The data set and the algorithm are still there, it’s just not available to the public anymore. I wonder who will still get access to it. This just seems to follow the general trend of oligarchs encouraging startups to do anything and everything to disrupt an industry, go as far as they can, and then pull them out through any pressure, government or corporate, as they try to scavenge what they want.

Besides that, there’s still alternatives alive, local or otherwise, and I doubt the people who were using Sora are suddenly going to stop without trying to search for alternatives first. People are celebrating after just chopping off the first head of the hydra.
