I don’t buy that OpenAI abruptly decided to shutdown Sora because they have something better coming soon, but I have to guesses as to why:

  • They found out it’s being used for something really bad and they might be held liable

  • They’re trying to get ahead of growing anti-AI backlash and are trying to present themselves as less “sloppy” since a lot more of the backlash is targeted at generated images and video.

  • The AI bubble is bursting and video generation is one of the more expensive parts of their business and they’re trying to cut costs.

  • After they paid Disney a buttload of money to use their characters, a lot of other companies were coming after them for the same deal and there’s no way would have been able to afford that at scale and the existence of any such deals makes copyright lawsuits against them much more likely to win.
