Seedance 2.0 may be the first uncensored video AI that can replace Hollywood. Is China’s AI already ahead of Sora? In this episode of They Might Be Self-Aware, we break down Seedance 2.0, the China AI video model generating cinematic, multi-angle scenes from a single prompt — trained on Western IP and not asking permission.

From nightmare Will Smith AI spaghetti to indistinguishable film-quality scenes, video AI just crossed a line.

This isn’t incremental progress.

This is synthetic media going mainstream.

We debate:

• Sora vs Seedance — who’s actually ahead?
• Whether uncensored AI models behave differently than aligned ones
• Why base models can’t just be “re-neutered”
• AI romance flooding Amazon (200 books a year)
• AI code replacing engineers
• The 2034 “Singularity Tuesday” prediction
• And whether copyright is already dead

Hunter says he’d bet serious money full AI-generated TV episodes happen this year.

Daniel says the legal system is about to swing like a hammer.

Pick a side.
