Sam Altman Is Full Of Shit

Note: In my last newsletter, I said that my next post would be the second part of my Facebook autopsy. Don’t worry, that’s still coming, but given the recent drama between Sam Altman, OpenAI, and Scarlett Johansson, I felt the need to write something. Don’t worry, I

Wake up honey, new Zitron just dropped.

Looks like Sammy boy has a crush on Scarlett Johansson and wanted to model his sexy chatbot after her role in the movie Her. The damage control is actually hilarious.

Altman subsequently claimed that the actress for Sky was cast before the company reached out to Johansson.

“Yeah, I don’t want to go out with you anyway. Also, I already have a girlfriend but she goes to a different school, so you wouldn’t know her. And no, I won’t tell you who it is!”

I mean, we all knew that OpenAI is a fucking clown show of a company run by wannabe nerd frat boys with way too much money, but I didn’t think we’d get high school level relationship drama this season.

      Don’t worry, I’ll go back to touching grass once I’m done clowning on AI-brained tech bozos for the day.

          It’s almost like there was a….irunno what you’d call it? A portrayal? Of some kind, by her. Who’d want to be not themselves though?! Sounds so ridiculous, I know

        it’s always funny when posters we’ve never seen here before blow through to try and enforce norms from the orange site and other shitty tech communities, as if a post that could be summed up as “stop having tech takes in TechTakes” would ever be of any value to anyone
