Summary
Sora 2, the new AI video generation tool / social media platform, has shot to the top of the charts on the App Store, despite the app being invitation-only. Realistic 10-second videos are dominating social media, but is it too soon to say that Sora will eventually rival TikTok?
We also discuss the content of Africa launching the Continental Internet Exchange, a project to establish a continent-wide network infrastructure designed to increase internet speed, reduce costs, and strengthen data sovereignty across Africa.
