Jeremy O. Harris drunkenly called OpenAI’s Sam Altman a Nazi at the Vanity Fair Oscar party

Famed playwright Jeremy O. Harris boozily confronted AI mogul Sam Altman at the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night, Page Six has learned — calling the OpenAI boss a Nazi.

We’re told that amidst a crowd that included Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, Teyana Taylor, Zoe Saldaña, Chase Infiniti, Colman Domingo and more, the “Slave Play” scribe made a bee line for the ChatGPT founder and confronted him about his firm’s new deal with the Department of War.

Sputtering spies at the uber exclusive post-Oscars bash told Page Six that Harris accused Altman of being the “[Joseph] Goebbels of the Trump administration.”

But on Tuesday, Harris — whose hit play scored a record-setting 12 Tony nominations in 2020 — told us by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

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 and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials.

(Talk about splitting herrs!)

It should go without saying that there is absolutely no reason to believe that Altman — who was ranked as the most influencial Jew in the world by the Jerusalem Post in 2023 — is in any way associated with the Nazi Party.

We’re told Altman responded calmly.

In late February OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, signed a deal with the Pentagon to provide its AI for classified goverment systems.

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.

Critics have argued that the goverment could use the powerful AI tool to spy on citizens, but OpenAI has claimed its built in “guardrails” to prevent that happening.

Vanity Fair declined to comment and reps for OpenAI didn’t get back to us.
