OpenAI's Sora 2 eliminates filming costs

Hey AI Enthusiast,

OpenAI just dropped Sora 2 with a built-in social app - merging realistic video generation with TikTok-style sharing where physics actually work correctly instead of objects randomly teleporting or morphing.

The "cameos" feature lets you record yourself once, then drop into any AI-generated scene without filming anything, meaning your likeness appears in content you never actually shot.

Let me break down today's power prompt and community weekly wins first (then show you why AI-generated social feeds might completely reshape how content gets made and distributed...)

Eight concrete results from this week's community activity.

Members found tools and started building with them immediately instead of waiting for comprehensive tutorials.

Actual launches:

Karen Sutherland: "Used ChatGPT to develop survey questions and then write code that I could paste into Google Apps that generated the entire survey in Google Forms. It took about three mins" - converted research process into three-minute automation.
Betsy McClellan Hall: "Using AI, she created a healing image of this son giving her a hug. Their love made visual" - generated personalized memorial imagery for friend processing loss.
Jonathan Mast: "Numerous Google Gems (now that they are shareable) with a brand new set of custom core security instructions" - created secure shareable assistants with protective protocols.
Dave Miller: "Just used manus to clean up my entire google drive create folders, move files" - organized years of digital clutter through automated file management.
Pauline Longdon: "I've created an elite squad of bots for my clients to use" - built client-facing AI systems with controlled access through PickAxe.
Robin Wilson: "building a workflow to send my clients their preview reports, pulling from trello, dropbox to a sheet and then an email" - automated multi-platform reporting pipeline.
Luke Shankula: "Used your Manus training to build the 'Micro offer' for my Low ticket SLO funnel. Now I'm gonna make like 5 of these" - produced multiple funnel variations for traffic testing.
Leigh Valentine: "I created an AI Image Master Prompt Generator with a saved history in Manus" - developed specialized prompt tool with historical reference capability.

Notice the execution speed here.

Karen went from manual form building to automated survey generation in a single afternoon session.

Betsy recognized that image AI could serve emotional needs beyond typical business applications during difficult circumstances.

Jonathan tested new Google features while simultaneously implementing security measures for business deployment readiness.

Dave attacked organizational debt with automation instead of scheduling weekend cleanup marathons that never happen.

Pauline transitioned from personal AI experimentation to client service delivery through platform selection and implementation.

Robin eliminated repetitive client communication tasks by connecting existing tools into automated workflow sequences.

Luke chose rapid variation testing over single perfect campaign development for faster market feedback loops.

Leigh built reusable infrastructure with memory functions understanding that context preservation multiplies future utility significantly.

Testing beats planning when market feedback arrives faster than theoretical perfection allows.

Dairy farms are using AI to monitor individual cows' health by analyzing their walking patterns, detecting lameness days before visible symptoms appear and preventing costly veterinary issues.

🗞️ Breaking AI News 🗞️

OpenAI just eliminated traditional video production with their Sora 2 launch and integrated social platform.

The system fixes physics problems that plagued earlier AI video - basketballs now bounce realistically instead of magically appearing in hoops when shots miss.

Content creation fundamentally changed.

Here's what happened:

Upload your face once, then appear in unlimited generated scenarios without filming anything - beach volleyball, skateboarding, gymnastics all created computationally
Share likeness permissions with friends so groups can create content together without coordinating actual meetups or filming sessions
TikTok-style feed built directly into the app means distribution happens within the same platform that generates your content
ChatGPT conversation history influences recommendations showing how OpenAI connects user data across their product ecosystem
Free at launch with usage charges only during peak demand times, making experimental content creation accessible immediately

Traditional creators spend thousands on cameras, locations, and editing.

This flips that model by generating scenes that would cost prohibitive amounts to film in reality.

The trust issues are significant though - giving someone access to your AI likeness means they could generate harmful content even if you initially trusted them.

OpenAI's launching a social platform while still figuring out safety measures that failed in ChatGPT, which raises serious questions about consent and content authenticity.

Early adoption advantages exist for creators willing to test AI-generated content before algorithms get saturated with it.

But the ethical implications around likeness abuse and non-consensual video generation remain largely unaddressed despite known harms.
