- Reposted by keachhageyThe quasi-religious cult in Silicon Valley attempting to produce a super intelligent AI of course has ties to the techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel. This article shares a must read excerpt from The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the Race to Invent the Future, by @keachhagey.bsky.social.
- Thanks, @davidenrich.bsky.social!
- I highly recommend @keachhagey.bsky.social’s new book, THE OPTIMIST, about Sam Altman. Fascinating, beautifully written and (at least to me) deeply unnerving. wwnorton.com/books/978132...
- Thanks, @thefrontlist.org!
- Did writing the first biography of Sam Altman make @keachhagey.bsky.social more or less optimistic about the future? I asked her for The Frontlist. www.thefrontlist.org/p/exclusive-...

- “Hagey's account suggests that [the old OpenAI board’s] reasons were much better than we knew at the time. And the world today might look very different had someone said so when it mattered.” — @caseynewton.bsky.social on the excerpt from my Sam Altman biography, THE OPTIMIST bit.ly/4l9FISm
- Reposted by keachhageyAn excerpt from @keachhagey.bsky.social's new book on Sam Altman explains in the greatest detail yet why the board fired him in 2023 — and raises the question of what would have happened if the board had told us all this at the time www.platformer.news/we-finally-k...
