Collage of David Szauder’s New Yorker Sam Altman illustration edited to look like its melting.

The illustration for The New Yorker's profile of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a jump scare. Altman stands in a blue sweater with a blank expression. Around his head hovers a cluster of disembodied faces - creepy alt-Altmans, their expressions ranging from anger to open-mouthed woe. Some barely look like Altman. One final face rests in his hands.

Two weeks ago, I was getting ready to log off work when I got a text message.

"Oh wow, I was checking out Mitski. did you know people are saying her Dad was a CIA operative?"

Normally, that kind of out-of-the-blue text from a friend wouldn't faze me. This time, my eyes bugged. The unprompted text had been sent by an AI
