Key quotes
· 4 pulledActor, writer and producer Tyler Perry had already seen enough of Sora's early demos to put a planned $800 million studio expansion on indefinite hold. That's not hype. That's a person who builds things for a living, genuinely frightened.
OpenAI just killed Sora without warning. Your favourite AI tool could be next. And that should give all of us serious pause.
When OpenAI launched Sora, it landed like a thunderclap. A standalone app. A scrolling social feed. Hyper-realistic AI video conjured from a few lines of text.
Within days, it had shot to the top of the Apple App Store.
