Great stuff.

Well, I found this very funny in part because when Sora came out, there was this burst of enthusiasm for like, soon we'll just be generating our own movies and TV.

You won't need Hollywood.

But then it turned out that you can't actually do, even if you want to make stuff with Sora, even if you wanted to include clips of it to help augment other films you were making.

And there were a couple of filmmakers who tried to do this, even some in critical ways, where they were like, well, I can use pieces of Sora-generated video to illustrate this point I went to about AI.

But you couldn't actually use Sora footage in anything that you wanted to sell to Netflix or Amazon or whoever put in a theater.

Because like the terms of use basically did not allow it because of how much risk you were at of getting sued for, you know, utilizing other people's shit, content other people made.

OpenAI was not willing to indemnify the users.

Adobe has a similar like slop AI video generation machine that does indemnify like users of the content they make.

And that is still going.

So I think that was kind of like one of the key issues here is just that like you can't actually do...

do anything with your sore eclipse?

Yeah, I mean, this doesn't mean it's going to lead to the end of AI-generated video on social media.

Lord, no.

Unfortunately, no.

This is a movement that OpenAI is making towards business-to-business sales

and away from this direct-to-consumer application.

It's still an interesting move.

The fact that Disney's breaking off the deal, also interesting.

Its exact ramifications for open AI and AI-generated video in the long run, still unclear.
