I just imagined that instead of math papers, they released 700+ feature length films, and the only way to tell if one of them is any good is to watch it in its entirety.
That feels pretty unappealing to me.
I know it's the same for human made films, so what's the difference right? But those are good enough most of the time that it's a decent bet, and the people that made them had real skin in the game.
Contrast that with something made by a nondeterministic slop machine with no skin in the game where small details can be off in a way that's jarring. Right out the gate I have an aversion to committing that much time to something that very well may waste it.
That's actually a really interesting thought. Given Sora, and the amount of funding they have, they could have created started their own film festival and dropped 700+ feature length films, had they wanted to go in that direction. But they didn't. Hmm.
