Jake Paul says a chance meeting with Sam Altman at Trump's inauguration led to an OpenAI investment and a crash course in ruthless 15-minute meetings | Fortune
"Paul said he consulted with OpenAI ahead of the app's September launch, and he became one of the first celebrities to allow his name, image, and likeness to be used in the app. Upon release, Sora2 users quickly jumped to feature Paul in AI-generated videos that featured him as a robber, a makeup artist, and other personas, helping propel the app to No. 1 on the App Store in the U.S."
"As soon as Altman walks into a meeting, he gets down to business with a "boom, boom, boom" approach of assigning tasks and approving ideas that he said fills every minute of his characteristically short meetings. "No wasted time, 15 minutes. He was hella productive, and then we'll go to the next meeting," Paul said. Altman has long been outspoken about productivity on his personal blog."
A chance encounter at President Donald Trump's second inauguration led to a connection between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Paul consulted with OpenAI ahead of the September launch of Sora2 and allowed his name, image, and likeness to be used in the app. Upon release, users quickly created AI-generated videos featuring Paul in various personas, driving Sora2 to the top of the U.S. App Store. Paul said the most important lesson from Altman was meeting efficiency: Altman assigns tasks and approves ideas rapidly in short meetings and has written about avoiding meetings because the time cost can be huge.
