(King, Inc.) and OpenAI have worked together to address how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s likeness is represented in Sora generations. Some users generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King's image. So at King, Inc.'s request, OpenAI has paused generations depicting Dr. King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures.</a>

ESPN+ costs $11.99/month or you need cable ~$45/month. Estimates have Apple TV somewhere around the 45 million subscriber mark, which Apple execs claim is “significantly higher.” Apple TV costs $12.99/month, and will INCLUDE F1TV Premium, which is currently $16.99/month</a>
