Sora the end?

It's being reported that OpenAI is shutting down the popular video generation model Sora. It became a leader of AI slop on social media and a convenient content production tool for many creators. The exact reason for the project's termination is currently unknown, as is whether it is ending completely or evolving into something new and improved.

The WSJ states that this move is part of OpenAI's business shift towards programming tools ahead of its upcoming IPO. In addition to shutting down Sora, the company will also abandon video generation features in ChatGPT. They will also terminate a $1 billion deal with Disney, under which characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and "Star Wars" were supposed to appear in Sora.

In a statement to CNET, the company explained that the developers of Sora will focus on research in world simulation for robotics.

Other users are wondering whether this is a real closure or a well-thought-out strategy for hype. Did they really just free up a niche for someone else?

In this situation, I'm curious about how valuable the username @sora will remain and what will happen to it next.

The username was purchased in late February 2024 for 27,500 USDT.
