i don't believe any of the claims of "cash-flow positive" in this story. remember that private companies are broadly able to *lie their asses off* if it's not to an investor

OpenAI is sunsetting Sora, but it's not the end for AI video generation

The generative video startups with enterprise users and a steady cash flow are increasingly optimistic about the future.

It has also been theorised, by some people who have been right before, that this is OpenAI getting out ahead of very damaging things emerging about how Sora has been used.

I guess we'll find out.
