Whether we are ready for the release of Sora or not, we seem to be only months away from getting our hands on it. Much like the previous jaw-dropping launches from OpenAI, this is a moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence that will leave an irreversible mark on the world.
Our most recent intern, Thea, joined the Patio team earlier this summer to learn the ins and outs of marketing before she returned to her studies in Montreal in September.
