OpenAI’s Sora: Pay $4 To Watch AI Deepfake Pikachu Whine

OpenAI’s Sora, led by Bill Peebles, admits its video AI is 'completely unsustainable,' which sounds like my last attempt at grocery budgeting. Users get a generous 100 free videos on the pricey 'Pro' model and a mere 30 otherwise—because who wants video freedom, right? If you actually want to unleash your inner Spielberg, prepare to shell out $4 for just 10 more generations, credits last 12 months, and yes, you can also ruin your code on Codex. They’re slapping 'clip stitching' and legally dubious deepfake cameos onto the platform, enabling you to pay for your favorite fictional characters’ digital misery. Peebles promises free limits will shrink, making OpenAI the 'Santa' who took his toys away and sold them back piece by pixel.
