We're working on a promo video for our smartphone-based CW practice app. We had great luck last week using the sora-2 app to create B-Roll footage for the Gladych Files . This week, I'm hoping to make an entire scripted trailer for the CW app using sora-2. There are issues though. The first one is that while the sora app has a storyboard feature, (at least the one I can access this week), the API does not. It does however allow you to pass in reference images to bridge scenes. That's pretty cool, and seems to work. I'm working on a Python script to wait for bridging images between clips. That's worked out ok. The real issue, so far, has been sora-2 moderation. Profanity and Real-Person Filters You cannot pass the image of a real person, (even one sora-2 invented), between clips. Moderation stops it every time. ( Moderation is what sora-2 calls its engine that decides if it's able to make your video at all.) This is what set off a cascade of moderatio...
I deployed the LLM Psy-ops detection app earlier today! For those of you just hopping onboard, the WhyFiles ran an episode highlighting a simple, logical scoring method publicized by NCI for determining if a piece media or new article was emotionally manipulative, (think propaganda), or not. I was looking for a good app to practice deployment, guardrails, and evals, and this one suggested by a @somethingLethal on reddit seemed promising in all those regards. If you'd like to try it, you can find the app at https://projecttoucans.com/gladych_files_psy_ops . LLMs, Simple Math, and Pricing The Psy-op scoring instrument requires that the model sum the scores for the twenty categories. gpt-4o-mini did not sum any of the scores correctly. It got close, but that was about it. I experimented with the python code interpreter to cure the simple math issue. The code interpreter seemed reasonable at first. I mean, three cents per compute minute , not bad right? Ins...
