OpenAI shuts down Sora while Meta gets shut out in court
When an 82-year-old Kentucky woman was offered $26 million by an AI company that wanted to build a data center on her land, she said no. Sure, that same company can try to repurpose 2,000 nearby acres anyway, but as the AI infrastructure extends further into the real world, the real world starts to push back.
That tension is everywhere this week, from OpenAI’s shutdown of the Sora app to the courts finally holding social platforms like Meta accountable. In this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane explore what it looks like when the AI hype cycle meets reality.
