Which is an interesting take, because anything sex-related seems to be the only way to make money with AI.
I hope the real reason is that they’re running out of money to try new features, but the stated reason isn’t so bad either: that they aren’t yet able to surveil their users fast enough. Hearing Worldcoin failing to function is nice.
I think it’s about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.
That was probably what sunk the Disney deal.
Disney can already make shitty CG animation for basically nothing. What Sora did was offer a way of doing it without any real expertise, but Disney already had that. It was probably impossible for Sora to actually produce lower-tier Disney content for less than Disney is already able to do it for.
