Releasing powerful, novel models like Sora shortly before a major election is just asking for trouble.

I believe they are restraining themselves in order to stay somewhat in control of the narrative. Donald Trump spewing ever more believable video deep fakes on twitter would backfire in terms of regulation.

Besides, isn't it over the top expensive for a few seconds of video ? Election is a factor but even without it I don't know if there's much of a business plan there, what would they have to charge, $20 / minute? Then how many minutes of experimenting before you get a decent result?

I wonder if it'll be cheaper per frame than the image generators.
