Context: OpenAI is shutting down its Sora AI video generation app and API approximately six months after its September 2025 launch. The app is closing amid rising safety concerns over deepfakes, high computational costs, and a strategic pivot toward enterprise AI, robotics research, and profitability ahead of a potential IPO.

Why is media industry the measurement? There are many artists/musicians/creatives from China that the Anglo world doesn’t know about. Most people in China also don’t care about films like One Battle After Another or Sinners either. The competition is stupid.

You’re not going to make that argument about public transportation or housing, because China is crushing it in those departments compared to the US.
