While the Sora videos are impressive, are these really world simulators? While some notion of real-world physics probably exists somewhere within the model, doesn’t all the completely artificial training data corrupt it?

Reasoning, logic, formal systems, and physics exist in a seemingly completely different, mathematical space than pure video.

This is just a contrived, interesting viewpoint of the technology, right?

That's not true, AI systems in general have pretty strong mathematical proofs going back decades on what they can theoretically do, the problem is compute and general feasibility. AIXItl in theory would be able to learn reasoning, logic, formal systems, physics, human emotions, and a great deal of everything else just from watching videos. They would have to be videos of varied and useful things, but even if they were not, you'd at least get basic reasoning, logic, and physics.
