Hosting videos is really expensive. AI video generation inference is really expensive. I'd love to see how much money this experiment cost.

So much that they walked away from a billion dollar deal with Disney by dropping Sora.

		It's not clear to me what that billion dollar meant. To me it seems it was "Disney gets shares and we get to use their characters in Sora". Even if Sora breaks even, why would you gift Disney stock? It's not like they actual gave 1B to openai.

Hosting videos is not that expensive, compared to generation and inference costs. It's not cheap but it's not that horrible
