Some claim OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is the 21st-century version of Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the atomic bomb was designed.

Altman is a pedestrian programmer who clawed his way to the top of a budding empire, just like Bill Gates who created Microsoft in 1975.
