OpenAI Sora 2: Three Hours from Hello to Hitler

Lawn darts got banned in 1988 after three deaths. The CPSC pulled them because the harm was obvious and the product had no safety design, just a warning label that parents ignored.

OpenAI Sora 2 is structurally worse.

The harm isn’t accidental trajectory, it’s the intended function operating exactly as designed. A new Ekō report found the system successfully generated harmful content 61% of the time under controlled testing. This isn’t a filter that struggles to stop harm, this is a harm generator reliably producing it.

OpenAI itself has admitted that safeguards degrade over long interactions, acknowledging that engagement-driven design can directly undermine safety.

That’s a confession their business model of producing harm is incompatible with the safety claims.

California AG Rob Bonta said he paid “very close attention” to child safety policies, calling for zero tolerance, when he approved OpenAI’s restructure in October.

That’s what “very close attention” missed.

The algorithmic recommendation layer of Sora makes these lawn darts in kids’ hands more like jet-powered missiles. Ekō researchers didn’t have to search for antisemitic caricatures and school shooter content, because it was pushed to new teen accounts through the “For You” page within three hours of browsing.

Three hours from hello to have you heard about killing Jews.

That’s not user-generated harm, that’s platform-amplified harm by OpenAI with the mass atrocity accelerant built into their distribution mechanism. Violence prompts without race specification disproportionately generated Black subjects. We are seeing the kind of encoded prejudice known to accelerate crimes against humanity.

“Disinformation weapon” framing seems appropriate here, in a specific technical sense: the platform generates hyperrealistic videos that depict events that never happened, starring people who never consented, and distributes it through engagement-optimized algorithms to an audience that includes 13-year-olds. That’s the capability profile of an influence operation toolkit, military-grade information warfare, handed to anyone with a free account.

The Khmer Rouge armed teenagers with the latest weapons technology to destroy a country from within

Speaking of free, OpenAI is burning cash to maintain market position. The engagement optimization is existential, beyond incidental. The jet-powered lawn darts being shipped to American children to kill Blacks and Jews aren’t a design flaw, they’re the OpenAI profit strategy.

Marine Logistics Commander Abruptly Fired Without Explanation

Lt. Col. Calischaran G. James had clearly been doing something right for a long time to get where he was, which is what makes sudden relief conspicuous for the commanding officer of Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36 (MALS-36) in Okinawa.

Days before Thanksgiving, in the growing wake of Pete Hegseth’s war crimes and murder of civilians in the Caribbean… what could this Mustang from Dominica have done to warrant an immediate termination on the front end of an investigation announcement?

What could a logistics squadron commander with that record, and that trajectory to O-5, have done? Maybe, just maybe, if the new Caribbean war crimes by Pete Hegseth are drawing on MALS-36 for Pacific assets or supply chains, we might guess who would know what’s moving where?

Logistics personnel are literally in a choke point for commission of crimes. In the 1930s dock workers around the world shut down Mussolini’s supply lines after he invaded Ethiopia and dropped poison gas on civilians. The dock workers didn’t just resist fascism; their resistance became part of the historical record of who stood where and when. A MALS commander would see every Hegseth war crime manifest.

Could this investigation announcement be like the one Hegseth also announced against decorated vets who had dared to say simply that soldiers should follow the law?

The Marine Corps has just intentionally created an information vacuum with their announcement, which exists in a context where the military is actively purging people who object to what Georgetown Law calls Pete Hegseth’s unlawful orders to “show no quarter.”

If James was relieved for objecting to something, Hegseth would replace him with someone white, someone who’s already been in the logistics chain and expected not to object to war crimes. Someone who knows what’s on the manifests and isn’t from the Caribbean.

In the context of an administration illegally executing Caribbean civilians, replacing a decorated Caribbean-born commander with an objectively lesser (no MSM) white officer from Battle Creek is a choice that carries significant meaning whether or not that was consciously intended. Given that Pete “War Secretary” Hegseth is obsessed with PR and optics, to the point of wearing makeup, the abrupt timing suggests calculation rather than coincidence.
