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.

    @bridget the 3rd one is definitely the case, but it might also be the other two as well

    @bridget each video generation was costing like >$1 to my understanding, which is CRAZY huge compared to the cost of text generation

    and they were giving that shit away for free iirc
