'Context: OpenAl is shutting down its Sora Al video generation app and API approximately six months after its September 2025 launch. The app is closing amid rising safety concerns over deepfakes, high computational costs, and a strategic pivot toward enterprise Al, robotics research, and profitability ahead of a potential IPO'

I don't think that that means that "Sora" has gone away.
Probably just no longer "publicly" available.

@miguelpergamon OpenAI are grifters who put their stolen-product profit in front of human welfare every time; Sam Altman has said his company might destroy humanity.

In other words, they may do anything that could benefit themselves financially (in spite of losing billions of US dollars annually).

@pivic

I'd give a guess at where I think Sora will still be used and by who but that's just too easy to do.

The video-ai bro's will probably be lobbying to make all imagery legal no matter the content, context or source.

@miguelpergamon there is plenty of lobbying to exempt theft from copyright and IP claims, legally speaking. The New York Times lawsuit against OpenAI and the pitiful publishers-vs-Anthropic settlement say a lot about the state of that.

Thieves are gonna steal if they can get away with it without consequence.
