Sora’s Infinite Scroll: Why AI-Generated Video Breaks the Model (and the Law)
OpenAI’s Sora—an invite‑only app that stitches endless 10‑second AI videos into a TikTok‑style feed—surged to the top of Apple’s U.S. App Store in October 2025.
Sora’s Siren Song: What an AI-First Video Feed Reveals About Energy, Law, and the Limits of Synthetic Attention
OpenAI’s Sora—an invite-only app that serves an endless feed of exclusively AI-generated, up-to-10-second videos—has rocketed to the top of the App Store. It looks like a neat trick, but under the hood it’s a stress test for compute infrastructure, copyright law, and the social systems that will have to police machine-made reality.
Sora’s Infinite Scroll: Inside OpenAI’s Video App and the Compute, Climate, and Copyright Storm It’s Stirring
OpenAI’s Sora serves an endless feed of AI‑made 10‑second videos — hyperreal cameos, trademarked characters, and surreal micro‑memes streamed at scale. The app is a technical stunt, a legal lightning rod, and a potential emissions problem all at once — and it’s forcing a reckoning about what unrestricted generative video might cost.
Sora’s Infinite Scroll: The technical, legal, and climate bill of AI-generated video
OpenAI’s Sora—a TikTok‑like app that serves an endless feed of exclusively AI‑generated videos—shot to the top of Apple’s App Store within days of its October release.

Sora’s Siren Song: Why OpenAI’s Infinite AI-Video Scroll Is a Test of Tech, Money, and Law
When OpenAI launched Sora in October 2025, it promised an endless feed of AI‑generated 10‑second videos you know are fake — and, perversely, might prefer that way. The app rocketed to the top of Apple’s charts within days and left technologists asking a blunt question: can anyone afford to run a platform that streams synthetic video by the billion?
Sora’s Infinite Scroll: Why OpenAI’s AI-Video Feed Is a Tech, Legal, and Carbon Test
OpenAI’s Sora — an invite-only app that serves an endless stream of exclusively AI-generated videos — shot to the top of Apple’s US App Store days after its October 2025 debut. The product stitches short, hyperreal clips (each up to 10 seconds) that include deepfakable cameos and copyrighted characters, and it is already straining three fragile seams: compute costs, copyright law, and human trust.
