Sam Altman Gifts AI Censorship Wrath to Hollywood’s Delight
In a showdown of Silicon Valley brains vs. Hollywood drama, OpenAI’s Sam Altman popped up at DevDay in San Francisco this Monday to launch the Sora app, a supposed gift to creators that’s actually a thinly-veiled challenge to ‘too censorious’ AI gatekeeping. Altman cheerily claimed that creators and rights holders—yes, the same ones suing AI into therapy—were excited about pumping out even wilder AI videos. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s entrenched studios like Netflix, Paramount, and Warner must be wondering if ‘opening the floodgates’ means drowning their precious IP in robot-made bad fanfiction. Because nothing says future blockbuster like a machine making mashups better ignored than ‘The Room.’
