Sora 2 Explained: How AI is Rewriting Creativity and Media

Sora just changed everything. In this episode, I sit down with Gavin Purcell — co-creator and showrunner of Attack of the Show, former executive producer at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, co-host of AI for Humans, and co-founder of the new AI platform AndThen — to unpack how Sora 2 is breaking social media, inspiring remix culture, and redefining creativity in the AI era.

From the rise of AI micro-studios to voice-first storytelling, we explore how tools like Sora are democratizing creation, shifting culture, and raising new questions about originality, ethics, and the future of media itself.
