LocalLLaMA urges OpenAI to open source Sora

This is classic open-source wishcasting: it would be a killer PR move, but OpenAI is clearly treating Sora as a managed product, not something to throw over the wall.

• –OpenAI's help center now says Sora 1 is no longer available in the U.S. and Sora opens into Sora 2 by default, which is a consolidation move, not an open release.
• –The Sora 2 system card leans hard on watermarking, provenance, likeness controls, and tighter moderation; those protections get much harder to enforce once weights are public.
• –The skeptics in the thread are right about the strategic risk: open weights create a distillation target for competitors and add more IP/copyright baggage.
• –If OpenAI wanted the goodwill without giving up the moat, a smaller research release or more transparent tooling would be the smarter play.
