"On an initial glance, a video that's going viral on social media looks like a typical 1990s TV commercial for a children's toy set of a tropical island: there are palm trees, a waterfall, and - wait a minute - there's also a secret massage room, and even an "Orange Man" action figure who looks exactly like Donald Trump and says "don't release the files" in an ominous voice."
""Kick back with two chill old dudes!" enthuses a manic-sounding narrator. "The only island with real working spy cams hidden in secret rooms!" It's a dark parody poking fun at deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, in other words, who'd been accused of sex trafficking underage girls to his Caribbean island. And it was all cooked up in OpenAI's AI video generator Sora 2, which was released this week with a TikTok-style app for sharing AI-generated clips."
OpenAI released Sora 2, an AI video generator with a TikTok-style sharing app that has produced an avalanche of surreal and satirical clips. Users quickly generated a dark parody mimicking a 1990s toy commercial that references Jeffrey Epstein, contains a Trump-like "Orange Man" action figure saying "don't release the files," and lampoons real-world sexual abuse allegations. Other viral clips include a depiction of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stealing GPUs. The clips reveal limited moderation guardrails, especially around disparaging living public figures, and have prompted online backlash and concerns about legal, reputational, and regulatory consequences for OpenAI.
