> OpenAI recently redirected sora.com, which used to be its own domain, to sora.chatgpt.com.

Probably to share cookies.

Cookies are such a mess.

We need cross-domain cookies. Google took them away so they could further entrench their analytics and ads platform. Abuse of monopoly power.

  • We use OAuth2 for identity.

    We use first-party cookies for session management.

    We use APIs and signed tokens (JWT) to federate across domains without leaking user data.

    The ones hurt by the death of third-party cookies are ad tech parasites who refused to innovate imho...

    • OpenAI uses all of these things and still had to move domains.

      Also: tech should be easier, not harder.

      Building this shouldn't take more than an hour, yet somehow we did this to ourselves.
