Sora:
From Sora - OpenAI’s shiny new TikTok clone -

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced the release of Sora 2, an audio and video generator to succeed last year’s Sora. Along with the model, the company also launched a linked social app called Sora, where users can generate videos of themselves and their friends to share on a TikTok-style algorithmic feed. OpenAI’s work on a new social platform was previously reported by Wired.

While we haven’t been able to test the invite-only app and Sora 2 model ourselves yet, OpenAI has shared impressive examples. In particular, Sora 2 is better at following the laws of physics, making the videos more realistic. OpenAI’s public clips depict a beach volleyball game, skateboard tricks, gymnastics routine

If you let your child consume content on Sora - OpenAI’s shiny new TikTok clone - or whatever “Vibes” slopoff Meta is peddling this week - you are a bad parent.

Note: TechCrunch reviews of the two apps at links above

These “services” offer an unending feed of AI generated videos - garbage, all the way down - intended to remove the already tenuous connection between short form video and reality, in pursuit of the scum coated bottom of the media consumption barrel.

There’s no wiggle room here. No shades of gray. If you let your kids use either of these apps, you’ve failed the most basic test of guardianship: protecting the undeveloped mind of a child from a machine designed to liquefy attention and hardwire addiction.

Don’t rationalize it. Don’t negotiate with it. Don’t turn the choice into a think-piece debate. Just say no. And if your child screams at you, fine. Better they scream at you now than spend their adulthood unable to sit in silence, unable to read a book, unable to hold a single thought of their own.

The Hidden Behemoth Behind Every AI Answer

LOTS of graphics.

What happens when you say “Hello” to ChatGPT?

Such a simple query might seem trivial, but making it possible across billions of sessions requires immense scale. While OpenAI reveals little information about its operations, we’ve used the scraps we do have to estimate the impact of ChatGPT—and of the generative AI industry in general.

This article is part of The Scale Issue.

OpenAI’s actions also provide hints. As part of the United States’ Stargate Project, OpenAI will collaborate with other AI titans to build the largest data centers yet. And AI companies expect to need dozens of “Stargate-class” data centers to meet user demand.
