Sam Altman's professional abuser burnout happening at the same time that his sister's accusations against him hit the mainstream. This book should be a movie I'm kvelling

Everyone who works at this company is a myopic narcissist who cannot imagine a world different from the one we already live in despite their claims of the opposite. Is it #visionary to simply speed up the healthcare system instead of. I don't know. Changing the system itself???

This project was a male chauvinist, racist, privacy infringing pile of shit from the very beginning. I'm barely 1/4 of the way into this book too

this book is really fucking cool. a genuinely great take on artificial intelligence, automation, and extractionist capitalism. this book has really disparate reviews so i'm very curious about what happens in the second half of the book

super disappointed in this book so far :( the plot all feels like it's happening TO the characters rather than the characters driving the plot forward, which i really dislike especially in a book that is entirely about characters. also omfg so much non-fiction infodumping. we get it you did a lot of research but p boring to kind of just relay that info to the audience in such a dry way

i really admire the author's choice to frame ansky's biography through what she is interpreting as an intensely homoerotic lifelong friendship he had. (not to disregard everything else for rpf, i'm really enjoying the lens of ansky's own fictional works to interpret his irl experiences too) (but ultimately this book is about S. Ansky, Bisexual Disaster

Lol this book is so funny. I like how much everyone is a bitch. Also I like that they're all slutshaming one specific man. The characters are definitely misogynists but sholem aleichem chose misandry too
