Or you could hire someone with say plumbing expertise from across the globe (maybe through an airbnb style service with reviews), they put on their VR headset and connect to your bot and fix your pipes. Figuratively speaking, but also literally speaking? There's going to be for sure sex services offered, and we'll hear of a few controversies of crushed cocks in the media.

On a more serious note, another interesting application I am thinking is elderly care. I live in Sweden and I have noticed that particularly in the countryside, the state hires caretakers to drive to old people's homes and help them out with food, bathing and so on. They have an emergency button for emergencies, but the caretaker still has to drive there. If these people had a bot in their house that the caretaker could connect and help with the food, bathing or check in when the emergency beeper is activated, that would be a lot more efficient. This would help with a personel shortage. Expand this to healthcare in general, a modern hospital service could connect to your bot and provide first aid or in general do some check ups.

I think there is a lot of potential. Perhaps as a transitional stage to autonomous robots. Maybe you could get the option for a non-autonomous version that could later be upgraded to autonomous if you choose to do so.

Just some shower thoughts on the subject

As happy as I am that Hinton and Hopfield won the Nobel prize in physics, I can't help but wonder:

1. Does this indicate that we're finding fewer breakthroughs in Physics?
2. Or does this signify a new philosophical paradigm, namely that as a species, we’ve entered an era where we know that there might be limits to our intuition about the laws of nature? That there might be laws of nature that dictate how proteins fold that might not be discoverable to modern chemistry or physics or biology, but with enough data, these laws can be discovered by neural networks and implemented in them to produce systems that can recreate these laws for arbitrary inputs. That it represents a fundamental shift in our philosophical perspective about what is possible - that there are problems that we will never be able to come up with an elegant quantitative theory for, but that neural networks will be able to solve with extremely high accuracy.

The second bullet point definitely goes against my intuitions of nature, which dictate that everything is deterministic in physics at the macro level and is uncertain and probabilistic at the quantum level.

I haven't seen this exactly discussed before so I'm curious what y'all think.

For those who don't know about the Chinese Room thought experiment:

Imo the answer to the Chinese room is simple: it doesn’t matter. If the room responds in the exact same way as a speaker would, you should treat it the same way you would any person who does understand what they’re translating. I find all the arguments about whether or not it truly understands to be irrelevant, because for every single intent and purpose, it acts like it does, and as long as it never doesn’t, then it should be treated as such.

This obviously extends to AI seeming to have consciousness - if it answers every question we give it as if it has consciousness, demonstrates that it has memories, doesn't hallucinate any more than we do, etc, and for all other intents and purposes acts as if it has consciousness, there is no reason to not say it is conscious.

As a side note, we have no idea if any of us are just p zombies (Philosophical zombie - Wikipedia) or Chinese rooms or not. So it’s best to just assume it doesn’t matter. Otherwise you get into “well you look human but do you REALLY understand?” And you can’t prove it. I don't believe P zombies are even possible for this reason.

From what little i know of it, i think it’s the idea that the brain is constantly predicting the outcomes of any situation it’s in, and that this is an integral part of learning and adapting to new information. If something like this was replicated in an AI system, would it then have the ability to learn and adapt, basically making it AGI by default? I’m kinda a layman at the topic so try not to roast me too much.

Original Title: I remember reading this neuroscience paper from the Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and Radboud University’s Donders Institute back before Chat GPT came out and now that we have models like o1 preview it made complete sense. The paper is about the brain, but it makes so much sense now.
