Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora

The studio giant will no longer move forward with its OpenAI investment, as the AI company exits the video generation business.

The Hollywood Reporter

"Disney is also exiting the deal it signed with OpenAI last year, in which it pledged to invest $1 billion in the company and agreed to license some of its characters for use in Sora."

Realized that mickey mouse porn wasn't good for their image huh.

Oh, per -this- story, apparently openai fucked -themselves- by shuttering the service without notifying Disney about it?

@munin having worked there, I can tell you, if there's one thing Disney loves, it's surprises.
