Does my dad know who Sam Altman is?

I will talk to my dad next week and ask him a simple question, “Dad, who is Sam Altman?”. If he says, “The CEO of OpenAI”, easy YES. If he says, “I have no idea”, easy NO.

How much of a household name is SamA?

Some facts that may influence your betting:

  • My dad was born in 1946 (is 78)

  • He's an electric engineer, and was an early technologist he got into computers in the 80s.

  • He went to university in Italy and did an MBA at Columbia in New York.

  • He currently lives in Italy.

  • He watches Italian news on TV and reads italian newspapers. he's subscribed to bloomberg and reads it online in english.

  • I dont recall ever mentioning Sam Altman to him before.

  • He knows what ChatGPT is.

He did not know who Sam Altman was off the bat.

Once I gave a hint about OpenAI he said yeah, he knows they were bought off by Microsoft and he remembers the drama about the CEO leaving but he admitted he did not recognize the name.

Sorry yes traders!

I will talk to my dad either tonight or tomorrow.

@Odoacre extended one day

Seeing all these pop up, I kind of want to make "Does Sam Altman know who my mom is?", but nobody would actually trade on that.

How much does he watch the news, and what kind? (online, domestic TV, international TV, newspapers?)

Does he speak English?

@Santiago He watches italian news on TV and reads italian newspapers..

He's subscribed to bloomberg and reads it in english.

@Santiago updated the market description with some relevant info
