The internet has been buzzing about OpenAI’s Sora 2, and frankly, I’ve been staring at these videos for longer than I care to admit. There’s something deeply unsettling about watching a horse standing on another horse with such photorealistic detail that your brain starts doing mental gymnastics to reconcile what you’re seeing.

The technical achievement is undeniable. The muscle definition on the horses, the way light plays across surfaces, the subtle physics of movement – it’s the kind of thing that makes you do a double-take. But what’s really getting to me isn’t just the visual fidelity; it’s how this represents a fundamental shift in what we can trust with our eyes.
