MANIFOLD
In early 2028, will an AI be able to generate a full high-quality movie to a prompt?

EG "make me a 120 minute Star Trek / Star Wars crossover". It should be more or less comparable to a big-budget studio film, although it doesn't have to pass a full Turing Test as long as it's pretty good. The AI doesn't have to be available to the public, as long as it's confirmed to exist.

still pretty glitchy, but seems like people are starting to use harnesses to fully automate video gen

so early 2028, with gpt 7 + seedance 4, how far can that be pushed?

haven't seen a fully-automated "harness" pull off a coherent multi-shot scene like this though:

Even if it's just 30s long

@0xseraphim 16 months left

@bens real movies are jumbles of barely coherent shots strung together and are full of continuity errors. There are very few steps left to go from current tech to a movie that resolves this question YES

@0xseraphim AI can't even currently generate a "full high-quality" novel, let alone a movie.

@bens are you familiar with the plot and dialogue of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)?

@bens Megan fox runs around in it. And then there are explosions. And mythology.

@bens

Almost made a billion dollars at the box office

The plot and dialogue of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) isn't even the floor. This question's criteria just says "It should be more or less comparable to a big-budget studio film"

@bens my confidence is high that automated plot/dialogue generation passed the threshold set by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) some time ago

@0xseraphim I can tell you that I am extremely locked into SOTA hour-length vertical microdramas right now. They (1) involve some degree of human-in-the-loop still, and (2) are not remotely at the quality of "high-quality big budget studio films". That being said, progress is quite fast! That's why this market is at 28%. I'd price it closer to 10-15%, but not zero!

@bens we need the metr graph going from the microdrama to the feature film 😄

IDK how anyone looks at AI progress and thinks "wow 16 months is a long time"

@jim long time or short time?

opened a Ṁ100 YES at 21% order

Does @BrianM have 2000 separate limit orders at 36%? Do you realize you can make a limit order that is larger than 25 mana?

@FlorisvanDoorn Stop it, what?

@FlorisvanDoorn does a limit order count towards your daily prediction streak?

@ZandaZhu usually this happens when someone has a lot of mana invested, and not enough mana balance to place the limit order size they want. Spam smaller orders = 1 bigger order, doesn't matter if you're low balance because it'll fill as a sell anyway

@Gen I was thinking that he would just put his daily streak mana into the limit order everyday

@Gen I feel like in that scenario you just take a loan and then pay it back five minutes later with minimal interest
