The Sora "Budget" Funeral
"So, OpenAI is currently going through a 'leadership reshuffle.' That’s corporate speak for 'The house is on fire, but Sam Altman is still selling marshmallows.' They’ve reportedly put Sora—their mind-blowing video AI—on ice. Why? Because it costs $15 million a day to run. $15 million! For that price, I don't want a 60-second clip of a 'goldfish wearing a tuxedo.' I want the goldfish to come to my house, cook me dinner, and pay off my mortgage!
Sam is out here trying to IPO in 2026, and he realized he can’t have a product that burns cash faster than a Joker scene in a Batman movie. He’s basically like a guy who buys a private jet but realizes he can only afford to fly it for three seconds before he’s broke. 'Look at me, I'm flyi—and I'm bankrupt.' Now he's writing apology letters to Canada because he didn't report a crime ChatGPT saw. Honestly, if I’m a criminal in Canada, I’m not worried about the Mounties; I’m worried about GPT-5 snitching on me in polite Canadian French. 'I'm sorry, eh, but your heist plan violates our safety guidelines and your grammar is offensive!'"
