My pet theory is that OpenAI releases are on hiatus pending the US elections. It would be a huge disaster to release SORA in the next few months and have it some way sway voting. What do you think?


Sora is so ridiculously expensive, they doubt it has a market.


Not that I doubt it, but curious what's the source for costs?


I don't know of any official source. But reading between the lines: Murati also told the Journal that Sora is “much more expensive”. And just how few sample videos they have output. The point of AI generated content is you _never_ need to reuse it, you can just generate more.


You can’t halt this stuff. There isn’t one player and there is considerable market incentive.


Not a chance. Aren't they gearing up for GPT-5 in the next month or two?
