OpenAI closes Sora while Meta closes in court

When an 82-year-old woman from Kentucky was gave $26 million from an AI company that wanted to build a data center on its land, he said no. Of course, the same company can also try to renovate 2,000 acres nearby, but as AI infrastructure continues into the real world, the real world is starting to take a back seat.

That tension is everywhere this week, to begin with OpenAI is shutting down its Sora software to the courts to finally start use the platform as a Meta case. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into what it looks like when the AI ​​hype cycle meets reality.
