OpenAI discontinues Sora video generation app, Disney pulls out of $1 billion investment deal

The bell has tolled for Sora, OpenAI's video generation tool that once cranked out a very popular clip of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stealing graphics cards from Target. OpenAI announced that it is "saying goodbye" to the tool, less than six months after the launch of Sora 2 appeared to cause significant nervous sweating among Hollywood executives.

"We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app," OpenAI announced via the official Sora account on X. "To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you.
