ALBAWABA - Open AI CEO, Sam Altman recently made headlines after taking to social media and announcing the birth of his first child. The tech billionaire took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) despite the recent clash between him and Musk and showcased a picture of his child.
The picture also showed Altman holding the child's small hand with his finger. He took to X stating that the baby came early and wrote, "Welcome to the world, little guy! He came early and is going to be in the NICU for awhile. he is doing well and it’s really nice to be in a little bubble taking care of him. I have never felt such love."
Since the baby was born prematurely, he will be spending time in the hospital for extra precaution.

Altman recently rejected a $100 billion bid made by X CEO Elon Musk to obtain one of the world's best AI bots, ChatGP.
This move complicated things for Altman and OpenAI since the company has an unusual structure of a partnership between non-profit and for-profit. So despite knowing that he wouldn't obtain it for that price tag, Musk benefited from his move by complicating things for his competitor Altman.
According to BBC, Dr Penn said, "What Musk is trying to do here is raise the perceived value of the non-profit arm of OpenAI, so that OpenAI has to pay more to get out of the obligations it has to its own non-profit."
It's worth noting that Musk founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba back in 2015.
