Ep.14 - The five days that did (not) shake OpenAI
from Black Box - English version · host Guido Brera - Chora Media
The latest earthquake to shake Silicon Valley was last Friday 17th November. The epicenter was at 601 Mission Street, San Francisco, headquarters to OpenAI – the leader of the AI sector. In less than a week, the CEO was first ejected and then reinstated on his chair. The tremors at the top of OpenAI are the final act in a secret war between the two factions of techno-optimists and techno-critics, who fear humanity’s loss of control over AI. But the real plot twist is the entrance on the board of Lawrence Henry Summers, the tight-rope walker, the fabricator: the mastermind behind American capitalism of the last thirty years.
