đ¤ OpenAI Launches Sora 2
PLUS: AI-Generated âWorkslopâ is destroying productivity

Happy Monday!
Probably one of the craziest weeks in AI yet.
OpenAI just dropped Sora 2, and itâs insane. You can now clone yourself and generate a video of you doing⌠literally anything. Itâs equal parts mind-blowing and terrifying.
Theyâve even released it as its own app, which means we might be looking at the birth of a brand-new social platform â and maybe even the first hint that OpenAI plans to run ads in the future.
Check out the example below â itâs wild. I didnât think weâd get here this fast, but here we are. Plus, I've got a fresh new prompt for you to dive into this week. Happy exploring!
PROMPT: Create a structured agenda for a meeting about [topic]. The meeting will last [time] and include [attendees]. Break the agenda into sections with time estimates and goals for each section.
Enjoy!
