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?

lol, wow, that's a -huge- fuckup.

@munin Bullshit generation company contracts found to be bullshit. Does that sum it up? 🤔

@arazil

No, not really, because contract law is substantially more interesting when it comes to what happens when contracts are breached than just "oh bullshit"; there are actual financial and business implications for this.
