OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora leaked by early testers
The HinduOpenAI’s text-to-video generation AI model Sora, which was limited to select testers, was leaked to the public for a few hours by the testers who are protesting against the way the company treats their labour. In a letter titled ‘Dear Corporate AI Overlords’, the testers said they received access to Sora “with the promise to be early testers, red teamers and creative partners” but felt they were being used to advertise the AI model to other artists. While hundreds contribute for free, a select few will be chosen through a competition to have their Sora-created films screened — offering minimal compensation which pales in comparison to the substantial PR and marketing value OpenAI receives,” said the letter, adding that the artists decided to leak Sora to everyone in response. OpenAI issued a statement and confirmed that Sora’s access was still limited to select users and artists, but did not address the incident directly, per TechCrunch.
