Yeah, their forth place video model does not go away, but they didn't ink a billion dollar with Disney that's just gone up in flames because they "weren't serious"

This may well be a needed reprioritization in the face of resource constraints, but it ain't a masterful Xanatos gambit.

Agree, and didn't intend to imply that. This is just a good startup move that gets a big headline because it's OpenAI. Other startups around the world do the same thing all the time.

I'm bullish on video generation technology, but honestly not on OpenAI or any Western company's deployment of it. I think they'll all mostly suffer from the same problems that Sora did.

Yes, sadly, the West is not the leader. The work done by the Chinese labs is just so damn good.

Is OpenAI still considered a startup? They were founded ~10 years ago in December 2015.
