Open AI is Deleting Sora - Thoughts as a Weekly User

From the creator

OpenAI is shutting down Sora, but this is not really a story about “AI failing.” It’s a story about cost, compute, priorities, and a company deciding that experimental consumer video was not where it could afford to stay focused right now. In this video I break down why Sora likely had to go, why the app mattered creatively, why this is a rough signal to core users who actually built on it, and what this says about where OpenAI is heading next. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: Tweet: https://x.com/soraofficialapp/status/2036546752535470382 Tibor on Spud and more: https://x.com/btibor91/status/2036540895986602266 Sora (time is ticking) https://sora.chatgpt.com/ Article: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/2-charts-explain-why-openai-just-pulled-the-plug-on-sora-133016441.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMWnisNpseB9p2G2nz5M20GvjkQM0eVv72HoqHUTe_L56Fe2rb6dzwT6nPdZReE36Mwl7f6zvCfDhT-DgiPLSFK9ggmbTIwZD5uK0PYj-Wlcp2BFNTFdJc9YtoqgPtf4-X6BKwm8qTyNnahHRMPeLWh11s-SN-7tQAnXP6bA537a MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching MattVideoProductions!

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
