Despite the clickbaity title (in the original it EVEN has tabloid caps), actually a very interesting long form interview with Karen Hao, an MIT alumnus acquainted with several OpenAI execs since university, whose recently published Empire of AI[0] offers an informed, critical look at the AI explosion in Big Tech.

For example, I think this has the best exposition of OpenAI corporate history and Altman's part in it that I've encountered.

The interviewer, while annoyingly keen to inject his own political slant, at least asks some decent questions and knows how to sit quiet listening to the answers.

Really interesting perspectives on AIs, it frustrates me how I never really thought of these collateral effects on the rapid innovation of LLMs/AI.

It's refreshing to see these counternarrative perspective.
