OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who once claimed to try semaglutide 'before it was cool,' ended up in the hospital—no details except it was serious enough to ditch discipline for junk food binges, saying 'I now do basically nothing.' Semaglutide, aka Ozempic and Wegovy, is the trendy GLP-1 drug causing weight loss and Silicon Valley hysteria. Elon Musk, Altman's X-trolling frenemy, also popped Wegovy for that 'fit, ripped, and healthy' look while gorging on Jack-in-the-Box. Altman’s health routine crashed during his high-octane life as a new dad, traveling AI diplomat, and longevity investment enthusiast. Despite 15-hour fasts and vegetarian protein shakes circa 2018, the guy craves chocolate chip cookies at 11:30 pm—clearly, AI can’t optimize cravings.
