OpenAI's Sora appears to have leaked

A group has reportedly leaked access to OpenAI's video generator, Sora, in protest of what they term as duplicity and "art washing" by OpenAI. The group used their authentication tokens to create a frontend on the AI dev platform Hugging Face that allows users to generate videos with Sora, which is not yet publicly available. The group alleges that OpenAI is pressuring early testers of Sora to create a positive narrative around the tool and not compensating them fairly for their work. They also claim that OpenAI is controlling and misleading about which Sora-generated videos are shared publicly.

The group hopes that by leaking Sora, OpenAI will become more open and supportive of the arts beyond PR stunts. They argue that the early access program appears to be more about PR and advertisement than creative expression and critique. OpenAI and Hugging Face have been contacted for comment.
