Difficult to see how these two stories aren't related.

OpenAI has been one of the most insane business stories in years. I can't wait to read a full book about it that isn't written by either Walter Isaacson or Michael Lewis.


I've only read Michael Lewis's "Liars Poker" which I enjoyed, but perhaps that sort of treatment of OpenAI would make it into more of a drama (which also seems to be somewhat true) and gloss over what the key players were really thinking which is what would really be interesting.


I want Chuck Palahniuk to write the book. It would be dark and amazing.


love chuck because the third act would be sam eating his own head while realising AGI was created to delete itself and taking away everything that is his


Do you have appetite for a poem? @sama made it on my list of Silicon Valley villains [1] long time ago:

"Villain staging the show / open, close / you can count on the con man to wow you / even though, the only trick he knows / is the “law” of scale / but let's just hope / The con man doesn't turn into evil / when the thing he has is real and powerful"
