Harris boozily confronted AI mogul Sam Altman at the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night, Page Six has learned \u2014 calling the OpenAI boss a Nazi.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re told that amidst a crowd that included Michael B. Jordan, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, Teyana Taylor, Zoe Salda\u00f1a, Chase Infiniti, Colman Domingo and more, the \u201cSlave Play\u201d scribe made a bee line for the ChatGPT founder and confronted him about his firm\u2019s new deal with the Department of War.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy O. Harris was snapped on his way into the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, right before he confronted Sam Altman. FilmMagic<\/p>\n<p>Altman was also photographed going into  the ultra-exclusive bash at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. REUTERS<\/p>\n<p>Sputtering spies at the uber exclusive post-Oscars bash told Page Six that Harris accused Altman of being the \u201c[Joseph] Goebbels of the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But on Tuesday, Harris \u2014 whose hit play scored a record-setting 12 Tony nominations in 2020 \u2014 told us by email: \u201cIt was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels\u2026 I should\u2019ve said Friedrich Flick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those whose History Channel subscription has lapsed, Flick was a German industrialist whose businesses had a symbiotic relationship with the Nazi Party which allowed the Nazis to be significantly more effective in their activities while earning Flick a massive fortune. He was found guilty of war crimes\u00a0and\u00a0crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials.<\/p>\n<p>(Talk about splitting herrs!)<\/p>\n<p>Others at the party included Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. WireImage<\/p>\n<p>The scene of the confrontation was a sea of A-lister, including Zoe Saldana. WireImage<\/p>\n<p>It should go without saying that there is absolutely no reason to believe that Altman \u2014 who was ranked as the most influencial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/influencers\/50jews-23\/article-757946\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jew in the world by the Jerusalem Post in 2023<\/a> \u2014 is in any way associated with the Nazi Party.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re told Altman responded calmly.<\/p>\n<p>In late February OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, signed a deal with the Pentagon to provide its AI for classified goverment systems.<\/p>\n<p>Altman, here testifying before Congress, has drawn heat for his deal with the Pentagon.  Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Altman announced  government investment in AI at the White House in January. Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The move sparked an intense backlash, including among OpenAI employees, and, the Post reported, Altman was forced to defend the contract in front of workers at a tense all-hands meeting after protesters outside its San Francisco headquarters urged employees to quit.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have argued that the goverment could use the powerful AI tool to spy on citizens, but OpenAI has claimed its built in \u201cguardrails\u201d to prevent that happening.<\/p>\n<p> Vanity Fair declined to comment and reps for OpenAI didn\u2019t get back to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Famed playwright Jeremy O.
