Sora, which is fun and simple to use, shows that OpenAI remains good at creating viral products, unlike Meta, whose Vibes video feed feels half-baked and obtuse
as the largest jump in video capability basically ever — Sora 2 somehow matches up here. For people that played around a lot with Sora 1, it didn't feel clear that Sora really ‘understood’ Miles Brundage / @miles_brundage : There are many legit reasons to be concerned about video generation tech IMO. But conflating video generation as a whole with slop is a mistake, just as it was with text generation. “Not all generated videos” but unironically, and the distinction is important. Rat King / @mikeisaac : this new OpenAI video app is going to be a thing very fast. people need to brace for how scary-quickly the verisimilitude of using your likeness in videos is improving if my middle-aged peer group can't tell i posted an AI selfie video, Facebook boomers are defenseless Tae Kim / @firstadopter : Meta shares should be down a lot more than 2% on Sora disruption risk [image] Pietro Schirano / @skirano : Man, imagine being Mark Zuckerberg, spending billions to build a slop machine, only for another slop machine to out-slop you just days later. LinkedIn: Amanda Silberling : OpenAI has its own TikTok competitor/social media app where you can deepfake yourself, and others if their settings allow — it's a mess. … Bluesky: Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : Started using the Sora app and it's like TikTok for AI generated videos. — I used to think it would take a year or two for AI videos to become as popular as influencer content on social media but I can see this app causing that to happen by the end of the year. Amanda Silberling / @amanda.omg.lol : I've spent too much time on OpenAI's invite-only Sora social media app since it came out yesterday and IT'S REALLY WEIRD. @techcrunch.com — techcrunch.com/2025/10/01/o... Mastodon: Chris Enns / @ichris@mastodon.social : I want to believe AI slop is just harmless goofs, and while it's early days on OpenAI's Sora social app, I agree with JA Westenberg: If You Let Your Kid Use Sora, You're A Bad Parent. — “These apps are not neutral. They are not tools that can be molded by “responsible” use.” https://www.theindex.media/...
