Strategy positions
Accelerationendorsestentative
Build faster; delay costs more than capabilityArgues video generation is on a trajectory similar to language modeling, qualitative improvements every few months, and that the next bottleneck will be control rather than fidelity.
Sora generates video by predicting future frames from a sequence of input frames. This formulation lets us scale data and compute in the same way that text models do.
