A device in a viral clip
Berman shows a video and notes Jony Ive's work with OpenAI. The clip's alleged connection to the company is not established.
A viral clip might appear to show a leaked OpenAI hardware device. It features actor Alexander Skarsgård with earbuds and a shiny object. OpenAI denied that it was a shelved advertisement or a leak of its product; the video's existence is not evidence that the object belongs to OpenAI.
For background, OpenAI acquired Jony Ive's company and has worked with the designer, known for products including the iMac, iPhone and iPad. I wonder whether the pebble-shaped object resembles something he might design, but that resemblance does not establish that he designed this object or that it is OpenAI hardware.
The rumor and OpenAI's denial
An anonymous post claimed the video was a shelved Super Bowl advertisement. OpenAI denied the claim, leaving Berman asking about the clip's provenance.
An anonymous Reddit post claimed that an OpenAI employee leaked an ad after the company chose a different Super Bowl spot. Other users found the video, but OpenAI denied the story. I ask what the clip is if it is not an OpenAI ad; the source and purpose of the footage are not established by the video.
