‘They Offered a Month’s Rent’: OpenAI Wanted to Collaborate With Husk

Creator Matt Husk—Husk IRL—has had huge success posting videos where he trolls AI models. At WIRED World Fair in Miami he told us that “all the big AI companies” have asked about working with him, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI. “They [OpenAI] offered me barely a month’s rent,” Husk says, explaining why he turned them down. OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI did not respond to requests for comment.
