OpenAI shuttered Sora and the only one that didn't see it coming was Disney. I'm sure their invitation to the funeral got lost in the mail. OpenAI is saying that this is just them getting focused, back to basics, blah blah blah.

They are lost. They are led by Sam Altman, a person that will say anything to anyone, as long as it helps him get whatever it is he wants that day. Too harsh? Just read Empire of AI and then revisit that thought.

OpenAI was just throwing spaghetti at the wall, no doubt about that. But this newfound focus, I have my doubts. Nothing has changed about the company. They are still trying to find a way to make money. They are still committing to spending far more than they make or could make. They will start chasing rabbits again. They will have to chase them.

But Pat, they'll print money with ads!

Oh? Maybe, but will they print a trillion dollars? I doubt it. The whole industry is ridiculous right now but not the funny kind...it's the sad kind.
