Ep 742: OpenAI's Most Chaotic Week Yet? Sora's Dead, New Models are Coming and What it Means for You

Has OpenAI ever had a more chaotic week than the past 7ish days? 🤪

They're prepping for an IPO. 
They're building a super app. 
They might get sued by their biggest investor. 
They're planting a new HQ in Google's backyard. 
And they killed one of their most viral products in Sora. 

Crazier part? 

That's not even the half of it. 

And while it's sometimes a waste of time to keep up with the see-sawing of big AI companies, this is different. 

However OpenAI ultimately comes out of this week may just set the precedent for the next few years of AI.
