OpenAI's Sora video generator leaked by group in protest
A group calling itself 'Sora PR Puppets' leaked access to OpenAI's Sora video generator by publishing a front end on Hugging Face using authentication tokens from an early access program. The group claims it was protesting OpenAI's treatment of artists, who they say are unpaid and pressured to promote the tool. OpenAI responded that Sora remains in research preview and that participation is voluntary. The leak was shut down after a few hours.
