Summary
6 p.m. cocktails and a 6:45 p.m. seated dinner are still on for Sam Altman, with Gwyneth Paltrow directing guests to an Amagansett decoy house before moving them to a second site.
The secret plan surfaced in a note that first claimed the Hamptons event was postponed after public scrutiny, then revealed the cancellation was a ruse to preserve an off-the-record gathering.
Paltrow framed the dinner as a private conversation about artificial intelligence and Altman, despite criticism that hosting OpenAI's co-founder ignored AI's risks to writers and actors.
The reversal follows a report a day earlier that Paltrow had shelved the original Amagansett dinner amid online backlash, making the latest message a covert continuation rather than a rescheduling.
