"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."
"One AI video depicts Altman as some cartoonishly evil Hunger Games-esque overlord, speaking to a coliseum crowd while he watches contestants fight over "a single bowl of slop" at the "annual nourishment trials." "Keep cameras on Sector 3, let them feel the weight of scarcity, I want a replay on that throw," machine-guns an uncanny approximation of Altman's voice in about two seconds."
Sora 2's release prompted fans to create absurd AI-generated videos featuring Sam Altman in mocking and surreal scenarios. Social media feeds and dedicated Twitter pages flooded with clips portraying Altman as a Hunger Games-style overlord, a thief at Studio Ghibli, a disembodied head singing in a toilet, a cat-suited office worker, and many other bizarre personas. Some clips reference controversies about AI training on artists' work, while others lean into pop-culture pastiches like Grand Theft Auto, Skibidi Toilet, and The Lorax. The volume and variety of clips turned Altman into a recurring, uncanny meme subject across platforms.
