OpenAI just gave up on Sora and its billion-dollar Disney deal

OpenAI will wind down its Sora video generating AI model and app, and end a recently-announced deal with disney.

The Verge
@scottjenson I bet Sora was massively expensive to maintain, and it didn’t provide a lot of value for users, other than light entertainment. With OpenAI’s shift to focus on productivity tools, I bet the video generation work will eventually shift to become part of some enterprise suite. It seems like something that advertisers/marketeers would pay for, rather than the tons of users making silly videos to share for free on social media.
@ramsey Google is the only company that can capitalize over this, for now.
