Just started this book. I assigned it to my first year seminar class. It is 🔥. I felt like I was watching a Netflix docudrama in my head. It really pokes and prods at motivations, economies, colonialism, ethics, alignment, -isms, and the cultures of tech and shaping tech. #HumanizingSTEM
Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.
