Sora was "repurposed" as their AI slop social network. OpenAI is not getting out of the business of AI video in general, they're just realizing that an AI version of TikTok isn't the best use of their capital/resources.

WSJ is reporting that they're entirely dropping their video gen features.

> CEO Sam Altman announced the changes to staff on Tuesday, writing that the company would wind down products that use its video models. In addition to the consumer app, OpenAI is also discontinuing a version of Sora for developers and won’t support video functionality inside ChatGPT, either.

lol.
You’re not seeing the issue are you? Anyone with half a brain could’ve told you what would happen.
It’s jarring that a group of ‘smart’ people did something stupid. It shows a lack of vision and focus.

Smart people do stupid things all the time. Especially when they are moving fast and trying new things.
At least they were able to recognize their mistake and course correct.
