Karen Hao:Inside Look at Open AI

https://archive.is/Qghwf#selection-2129.0-2129.12

Hao was given unprecedented access to OpenAI’s offices in 2019, and has since spoken to hundreds of former employees and people within Altman’s inner circle to piece together the story of how OpenAI went from an ideological non-profit, with the purpose of “saving humanity”, to an engine of record financial investment and controversy (last week The Wall Street Journal reported it was preparing to file for a public listing, expecting a valuation in excess of $1 trillion). It is the central theme of her book, Empire of AI: Inside the reckless race for total domination , published last month, in which she argues that the maker of ChatGPT sparked a race for technological progress which is rapacious, extractive and bad for humanity.

The earth is a candle we are burning at both ends. AI is a blow torch we are taking to the candle ends.

The usages of AI in the future are very untrustworthy. We know that and wont act currently. We have some say from time to time.

I’ve been suggesting this book for months now. A must-read.
