Given that OpenAI call themselves "Open", I think it's great and hilarious that we're reusing their names.
There was OpenSora from around this time last year:
https://github.com/hpcaitech/Open-Sora
And there are a lot of other products calling themselves "Sora" as well.
It's also interesting to note that OpenAI recently redirected sora.com, which used to be its own domain, to sora.chatgpt.com.
Probably to share cookies.
We need cross-domain cookies. Google took them away so they could further entrench their analytics and ads platform. Abuse of monopoly power.
We use first-party cookies for session management.
We use APIs and signed tokens (JWT) to federate across domains without leaking user data.
The ones hurt by the death of third-party cookies are ad tech parasites who refused to innovate imho...
Also: tech should be easier, not harder.
Building this shouldn't take more than an hour, yet somehow we did this to ourselves.
