Disney's $1B Bet on Sora: Mickey Mouse Meets AI Magic (or Madness?)
Hold onto your mouse ears, folks—Disney just dropped a $1 billion bombshell on OpenAI, handing over 200+ characters from its vault to Sora's video-generating wizardry. It's like giving a hyperactive toddler the keys to the kingdom: fans can now prompt Mickey into moonwalking with Mandalorians or Elsa chilling with Spider-Man, all without Bob Iger losing sleep over rogue R-rated remixes. But while Disney high-fives OpenAI for 'responsible AI,' it's simultaneously drop-kicking Google with a cease-and-desist for allegedly pirating its IP. Selective AI cuddles? Smells like a power play in the content wars.[1][2]
