> “We’re saying goodbye to Sora. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you,” the company said in a statement. “What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work.”
> A source familiar with the matter tells The Hollywood Reporter that 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.
> OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, is not getting out of the AI video business (AI video is one of many tools that can take form in the ChatGPT app), of course, but it appears the standalone Sora app will be a casualty of its evolving ambitions.
> “As the nascent AI field advances rapidly, we respect OpenAI’s decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere,” a Disney spokesperson said. “We appreciate the constructive collaboration between our teams and what we learned from it, and we will continue to engage with AI platforms to find new ways to meet fans where they are while responsibly embracing new technologies that respect IP and the rights of creators.”
Don’t think this means much in the big picture, but you gotta celebrate the small, petty victories where you can get them.
Can’t wait for this bubble to burst
The bubble needs to happen now so that these evil data centers don’t end up in every neighborhood
I’m guessing they were humiliated by some of those fake AI trailers getting more views than their trailers
I think it’s a bad idea to be wading in AI waters anyway.
so what did Disney end up getting out of this?
reputational damage?
Square Enix should make an AI named Sora instead
So I see we’ve gone from the „this can be a loss leader“ phase to „Oh shit we’re hemorrhaging money, shut everything down that you can“ phase over at OpenAI.
