At what point do you confirm that the photos of your wedding, your own wedding, are authentic and not created using artificial intelligence? Right now you are Sam Altman, the world’s great artificial intelligence boss. Altman (Chicago, 38 years old) got married these days – it seems that it was on Wednesday, January 10, although the exact date is not known – as they actually showed Some pictures which was distributed throughout Thursday on the social network. Of course, the text was not written by ChatGPT.
According to unconfirmed information, Altman married her long-time boyfriend, an Australian engineer named Oliver Mulherin, Ollie, on a beach – in Hawaii, his friends say. At the ceremony, the couple was surrounded by just a dozen guests, as seen in the photos, in a simple and intimate sunset celebration by the sea and among palm trees. Without a jacket or tie, both wore white shirts (with a small bouquet of flowers on the lapel) and beige pants and white sneakers. The ceremony was officiated by Sam’s brother Jack Altman, who is also the co-founder of a human resources management startup called Lattice. In one of the four photos released, the couple can be seen stepping on what appears to be a glass under a napkin. This is a Jewish wedding ritual that involves stepping on a glass object and breaking it.

The CEO of OpenAI and her husband have known each other for years. They live in the exclusive Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, Northern California, and spend weekends on a farm a few hours away in Napa Valley, where vegetarian Altman raises cows. The eldest son of four brothers from what he calls a “middle-class Jewish family,” he himself has said in various interviews that he grew up as a gay teenager in the early years of Saint Louis, Missouri. The 1990s and 2000s weren’t easy, and that’s exactly what he took refuge in technology, which he started using when he was barely eight years old. Thanks to his first Mac computer and various Internet forums, he felt better understood and accepted.
The personal life of the CEO of what is now the major artificial intelligence company remained private for years, but last June the couple was spotted together at a White House dinner hosted by President Joe Biden in honor of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi. Also a month ago, in December, they were seen at the party organized by Time magazine at the Plaza Hotel in New York, which named Altman the best CEO of the year in 2023. Before her relationship with Mulherin, Altman dated Nick Sivo, a fellow engineer, for nine years, with whom she founded a geolocation startup called Loopt in 2005 and with whom she split in 2012, shortly after selling the company for more than $43 million had . After the sale, he took a year off, which, as he said in an interview, caused him to change his perspective on life and take things slowly, as the Loopt project had left him exhausted and sick.
Little is known about Mulherin. He studied computer science at the University of Melbourne in his native Australia and then worked at Meta for two years. About five years ago he started working on code problems related to the language and the game, but at the moment it is unknown whether he is still working on it or not. According to Altman in a recent interview with New York Magazine, they plan to have children soon.

In recent weeks, Altman has found himself in the crosshairs of the media and technology crisis over issues that have more to do with his work than his previously discreet personal life. On November 17th he unexpectedly left his own company. The OpenAI board passed him abruptly and via video conference. It was Friday. On Saturday, several of the company’s brightest minds left following the decision. Talks about a possible return began on Sunday. On Monday, Microsoft hired him, precisely one of the company’s shareholders (the company has invested $13 billion), to lead a “new research team in advanced artificial intelligence.” On Tuesday night, just five days after the soap opera began, they decided to bring him back into OpenIA. The many changes and twists revealed the chaotic nature of a booming sector that moves tens of billions of dollars and in which powerful forces, especially economic ones, pull on both sides of the rope (between inexorable progress and slower development) of a technology in which everything is still being explored must. And Altman will be one of those architects of the future.
