This is clearly a sign that the product failed to draw in enough customers and its viability was overhyped.
Hopefully, it is the start of the AI bubble bursting.
I hate to hear this! I really enjoyed Sora. My friends and I made so many memes of each other on there. It was great for illustrating inside jokes.
But are you willing to pay $5 to $10 a roll when you’re making a video joke?
See, @CodeBlooded@programming.dev 's goofing off with free version is what destroyed the AI bubble. Of course, he wasn’t going to convert to paid service.
RIP Sgt General Jessica Foster. Semper fudge.
Wao, that didn’t last too long, did it? 🤣
Middle school interships?
Sora 2 was massive lost leader for OpenAI, and a massive basis for its compute demand. Images and video use expensive compute time, and its ambition level was high before Seadance 2, and small open models. With its falling behind in coding/office LLMs as well, only Skynet/Government can pay for its roadmap.
Most useless pile of jackshit to be ever created.
