If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, "intuitive" physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all

OpenAI posted Sora demos on X, where creators compared them with older AI footage and users proposed prompts. YouTube and forum discussions followed, and Tyler Perry said he paused his studio expansion. OpenAI later courted filmmakers and commissioned festival shorts.
