OpenAI drops AI video tool Sora, startling Disney
On Monday evening, Walt Disney Co and OpenAI teams were working together on a project linked to Sora, OpenAI’s AI video tool. Just 30 minutes after that meeting, the Disney team was blindsided with word that OpenAI was dropping the tool altogether, a person familiar with the matter said.
OpenAI announced the move publicly on Tuesday.
“It was a big rug-pull,” according to the person, who requested anonymity to discuss the matter.
