OpenAI and Disney Character Licensing

OpenAI has a $1b deal with Disney to license characters. They’re saying it’s for Sora, but I’m guessing there’s another angle to this.

They’ve been working with Jony Ive on a new hardware-based AI product. They haven’t announced a form factor, but have said it will not have a screen.

I think they’re going to create AI “characters” that you’ll be able to buy, and that will embody the voice and personality of the character.
