There\u2019s a part that\u2019s like, \u201cI wonder if they\u2019re too big to fail, they\u2019re too big.\u201d They\u2019re able to go, \u201cWell, they got the walk right, but everything else is kind of bullshit.\u201d And then they move on because it\u2019s small potatoes to them. I\u2019m not sure. I\u2019m not in their sphere, but I\u2019m really, really, really curious to see how it all plays out.<\/p>\n<p>There was something really great about just seeing the AI guys depicted. It was like, \u201cOh yeah, we do still live in a society where you can make fun of Elon Musk a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But then there\u2019s always people that come out and defend them. It\u2019s so strange. Whether they\u2019re bots or otherwise, I\u2019m not sure, but there\u2019s just an army of people that are like, \u201cLeave those rich guys alone.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Vanity Fair, Sam Altman told a remarkable story about walking out of his home and running into the production of Artificial and seeing you. What did that moment feel like from the other side?<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<p>Did you have a body double?<\/p>\n<p>No, I didn\u2019t have a body double. No, I saw that interview and I replayed it a few times to try and discern what he was actually saying, because I was very confused by that. I never had any interaction with him. I\u2019ve never seen him in real life. We were shooting outside of his house. It was an eerie day, for sure. We were told that he wasn\u2019t home and his security people were there. I think I saw one security guard. But, no, I never saw Sam, so he maybe mistook someone else for me. I have no idea, but I\u2019ve never waved at Sam. I\u2019ve never seen him. I was curious about that. [A representative for OpenAI told GQ that Altman was home during the filming and reiterated that he waved at Garfield.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That being said, there\u2019s another part of me that\u2019s like, \u201cI don\u2019t think this is going to touch&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[25252,236,88,144254,206],"class_list":["post-905817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-andrew-garfield","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-men-of-the-year","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
