Isn’t all this “OpenAI drops…” stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman’s recent statement that they’re going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.
But if it’s lose, I guarantee they’ll Ministry of Truth that statement.

Their statement in this article has a half dozen different reasons for dropping the project. A suspicious number of reasons, and all of them sound more like excuses. You’re definitely right about the Ministry of Truth though, because this embarrassment has been in development since 2024.
