OpenAI Launches Sora Social App with Controversial Deepfake 'Cameo' Feature

OpenAI has released Sora, a TikTok-like social media app with advanced video generation capabilities that allow users to create realistic deepfakes through a "cameo" feature using biometric data. The app is already filled with deepfakes of CEO Sam Altman and copyrighted characters, raising significant concerns about disinformation, copyright violations, and the democratization of deepfake technology. Despite OpenAI's emphasis on safety features, users are already finding ways to circumvent guardrails, and the realistic quality of generated videos poses serious risks for manipulation and abuse.
