Faye’s Reviews > Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI > Status Update

This sounds familiar...

"While some employees found the [AI] tools a big productivity boost, many, also found them exhausting. 'There is this culture of 'Use AI, use AI, use AI', says one. But 'it's like, okay, this doesn't help us. We don't want to use it. And it feels like it's everywhere and we can't escape it.'"

“Artificial general intelligence, if ever reached, will solve climate change, enable affordable health care, provide equitable education. OpenAI is the poster child for this line of thought. It cannot say how the technology will deliver on these promises—only that the staggering price society needs to pay for what it it is developing will someday be worth it.”

20 pages in and I already know this book is gonna be eye-opening and incredibly instructive.

“…we can all resist the narratives that OpenAI and the AI industry have told us to hide the mounting social and environmental costs of this technology behind an elusive vision of progress.”
