I figured these videos were likely costing a fortune to make, probably even more expensive than the numbers being thrown around. Seedance will run into the same issue ... a bunch of kids making stupid meme videos is all fun and games until you're bleeding billions of dollars to handle that much complex compute/rendering.
Open AI will probably try Sora or something like it again though in the future, they are going to IPO soon and need to get their costs down otherwise the stock will struggle so this might just be temporary.
But now it's a good win for traditional animators/traditional filmmakers.
