With Sora, OpenAI highlights the mystery and clarity of its mission | The AI Beat


Sora, OpenAI's new text-to-video model, may be a black-box mystery, but the company's unwavering mission to develop AGI is not.

Perhaps you’ve seen one, two or 20 examples of the video clips OpenAI provided, from the litter of golden retriever puppies popping their heads out of the snow to the couple walking through the bustling Tokyo street. Here’s my take: With Sora, OpenAI offers what I think is a perfect example of the company’s pervasive air of mystery around its constant releases, particularly just three months after CEO Sam Altman’s firing and quick comeback. That strange duality — the mysterious alchemy of OpenAI’s current efforts, and unwavering clarity of its long-term mission — often gets overlooked and under-analyzed, I believe, as more of the general public becomes aware of its technology and more businesses sign on to use its products.
