#openai is shutting down #sora, its ai video generator

They say they want to shift priorities elsewhere

That's fair. Do you even remember #atlas? The browser that nobody asked for?

I think if OpenAI wants to survive, they should focus on ONE thing and do it well.

It probably means #chatgpt

Sora is a side-project, way too expensive to run and not profitable enough.

I never personally used it. Shutting it down is probably a good thing.

Less #ai slop on the internet

The start-up said it would discontinue Sora just three months after signing a multiyear deal to bring Disney characters to the service.
