News Summary: OpenAI Shuts Down Sora Video Platform; Audible Partners with British Airways

I think I reported on the Sora app when it launched back in October. The app, which enables users to access OpenAI's Sora generative AI platform on their phones to create short video clips, hit the headlines back then for two reasons. In one of the starkest "there's good news and bad news" stories yet to come out of AI, the good news (for OpenAI anyway) was that the launch broke all kinds of records, reaching one million downloads in just five days. That's faster than ChatGPT. In "on the other hand" news, it kind of sucked that people started swamping social media with fake video clips of dead people, like the beloved Robin Williams. And of course, even at the launch the copyright radar was working overtime.

A Story About Bypassing Air Canada's In-flight Network Restrictions

1 Prologue A while ago, I took a flight from Canada back to Hong Kong - about 12 hours in total with Air Canada. Interestingly, the plane actually had WiFi: However, the WiFi had restrictions. For Aeroplan members who hadn’t paid, it only offered Free Texting, meaning you could only use messaging apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, and WeChat to send text messages, but couldn’t access other websites. If you wanted unlimited access to other websites, it would cost CAD $30.75:

I was both amused and alarmed on my United flight today as the in-flight information system kept updating our arrival time as we approached our destination. In a one-minute period, it displayed our time-to-arrival successively as:

44min (correct), 5h32m, 17h8m, 21h44m, 19h36m, 1h5m, 14h20m, 9h56m, 19h33m, and 36m.

I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out a pattern but couldn’t find one, but it did show the correct time at irregular intervals, more likely than randomness would dictate.

Anyone with knowledge of these systems care to hazard a guess what was going on?
