Saw this too. Here’s what I wrote to my friends about some of these new advances in technology:

I am genuinely reconsidering a lotta my envisioned path in CS as a CS student. I kinda want independence from a techbro phenomenon that is deeply concerning me. For lack of a better term. Sora and all this tech looks cool and is pretty technically cool, but I worry how ethically guided much of this tech is getting. It seems very unethically, and inappropriately guided. I also wonder how ethics is gonna catch up to this expansion in technology. To me, Sora is useless to humanity. And it’s only humanity who might think it is useful. As a phenomenon also, it seems to be no good. I think much of this open source AI has spawned a phenomenon that does not operate in good-faith. And if so, I hope karma comes back and it destroys itself just like it was created. And I choose not to attach myself to something which I think is no good.

That all said, I really like the research, discussion, and ethics for technology. I just really think it’d be a shame if we wholly replace our own free thinking with technological models which was really, in the first place, an original product of our own thinking.
