This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 1 October 2025

Summary: Sora 2, OpenAI’s new video app that looks suspiciously like TikTok with prompts. At first I was ready to dismiss it as another AI slop generator, but it’s actually far more interesting once you start putting yourself and your mates into the videos. It suddenly feels social, almost like memes and inside jokes on steroids. That, more than the shiny visuals, might be the bit that sticks.

Elsewhere, an “AI actress” is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, though I suspect it’s more PR stunt than genuine outrage.

And Claude 4.5 quietly dropped a new update with a builder’s challenge.
