Was Sora just a honeypot to get a media company (ie Disney) to invest a lot of money into OpenAI?

Maybe it achieved its objective?

As far as I can tell Disney didn't actually hand over the money yet. They were still in preparation and it's cancelled now obviously.

So whatever reason they say to shut this down, it was more important than 1B investment.
