By
Robert Hart
A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
OpenAI is planning to officially introduce fictional character collaborations in Sora, moving away from its previous opt-out copyright policy that created chaos with unauthorized content like meth-cooking characters and Nazi SpongeBobs. Bill Peebles, Sora team leader, confirmed that character cameos are "on the roadmap" and teased a sanctioned way to use copyrighted characters. This comes as CEO Sam Altman pivoted from the company's controversial copyright approach that had made the platform problematic for rightsholders.
