Sora is Here... But Everyone Wants In
OpenAI’s Sora is blowing minds by turning simple text into insanely realistic videos. It’s the kind of tech that could flip industries like filmmaking, education, and marketing on their heads.
But there’s a problem...
Everyone wants in.
Even Sam Altman admitted on Twitter:
What’s the Holdup?
It’s not just about scaling servers.
Between regulatory red tape in places like Europe and now this massive demand, OpenAI is juggling more than they probably expected.
This isn’t surprising, though.
When something this groundbreaking drops, the whole world rushes to the door.
Déjà Vu?
This isn't the first time we've seen a tech rollout struggle with overwhelming demand.
Think back to the launch of GPT-3.
When it first hit the scene, the demand was off the charts, and access was super limited.
OpenAI had to slow-roll access to make sure they could handle the volume without crashing servers or facing too many issues.
Then there’s Stable Diffusion.
When it launched, the interest was wild, and getting access wasn’t as quick as people had hoped.
They eventually had to create queues and waitlists, just like Sora is doing now.
It’s a classic issue with any tech that breaks boundaries—everyone wants it right away, but scaling up to meet that demand isn’t as simple as flipping a switch.
So, What’s Next?
OpenAI’s working on it, but it’s going to take time. For now, Sora is like the exclusive club everyone wants to get into, but there’s a line out the door and no shortcuts.
When it’s finally ready for everyone, it’s going to be worth the wait.
Until then, we’ll be watching for updates—and hoping for a golden ticket.
