open a i saw a video generator the slew of AI announcements that google has made this week why

facebook's mark Zuckerberg and opening i sam altman and jeff bezos from amazon are donating to

trump's inauguration fund and what the plan is there.

And GM killing Cruz and then Cruz's former CEO calling GM a bunch of dummies, which I think might be

the tech insult of the year. Joining us as always to talk about it all is Ron John Roy of margins.

Ron John, welcome to the show. I still do not have access to SORA, Alex, so you're

going to have to tell me what is it for? Well, I just got it. I got access last night. And even before I

did, I wrote this story asking what it's for. So we've talked about SORA a couple times on the show.

It's Open AI's Video Generator, where basically you put a prompt in and you can

generate a video based off of that prompt. And it will create basically anything you want,

except for if there's people into it. This is very, very cool technology. And it's clear that

the technology like understands physics. And so that's like a pretty big step or at least it understands it somewhat.

And that's a pretty big step for AI because it's showing that these models kind of understand the relation between different objects and then how they move in the real world, which is actually, I think, a pretty interesting leap.

Okay.

So I can create whatever video I want.
