Are we sure it was in that order?

It feels like the bubble is starting to pop. A crisis of confidence is not something OAI can afford at this stage...

Nothing like an ill-considered war with global economic consequences to bring reality crashing back down on Silicon Valley; sometimes life throws a big old margin call your way and things break down.

It's not because of the bubble. There is literally no advantage to generating slop videos. It looks cool for a while but no audience is going to consume such videos.

Any platform which focusses on AI generated videos is doomed.

sir, have you seen tiktok?

So much for “replacing VFX artists”. It’s not necessarily a harbinger of doom for the AI industry, but this indicates that the most fervent AI boosters were dead wrong.

I never understood the appeal or business promise of video slop, with or without Disney's blessing.

The only people I've seen post AI Disney content was in the Facebook groups for the parks / cruises. Before that it was whatever clipart they could find. There's just no market for it. No one is going to pay to make fake disney art.

What happens to all the compute that was allocated to run that service? They would have signed multi-year contracts.

This was bound to happen. IP is data and data is moat.

The thing that didn't make sense with this app: who would ever want to scroll only AI generated videos over a combined feed?

In practice people would just generate the videos with the app then post them on regular social media in which case OAI would not get the ad revenue for that

Smart move. No clear path to growing meaningful revenue mixed with very expensive inference costs is not a good mix ahead of an IPO --- oh and not to mention competitors in TikTok and Instagram that are doing just fine.
miltonlost•7m ago
Is it a smart move? Or just plainly obvious when Sora was probably hemorraghing money and had no future? A smarter move would have not to make this horrible product that no one wanted in the first place

After placing my hand on the red-hot stove, aren't I super smart for now removing my hand?
