Gwyneth Paltrow is going full meme over that ‘private, off-the-record al-fresco dinner’

Some social media users appeared confused by Gwyneth Paltrow's attempt to address the Sam Altman dinner backlash with spoof invitations.

Gwyneth Paltrow defended herself against criticism following her dinner invite for Sam Altman, by posting a series of meme-style invitations on Instagram. The invitations featured fictional characters such as Shrek, Jessica Rabbit, and M3gan, in place of Altman's name. The post, which mimicked the design of a previous invitation, received over 800 comments, ranging from humor to criticism.

The dinner party for Altman, which was private and off-the-record, had sparked backlash earlier in the week, with some calling Paltrow "tone-deaf" and others joking about the secrecy of the event. Despite the controversy, Paltrow has been increasingly involved in the AI world, both through her investments in companies like Forethought AI and Speechify, and her use of AI at her wellness company Goop. She has also featured AI-related guests on her podcast and at the Meltwater Summit.
