However, the most popular AI-generated clip on the Sora app right now is reportedly a fabricated surveillance video showing Sam Altman stealing graphics cards, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GabrielPeterss4\/status\/1973120058907041902\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GabrielPeterss4\/status\/1973120058907041902\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"nofollow\">according to OpenAI researcher Gabriel Petersson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"aa2b833f-6f63-4c35-9c05-7109eab38b89-2\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/openais-new-video-generation-tool-sora-2-is-here-but-dont-worry-sam-altman-says-it-will-avoid-the-degenerate-case-of-ai-video-generation-that-ends-up-with-us-all-being-sucked-into-an-rl-optimized-slop-feed\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/openais-new-video-generation-tool-sora-2-is-here-but-dont-worry-sam-altman-says-it-will-avoid-the-degenerate-case-of-ai-video-generation-that-ends-up-with-us-all-being-sucked-into-an-rl-optimized-slop-feed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The latest Sora model launched today alongside a dedicated app<\/a>, with its key social pitch being features that allow you to remix your friends&#8217; creations and upload your own likeness into AI-generated videos. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/sora-2\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/sora-2\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Altman claims<\/a> there are in-app mitigations against the misuse of someone&#8217;s likeness. However, I think the clip where his digital double can be heard saying, &#8220;Please, I really need this for Sora inference\u2014this video is too good,&#8221; as he clutches a graphics card speaks for itself.<\/p>\n<p>Related articles<\/p>\n<p>Besides the fresh addition of AI-generated audio, Sora 2 demonstrates clear improvements over <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/openai-sora-text-to-video-announcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/openai-sora-text-to-video-announcement\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the first model released last year<\/a>. That said, one can take some comfort in the fact it still struggles to accurately render text. Besides the wibbly characters on the security guard&#8217;s shirt, Sam Altman&#8217;s digital double is seen swiping inventory from a display labelled &#8216;gratics cards&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of Altman stealing graphics cards is pretty funny, if only because it mimics what&#8217;s happening on an industrial scale to support OpenAI&#8217;s real-world datacentres.
