But is Sora dead?

Richard Lawler at The Verge writes that OpenAI’s video generation platform is getting shuttered and that their billion-dollar deal with Disney will go with it.

Yet, Matt Birchler made an astute observation on the announcement:

Of note, the first version of this post said Sora was shutting down, then they edited it to say the Sora app was shutting down. Take that for what you will in regards to their video plans.

Personally, I suspect that while its app is getting canned, Sora’s capabilities will live on in ChatGPT, or whatever ‘superapp’ OpenAI is reportedly developing.
