An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI
When longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.
But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the ‘compute’ power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground ‘cleaning it up’ for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.
In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.

Eleştirmen yorumları
If you want to know about the players, the egos and the corporate politics and competition in AI this is for you. There did though seem to be unnecessary names checks almost as if they would at least buy the book.
What was missing was more about the capability and challenges of getting it right. “Training” and “safety and risks” were mentioned but in a catch all way and not deep diving into what is involved, and how these have changed over time.
There are good sections on the environmental impact and exploitation of workers in poorer countries, but ultimately this is more a business book than a technology book.
Not the book I thought it would be

I kept waiting for the book to broaden out to include the many other players globally, which it doesn't
A missed opportunity to capture and record the evolution of the most transitional technology of all that is AI.
Detailed but just OpenAI

There’s also lots of unnecessary woke language and ideas for what I thought would be a book about the rise of OpenAI. It’s a shame that this well-researched book is tainted by that lens - often inserting oppressed/oppressor framings into situations that absolutely do not need one.
For people deep down the rabbit hole, they literally see everything in life through those lenses and try to impose it onto others - this book is a clear example of this phenomenon.
A shame really.
A bit tedious
