What OpenAIs Scarlett Johansson drama tells us about the future of AI


OpenAI boss Sam Altman didn't need to start a feud with Scarlett Johansson. Now it's affecting the whole AI industry.

Which was strange, Johansson said in an equally rare statement Monday, since Altman contacted her multiple times asking her for permission to use her voice, including once just a few days before the Sky demo. Spoiler alert: At the end of the movie, Samantha goes full AGI (exactly the outcome that OpenAI started raising in self-serving warnings a year ago). Whatever his reasoning, the fact that Altman face-planted straight into an easily avoidable ScarJo scandal speaks to wider problems at OpenAI, a company that has already had more than its fair share of drama.
