A man claimed to have a subpoena for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman after vaulting onto the stage at the beginning of Altman's highly-publicized conversation with Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Manny Yekutiel on Monday. Within moments of Kerr and Altman joining Yekutiel on stage at the Sydney Goldstein Theatre in downtown San Francisco, the man left his second-row seat and bolted onto the stage.

If I were like, a sports star or an artist or something, and just really cared about doing a great job at my thing, and was up at 5 am practicing free throws or whatever, that would seem pretty normal right?

"I'm envious of the current generation of 20-year-old dropouts,"

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is getting a taste of his own medicine - or maybe he just enjoys being the butt of the joke. With the release of the company's latest video generator Sora 2 this week, Altman's fans have rushed to churn out absurd clips that either outright mock him, or place him in a medley of bizarre scenarios that feel broadcasted from a different reality.

The OpenAI co-founder and CEO's Big Island residence is now for sale, with a new listing that touts a "blend of luxury and natural beauty" - and many amenities of the ultra-rich. The estate looks out on Kailua Bay and the Pacific Ocean, with the listing boasting 10 bedrooms across a main residence and a guest house, a helicopter landing spot, staff quarters, a screening room, a private harbor, and "advanced security systems [that] guarantee peace and discretion."

Then I saw Altman talk during my second and final year at Cambridge. That's when I realized there were maybe 10 years to get in on this whole AI startup thing, and I wanted to be on that wave. Music would be there for the next 50 years. Nearly every evening at Cambridge, I was at a talk or debate. They were one of my favourite things about student life there. Altman wasn't as famous as he is now when he gave the talk

When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth. Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes.

Altman called the current talent market the 'most intense talent market I have seen in my career,' emphasizing the fierce competition for AI professionals.

Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018 to establish a competing firm, xAI, which sowed discord between him and OpenAI.

Sam Altman expressed pride in being American, emphasizing that the American miracle is unparalleled in history, and education is vital to maintaining America's edge.

"My neighbors, my friends, my family, the people who are most deserving are going to be basically reverse Robin Hooded by these billionaires, and we can't be lining their pockets while we're cutting a trillion from Medicaid, SNAP, food assistance and other vital services," said Ashmu Murakami, Sunrise Movement.
