Isn't all this "OpenAI drops..." stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman's recent statement that they're going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.
But if it's lose, I guarantee they'll Ministry of Truth that statement.
It's cost cutting. They're burning cash faster than they can raise it.
One product
