Sora, the money pit, has been shut down.

Who could have predicted this???

"If we just open it up, let more people see what this technology can do *something* will happen!"

And now something has happened.

Sora videos in particular always had a creepy unseemly quality, something about the poses people would strike, the movement made me think there might have been too much porn in the training data.

I had a friend in uni who was an art major and he made this digital frame back in 2000 that displayed a random internet image. He wrote his own crawler and like half of what it came back with was porn. So this could have happened easily.
