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.

    ScarJo being what takes down Saltman’s wannabe Skynet isn’t what I have on my bingo card, but would be is insanely funny.

    I haven’t seen Her. Is it an “AI-positive” film, or is it another case of nerds totally misreading the real intents of the director/author, a la the famous Torment Nexus meme?

      IIRC it’s (spoilers sorry) “AI escaped the torment nexus and they decided not to kill everyone so that’s great”
