I think this is an interesting interview about AI companies. I'm curious to see what people think.

Edit/Addendum: the full title of the video is "A.I. is a Religious Cult with Karen Hao". Karen Hao recently released a book called "Empire of AI - Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI".

I don't think the video title is great. The interview covers a wide range of topics around AI companies (often quite critically) and makes some interesting points.
