Sam Altman Artificial Intelligence
Journalist Keach Hagey, author of The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the Race to Invent the Future, chronicles Sam Altman’s trajectory from his St. Louis upbringing and Stanford tech ventures to leading Y Combinator and co-founding OpenAI. The narrative details OpenAI’s evolution from a non-profit research initiative backed by Elon Muskinto a commercial AI powerhouse driving global artificial general intelligence development. (7)Corrections made: Schilling’s full subtitle is Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter; “elusively interacting” corrected to weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs); Hannibal Barca spelled the standard way; and Carthage’s destruction came in 146 BCE after the Third Punic War, not directly after Zama, so I adjusted that sentence.
