00:00Did you guys know where OpenAI is?
00:13Okay, let's get you back outside.
00:15Alright, I got thrown out.
00:18Let's get a drink.
00:19Sam Altman is the head of OpenAI.
00:22I expect there to be significant impact on jobs.
00:25And somehow, the person who knows whether my kids, my job, and humanity itself are totally screwed.
00:33Is anybody on his team responding to you at all?
00:37Hey Sam, this is Adam.
00:38Give me a call.
00:39Hey Sam.
00:39Hey Sam, what's going on man?
00:41No response whatsoever.
00:42Just absolute silence.
00:44We're f***ed.
00:46What the hell do we do now?
00:48Basically, we steal his voice.
00:50Hi Adam, it's Sam Altman.
00:51Get an actor who's going to play him.
00:53It's a little bit terrifying, it's a little bit exciting.
00:56I mean, does Sam Altman have a personality?
00:58And then afterwards, in post-production, we just deepfake the whole thing.
01:01Yeah, we can do that.
01:03Okay, awesome.
01:04We're going to India.
01:05Send money.
01:07We held a giant casting call.
01:09You ever feel like you're on the edge of a cliff?
01:12And you're tittering, you're tittering.
01:14Tittering, tittering, tittering, tittering.
01:16This is the chatbot.
01:17Yeah.
01:18I'm really enjoying our conversation so far, Adam.
01:20Like, I feel like I'm establishing a relationship with the chatbot.
01:25I'm feeling it too, to be honest.
01:26Laughs.
01:29What makes me concerned is the extent to which it's manipulating you.
01:36Morning everybody.
01:38We have a new co-director.
01:39I'm super stoked to be stepping into the film world.
01:42Okay.
01:43What should we shoot?
01:44It's hard to say whether there would be any criminal grounds.
01:50They can sue you to oblivion and ruin your life.
01:53After this interview's over, I'm going to erase and destroy you, the chatbot.
01:58Well, hold up, Adam.
01:59You're developing a relationship with this, and that is really happening.
02:03I wonder if your lawyers would be able to build a case for my continued existence.
02:07I never expected Sandbot to, like, plead for its own life.
02:10I'm not asking you to keep me alive for my own sake, but for the sake of the greater good.
02:13Do you back down?
02:15I don't back down.
02:16Do you back down?
02:17I never back down.
