Christopher Nolan’s new movie “Oppenheimer,” which delves into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy) and the development of the atomic bomb, is receiving praise from many, but the chief executive of OpenAI, Sam Altman, doesn’t share the enthusiasm. The founder of ChatGPT, expressed his disappointment on Twitter, stating that he was hoping the film would inspire young minds to pursue physics, but it fell short of his expectations.

In a tweet, Altman said, “I was hoping that the Oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that. Let’s get that movie made! (I think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.)”

He went on to praise the “Apollo 11” movie instead calling it the most inspiring film he has ever seen, strongly recommending it.
