Sora Praised as the Funnest AI Model, but Retired Weights Stay Locked
VraserX · x · 2026-09-25
In a discussion about open-sourcing OpenAI's Sora weights, VraserX calls Sora the only AI model with genuinely good humor, able to produce funny clips with little hand-holding, and agrees safety argues against releasing the weights.
Context: shaunralston argued the strongest case against releasing retired model weights is irreversibility — once downloaded and stripped of guardrails, control over use is permanently lost; major labs likely treat retired frontier models as active liabilities rather than harmless artifacts. The thread touches the industry debate: open retired models for the community, or lock them away to avoid misuse.
