[Linkpost] Statement from Scarlett Johansson on OpenAI's use of the "Sky" voice, that was shockingly similar to her own voice.

Seems like bad behaviour from Altman (though not terribly surprising). 

I doubt I'll comment much on this publicly because I doubt I have much to add. I think there is a risk of overextension here - this seems like dumb/bad behaviour but isn't as harmful as the NDA stuff. I think it would be easy to stop being focused on "are OpenAI being good stewards of AI?" to "we sneer whenever altman makes a mistake". I think that would be a bad transition. 

The main questions in my mind are the extent to which public opinion (in the tech sphere and beyond) will swing against OpenAI in the midst of all this, and the extent to which it will matter. There's potential for real headway here - public opinion can be strong.
