Speaker discusses Sora, an AI model that can generate animation (currently up to ~1 minute) and could plausibly reach feature-length (e.g., 90 minutes) in the future. The speaker argues that while creative ability (ideas, taste, scriptwriting) could let individuals produce Disney-like films with AI, the primary unpriced advantage held by Disney is distribution — that is the main area independent creators can’t yet compete on.

Sora, which is the model I think you're talking about, is really interesting because you can essentially prompt it to create. Let's just say I wanted to create an animation film. And right now I think it's only up to one minute, one minute of film. But I'm sure in the future you'll be get access to 90 minutes. And I wanted to create a film that essentially was like a Disney, a Disney film, but with my own script. Like that is in the realm of possibility in the future. So if anyone could be a Walt Disney, basically, and you can make that assumption, if you have good ideas, right? If going back to the tast thing, you know, you have good taste and you can write well and you have the skills to do that, then what is mispriced? The mispriced piece is the distribution. The only place that you can't compete with Disney is in distribution.
