Quote from the article:
With the mass adoption of ChatGPT, MidJourney, and soon Soma, OpenAI’s video-generating application
Mis-typed Sora, or is that a cheeky reference to A Brave New World?

The article is from March 24, so it wasn't well known by then.
I wasn't dogging on the author, actually praising them. In case you haven't read the book, this is what Soma is.
If it was a typo: Freudian slip, serendipitous If it was intentional: More kudos to the writer, clever
Either way I find it funny and perfectly fitting.
My main issue is the Ailiens. The whole agi thing is still decades away if that. Otherwise it's a good take
I don't think AIliens are the same as AGI. I believe in this frame AIliens exist in the mind of people, rather than in the machine. It's behavior complex enough to be interpreted as such, rather than a sentient being thinking of itself as sentient, as AGI implies. It's alive in the same way an organization is alive and thinking, or a mycelium network. AGI is human-like intelligence reproduced in silicon. AIliens are... alien.
