Artists say they leaked OpenAI’s Sora video model in protest


“Artists are not your unpaid R&D.”

OpenAI first teased its text-to-video AI model, Sora, back in February and hasn’t provided any meaningful updates on when it will be released since then. “Sora is still in research preview, and we’re working to balance creativity with robust safety measures for broader use,” OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix said in a statement. Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati told The Wall Street Journal in March that Sora would be available by the end of the year but that, “we will not release anything we don’t feel confident on when it comes to how it might affect global elections or other issues.” And in a recent Reddit AMA, CPO Kevin Weil said Sora hadn’t been released yet because OpenAI still needed to “scale” the compute required to power it and “get safety/impersonation/other things right.”
