Ep.14 - The five days that did (not) shake OpenAI

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.
