Fi 🏳️⚧️lol openai's fucked.
"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.
The Embodiment of RED 
Maybe. Imagine if the public found out that Sora, into which Disney was still POISED to pour funds, was used to make:
* any of the crap Trump keeps vomiting into truth.social (more like "truth.seldom")
* the videos that helped spur needless fear and government response in Mexico after the latest cartel boss was killed during apprehension
If either side had enough indicators that Sora was used to these ends, both sides might decide shuttering it was a shrewd move.
@munin Besides, it's not THAT much effort to make these announcements today, then next Wednesday announce a new project aimed at pro filmmakers, priced so studios are 98% of the market, into which The Mouse will maybe dump that bil.
Wash both companies' hands, replying "social responsibility" when asked why.
Make it so only the well-funded can play in the dirt.
Continued profit.
