Image created with gemini-2.5-flash-image with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: Create a 16:9 cinematic split-screen poster. LEFT SIDE (40% width): – A table with a video camera, printed storyboard frames laid out in sequence, and a notebook with simple editing notes that hint at AI assisting cuts and transitions. – The background is a turquoise / teal abstract field made of stylized blue rods or data fibers, representing AI support for video production. – Use warm, cinematic but not dramatic lighting. No glowing screens or neon. RIGHT SIDE (60% width): – A green-toned abstract aerial forest canopy texture, grounding moving images in reality. – Two clean rounded rectangles stacked vertically near the center-right. – The TOP rectangle contains the text: “Video”. – The BOTTOM rectangle contains the text: “2025/10/10”. – Clean sans-serif font in dark green or charcoal. OVERALL STYLE: – Creative and structured, not chaotic. – No brand names. – Maintain the turquoise/forest split-screen.
The nerfing of Sora was inevitable. IP holders just needed time to respond. But now the job is done; Sora is #1 on the iOS app store, flying past Gemini. On the plus side, AI cameos with your social graph is still a lot of fun. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1974459828308467866
3 quick thoughts on the Sora app 1. OpenAI was smart to feature their team in the Sora launch video memes. High-fidelity output + showing that you buy what you sell + having a sense of humor deflects some slop-dealer hate. 2. “Cameo” feature does what the Ghibli template did:”” / X https://x.com/anuatluru/status/1973125101047451830

Sora 2 is incredibly impressive as a video generator but pushed into a narrow niche: 1) Optimized for viral short form video, both in UX & output 2) Built to be one-and-done, when most video gen is selecting among variants 3) Makes fun stuff the first time, at the cost of control https://x.com/emollick/status/1973939293803733074

Video generation with Sora – OpenAI API https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/video-generation
I think people are still unprepared for a world where you cannot trust any video content, despite years of warning. Even when Google & OpenAI include watermarks, those can be easily removed, and open weights AI video models without guardrails are coming.. https://x.com/emollick/status/1976004133296685165
This seems like a pretty big finding: If you train an AI model on enough video, it seems to gain the ability to reason about images in ways it was never trained to do, including solving mazes & puzzles. The bigger the model, the better it does at these out-of-distribution tasks. https://x.com/emollick/status/1974096724445503827

Meta, Google, and TikTok all had the pieces. OpenAI just beat them to the punch.
