Sam Altman’s Brief Ouster at OpenAI Is Getting the Movie Treatment

At one point, Hollywood decided that the world of technology was a pretty little well for drama, but it can probably throw the last material in which it occurred rather than serving it to the rest of us. According to The Hollywood ReporterWe are going to get a film according to the five -day period that Sam Altman was ousted and finally reinstated as Openai chief.

The film, which would be entitled “Artificial”, already has a fairly starred call sheet, although everything is always in the period of rumor, it seems.

Luca Guadagnino, director of Call me by name And Challengers, would be in talks to direct the image. Andrew Garfield is currently the favorite to play Altman, who is really in his wheelhouse after his performance as co-founder of Facebook Eduardo SAVERIN The social network. Monica Barbaro, who played Joan Baez A complete unknownwould be in talks to play the old CTO of Openai Mira Murati, and Aor The breakout star, Yura Borisov, is in place for the co-founder of the company and antagonist Altman Ilya Sutskever. Comedy writer Simon Rich, who wrote for “Saturday Night Live” and created “Miracle Workers”, is responsible for the script.

One of the problems for Hollywood, several times after these Big Tech dramas, is that the industries are now so tangled. This openai film, for example, is managed by Amazon MGM Studios. Amazon is by the way $ 8 billion deep in investments in an anthropogenic rival. So do they have the motivation to throw Openai in this thing? (It is not an external pressure to do it is necessary, but still.)

And of course, Openai’s drama is convincing. It is not too often that the founder of one of the most popular societies in the world is expelled by the board of directors because they no longer trust him, only for him to restore five days later. And, like stories like Wall Street Journal of events Highlight, there is no shortage of intrigue and beading along the way that will probably play well on the big screen.

But UGH is the list of these Silicon Valley dramas which become long, and it does not feel like really accomplishing almost other than the pumping of the Egos of the subjects. The social network Probably remains the best job that the genre has produced (with the exception of HBO’s “Silicon Valley”, which has not aged a day since it ended), and even it has not really captured how greedy and contrary to ethics. (However, give Aaron Sorkin this, he was probably ahead of the curve by calling the bro-eh-ann de Zuckerberg which is now exposed when it appears on the Podcast of Joe Rogan.)

The rest of the offers to their charms, of course. “The Dropout”, “Wecrashed” and “Super Pumped” all manage to withdraw great performances and are built around convincing stories. But none of them really go enough to greed, corruption, and frankly, disdain for everyone, regulators with regular people who are injured while these people have their fortune. It is perhaps because the stories generally follow the central figures-the Altmans and Zuckerbergs and Holmesses of the world-of their seats in the C-Suites, and they are so rarely confronted with reality there.
