altguy
/ what is this

two memes, one cardigan.

01

the chill guy half

cartoon dude. hands in pockets. mildly judgmental side-eye. cannot be made to care. famously the wallpaper of every 17-year-old's phone for one weekend in late 2024.

vibe · transcendent
02

the "scam altman" half

a nickname popularized by a certain rocket-and-cars founder during an april 2026 lawsuit alleging a non-profit was, allegedly, gently relocated into a $150B for-profit. allegedly.

/ timeline of chill

a calm, factual* recap.

  1. 2015

    a non-profit is born.

    "open" is right there in the name. it's a charity. promise.

  2. 2019

    a "capped-profit" appears next to it.

    cap is technically a number. that number is large. still chill.

  3. 2023

    five-day weekend.

    fired on a friday. ceo again by tuesday. did not stop being chill.

  4. apr 2026

    the "scam altman" trial begins in oakland.

    $150,000,000,000 in damages allegedly sought. hands remain, allegedly, in pockets.

  5. also apr 2026

    molotov at the residence.

    the discourse is, frankly, no longer chill. altguy is, as always, just a chill guy.

* "factual" used here in the loosest, most allegedly-aware sense.

/ the meme wall

tasteful, locally-sourced cope.

/ faq

questions, answered evasively.

is altguy actually sam altman?

no. altguy is a parody character. any resemblance to a real ceo allegedly involved in a $150B lawsuit is, statistically, deeply unfortunate.

is this affiliated with chill guy / openai / xai / anyone?

no. it is a small landing page about a small drawing of a small chill man.

is there a token?

no. there is, however, a vibe.

where can i read the safety report?

404. would you like to read the roadmap instead? it is also 404.

why is altguy slightly to the right?

he prefers it. don't make it weird.

join the chill.

okay there is a token. there's no roadmap, no AGI date, no safety report. just a calm, allegedly-aware corner of the internet and one (1) ticker on solana.
