it looks like sora is going absolutely awful for OpenAI. brought to you by the distinguished poster in this thread who made an account here just to post OpenAI’s sora marketing material (and opinions derived from it), which prompted me to check on how the pivot to video is going for the US Plagiarism Machines & Mediocre Men corporation
I haven’t seen any numbers on how much Sora cost to train, nor how much it costs to run- I can’t help but believe it’s painfully high.
last references I saw were that chatgpt et al were $1m/day, and those numbers were pre-sora.
I wish I could cheer for it unambiguously (“yes! burn that money! go ahead! make yourself poorer! woooooo!”) but unfortunately the fucking side effects still exist too -_-
Fucking giant water and power guzzling data centers, ugh.
