[Short-Fuse 💣] Does *my* mom know who Sam Altman is?

Question

Does MY mom know who Sam Altman is?

I will talk to my mom next Saturday (1 week from today) and ask her a simple question, “Who is Sam Altman?”. If she says, “The CEO of OpenAI”, this market will resolve YES. If she says, “I have no idea”, resolves NO. I'll count close-enough responses like "The creator of ChatGPT" as YES, but wouldn't count "Someone related to AI."

This market can be a rough gauge of how much of a household name Sam Altman is.

Some facts that may influence your betting:

My mom is in her early sixties, and currently works for the government (in a non-technical role).

She often watches the news in the evening, which can be some combination of CNN, FOX, and MSNBC.

I haven't ever mentioned Sam Altman to her, and she hasn't mentioned him to me.

She certainly knows what ChatGPT is, and has even used it before, but she likely hasn't gone out of her way to research it, understand who owns it, or how it works.

Feel free to ask more questions and I'll do my best to clarify.

This market is almost a direct duplicate from a @mattyb market [short-fuse 💣] Does my mom know who Sam Altman is?.
