alt Hacker NewsNot available in France yet, I'd we interested to know if it's a matter of progressive rollout, or some form of legislation (EU or otherwise ?) that's making OpenAI cautious ? Something like the EU AI Act [1] ?
In a sane world, any video produced by Sora would be required to have a form of watermarking that's on par with what intellectual property owners require.
We've put people in jail for sharing copyrighted movies, and don't see why we would refrain from mandating that AI generated videos have some caption that says, I don't know, "This video was generated with AI" ?
People would not respect the mandate, and we would consider that illegal, and use the monopoly on force to take money out of their bank account.
I know, it sounds mad and soooo 20th century - maybe that's why OpenAI overlords are not deeming peasants in France worthy of "a cat in a suit drinking coffee in an office" and "you'll never believe what the other candidate is doing to your kids".

EDIT: apparently some form of watermarking is built in (but it's not obvious in the examples, for some reason.)

Imagine a culture that would harness their frustration at being left out in the direction of innovating on their own.
Defining the status quo on things like watermarks by leading the field and then demonstrating how to act from the front.
Seems like they'd be more effective than one that settles for derision and calling for taxes and rules from the back of the pack, so they can presumably profit off the terrible evil things being built.
Not gonna happen in EU too soon, imo. It still works with a VPN so the fence is not so protected.
Each of Google's AI things were delayed by months, I assumed due to GDPR, but I haven't seen such delays from OpenAI yet.

It's a completely different thing. IP owners want watermarks on their IP so they can prosecute people who use their IP without giving credit, nobody's forcing them to watermark it.
