00:00Was OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sliding into DMs on Grindr?
00:03That's what everyone thought after content creator Jake Schroeder posted these screenshots.
00:07That wasn't all.
00:08He took it even further, posting what appeared to be correspondence between him and OpenAI's legal team.
00:13He posted that they were trying to Zoom him to make some sort of deal for him to take down
00:17these posts.
00:18At one point, he even posted that he countered OpenAI's legal team saying,
00:22give me a billion dollars.
00:23And he's even posted alleged Instagram DMs from Sam Altman,
00:27trying to meet him for Boba in order to work all of this out.
00:29Now, while this alleged internet drama between Sam Altman and Jake Schroeder was trending,
00:34OpenAI has now come out and said, actually, this whole thing is fake.
00:37OpenAI released a statement to Vulture saying that the posts are fake
00:40and they've never had any correspondence with this person.
00:43This person meaning Jake.
00:45And it is worth noting that Jake is known for incorporating a lot of satire into his content.
00:49Because he's an AI gay guy looking for fun.
00:53But a whole fake scandal does feel a little far and also proof,
00:56I guess you just can't believe everything you see on the internet.
00:58But now it's time to let us know your thoughts.
