Haha. This was my thinking this morning. Like: "Oh cool... a talking computer.... but can it read a 2000 page book, give me the summary and find a sentence out of... it can? Oh... well it's lame anyway."

The Sora release is even more mind blowing - not the video generation in my mind but the idea that it can infer properties of reality that it has to learn and constrain in its weights to properly generate realistic video. A side effect of its ability is literally a small universe of understanding.

I was thinking that I want to play with audio to audio LLMs. Not text to speech and reverse but literally sound in sound out. It clears away the problem of document layout etc. and leaves room for experimentation on the properties of a cognitive being.
