King of your own world

Dear reader,
Dear reader,
This week, I took advantage of the UK school holiday week to take the girls skiing.
Looking at the beauty of the Alps on the border between Italy and France, I thought over and over about how beautiful they were, feeling like the images were “feeding the soul”.
Also this week, I learned from the images on my phone that OpenAi has released Sora, a model capable of creating up to one-minute long videos of cinematic quality.
The videos circulating on the net are incredible. The quality of the images and the understanding of physics is astonishing.
You look at these videos and find it hard to believe that they weren’t shot by a cameraman with real subjects in a real world.
The contrast between the Alps and the Sora videos multiplying on Twitter led me to philosophize about the definition of reality.
Especially in a world where, for a few weeks now, Apple Vision Pro has been on the market. An augmented reality headset that doesn’t need controllers and understands where you’re looking, creating an effect perceived similar to telepathy.
Try putting these two products together. An almost telepathic augmented and virtual reality headset capable of deceiving our senses. Artificial intelligence software capable of creating fantastic worlds in real-time.
These technologies are not yet mature, the current costs and trade-offs are evident. But the feeling of being at the beginning of a new future is strong.
A future where physical and virtual blur, a dystopian future where you’ll experience the beauty of the Alps from your living room.
A future where new and incredible worlds appear “real” before your eyes. Worlds to escape to, take refuge in, to be king.
Worlds that will end up seeming more beautiful than those “analog”, sad, low-resolution ones, limited by stupid laws of physics.
Have a great weekend,
Simone
