    Sora will let you cameo “characters.”

    That means you can make AI videos with reusable characters of things like “your dog, guinea pig, favorite stuffed toy, and pretty much anything else you want,” according to OpenAI’s head of Sora. The app is also getting “basic” video editing capabilities, and an Android version will launch “soon.”

    Oura made two new patent licensing agreements with wearable competitors.

    One agreement is with RingConn, which had been blocked from selling its smart rings in the US after a ruling from the United States International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC had also blocked Ultrahuman from selling its rings in the US, and it’s still unable to.

    Too many games, the calendar.

    Valve is testing a new Personal Calendar feature in Steam that generates a calendar of new and upcoming games you might like. Fortunately, you can lower the number of suggestions from the default of 100, which I found made my calendar way less overwhelming.
