OpenAI's Sora video generator appears to have leaked

A group calling itself "Sora PR Puppets" appears to have leaked access to OpenAI's Sora video generator, which is not yet publicly available, by publishing a front end on Hugging Face. The group says OpenAI pressures early testers, including red teamers and creative partners, to promote Sora and does not fairly compensate them for their unpaid work. It also claims every Sora output must be approved by OpenAI before wide sharing. In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson said Sora remains in a "research preview" and that participation in the alpha is voluntary and includes free access and grants.
