- ▶ 22:04 Ranjan Roy I, I have not, but, but again, this idea that it's just gonna be, like, sucking up compute all night long just to give you some, uh, some updates in the morning, and then potentially ads as we talked about, and I've kind of, like, come to… 3 times in the scene

- ▶ 11:02 Max Zeff I think it's a little less clear to me how Sora gives, gives people the benefits of AI world models in the same way. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 19:42 Max Zeff Um, I think that it is, I, my take about the SOAR app is I don't think that OpenAI is setting itself up for success with this because they are opening themselves up to, you know, the, the kind of incentives of a social media app.
