Broadway playwright, Jeremy O. Harris, compared OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler at the Oscars Party. Harris was reportedly confronted about the company's agreement with the Department of War regarding its use of AI services, raising concerns that the government could easily surveil Americans. The agreement has since been updated to read that the Department made clear it shares its commitment to ensuring that its tools will not be used for domestic surveillance.
