Hyper AI Picks
Sora 2 is blowing up online
October 3, 2025
AI is starting to change how we make and share video online. What used to be a phone camera moment can now be generated in seconds, and that shift could transform what social feeds look like.
We’re still at the beginning, but the direction is clear: the way we watch and create together is about to feel very different.
Let’s dive into this week’s Hyper AI Picks 👇
🔍 AI Idea of the Week: The TikTok of AI Videos
Would you spend time on a social feed where every clip is AI-generated?
OpenAI has released a new platform built on its latest video model, Sora 2, and it is unlike anything we’ve seen so far.
The videos it produces are extremely realistic, capturing both visuals and sound with incredible detail.
You can train an avatar of yourself, then use it to generate short videos, skits, or collaborations. With the Cameos feature, people can even appear in clips alongside celebrities or public figures.
So while the app may look early-stage today, it could mark the start of an entirely new kind of social network… one where memes, creativity, and entertainment are powered not by human creators alone, but by AI.
Other platforms are exploring AI video feeds too: Pika has tried it, and Meta just launched Vibes.
Do you think AI-powered social networks are something people will actually spend time on?
⚡ AI Signals: 5 Things Changing Fast
Meta launches Vibes, an AI-generated video feed
Meta is rolling out Vibes, a short-form video feed made entirely of AI-generated clips. Users can scroll, remix, and create their own videos directly in the app.
Why it matters: AI social platforms are here… and they could change how we spend time online.
ChatGPT adds a “Buy Now” button
Shopping inside ChatGPT is here. When the assistant suggests a product, you won’t have to leave the app, you’ll just tap “Buy Now” and check out directly.
Why it matters: ChatGPT is moving from an information tool to a commerce platform, which could reshape how people discover and purchase products.
Meta’s AI chats now power ads
Meta will soon start using conversations you have with its AI assistant to shape the ads and recommendations you see across Facebook, Instagram, and beyond. If you ask about hiking gear, your feed might fill with trails and boots. Sensitive topics like health and politics won’t be used.
Why it matters: AI chats are not fully private… and that’s something worth paying attention to.
Microsoft gives Copilot a face
Copilot Labs is testing Portraits, a feature that turns your AI chat into a video call with a human-style avatar. The avatars can nod, smile, and sync their lips with speech, making conversations feel more natural.
Why it matters: Copilot just got more real, blurring the line between talking to a tool and a teammate.
Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 4.5
The latest Claude model can run autonomously for up to 30 hours, writing code, running tests, and acting as its own agent.
Why it matters: Claude just got a serious upgrade, making it better at tackling long, complex projects.
🛠 AI Tool We’re Testing: Sora
Until the wider public gets access to the Sora 2 app, let’s have a look at what the original Sora can already do.
How to use it
Go here:
sora.chatgpt.comChoose whether you want to create an image or a video.
Enter your prompt (e.g., “A product ad showing sneakers on a neon-lit street, cinematic style”).
Select your aspect ratio, how many variations you want, and a preset if you’d like.
(Optional) Upload a reference image to guide the look.
And that’s it: Sora delivers an image or video ready for your social media, ad campaigns, or creative projects.
And if you’re wondering where all this is headed… just look at AI influencers like Lil Miquela and Lu do Magalu.
Their videos have reached millions of views, showing how AI visuals are already transforming branding and entertainment.
As tools like Sora roll out, you won’t be left behind: with deep-dive sessions and on-demand trainings covering everything from video generators like Runway, Pika, and VEO 3 to the wider stack of AI tools reshaping business.
