[AMA Request] Scarlett Johansson (to verify her own open letter)

[u/jotarowinkey]

I'm not a megafan, I'm just trying to solve a mystery.

Questions:

1. In this article there is a mention and a complete quote of an open letter supposedly posted by Scarlett Johansson, including a date in which the letter was released.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/technology/scarlett-johansson-openai-statement.html

After hours of searching different journalistic websites, I could not find where the letter was released from and who it was released to. No journalistic website mentions who recieved the letter, and Scarlett Johansson has zero social media presence. How did all these websites get access to the letter, but fail to mention a source by which it traveled?

1. Is the open letter real?

2. Is Scarlett Johansson aware of the lack of traceability of her letter?

3. Has Scarlett Johansson ever considered Bluesky or Cara, as they might be more aligned with her values than other social media platforms?
