Nothing is real 👀

"You’re entering an AI-generated world. Faces may be familiar, but nothing is real."

Sora 2 UI preview 👀

It is almost similar to the normal Sora UI, but rather made in the form of a social app. I don't have official access yet and don't have invites to share.

Are you ready to start Sora 2 invites chain? 👀

I will share 1 Sora invite code with a 1st person in a chain via DMs. The person will have to repeat the process with the next person on the list. Since there are several chains ongoing, follow the conversation on the chat to get in https://news.1rj.ru/str/+UG9lOEE7R6vV9JRY

Please make sure you have VPN ready if you are not from US or Canada and try to share more than 1 invite back to the group if you can 🙏
