Sam Altman has plenty of opportunity to give his side. Everything he says gets published and repeated. His reaction — pulling the voice — tells us what we need to know, because if OpenAI and Altman didn’t steal Johansson’s voice they could confidently defend against the claim. Altman’s track record and ongoing behavior make giving him the benefit of the doubt an increasingly stupid decision. He earned the skepticism and cynicism with his own statements and behavior. We need to stop worshipping and enabling sociopaths.
