Sora 2, Tilly Norwood, and the New Slop Era | E2187
Today’s show: Sora 2 will generate a video of whatever you like and respects no IP (unless they opt out) On a brand new TWiST, Jason and Alex check out Sora 2, the latest text-to-video app from TWiST 500 mainstays OpenAI, and look at some of the video videos that have already emerged from the TikTok-style scrolling video app. (TikSlop?) THEN we’re considering the case of “AI actress” Tilly Norwood, and whether her big debut is a legit shift in the world of entertainment or just a marketing gimmick-slash-sales pitch. PLUS Jason’s thoughts on the Wealthfront IPO, how Spotify shifted the entire music economy, Jason’s pitch for making bets with stock purchases, why Americans need more financial literacy, AND another check-in with the sharps over at Polymarket.
Key Points
- The US government shutdown could delay IPOs, slow down H-1B visa processing, and affect startups that rely on government contracts.
- Wealthfront's impending IPO and its robust growth signal a strong foothold in the Gen Z market, despite potential vulnerabilities to interest rate changes.
- OpenAI's Sora 2 video generation model has generated significant excitement and demand, contrasting starkly with Meta's less successful Vibes product.
