It's been a long time since I've read something that isn't completely garbage from Fortune or Forbes.

  We’re already seeing the junk data problem rear its ugly head. OpenAI sunset its AI video app Sora while reassigning the team to other divisions. This at its core was a junk data problem because their world model lacked sufficient understanding of physics leading to realistic prediction.
No. They shut down Sora because video generation took too much compute and they needed to allocate all the compute to training new LLMs and serving Codex users. Sora was far from being able to generate revenue. Nothing to do with Sora not understanding physics.

China is an engineers' country, but US and Germany are now lawyers' countries
