Sora 2 Lockdown and Sam Altman's Response

OpenAI’s Sora 2 went into a state of lock-down this week as Sam Altman pulls back what can and can’t be generated on the platform. Hollywood & Influencers are still furious. Are you?

We dive into the debate around what it means when everyone can generate everything at the touch of a button & talk about how Mark Cuban & Jake Paul are using the Cameo feature to their advantage. Oh, and Bob Ross is *really* putting in extra work.

Plus, OpenAI’s new API lets developers create apps for ChatGPT, Grok’s Imagine gets an update, Google creates a tool to help fix vibecode exploits and Figure 03 shows us what the future of humanoid robots might look like going forward.

LIVE & IN SAN FRANCISCO BABY! IT’S TWO OLD MEN IN PERSON CHATTING AI.
