The New Republic | The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It by Luke Barnes
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article describes a rapidly growing public backlash against artificial‑intelligence technology, illustrated by recent politically motivated attacks on AI leaders and a wave of negative sentiment revealed in surveys—only about a quarter of Americans view AI’s impact on jobs and the economy positively, while Gen Z enthusiasm has fallen sharply. It argues that this hostility stems from the AI industry's tone‑deaf messaging, which swings between doomsday warnings and promises of massive productivity gains that empirical studies have largely failed to deliver, while demanding billions in investment and expanding data‑center footprints that raise local electricity costs. Although firms such as OpenAI and Microsoft have issued policy papers and community‑focused initiatives, the piece contends these promises lack independent accountability and often conflict with actions that protect corporate interests. To restore trust, the author calls for genuine transparency, meaningful regulation, and democratic input on data‑center development rather than further white papers or rhetoric.

yahoo news | Ronan Farrow on Sam Altman and the Fight Over AI’s Future
Ronan Farrow, the journalist famed for exposing Harvey Weinstein, has turned his investigative lens to the rise of OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman and the culture fueling the AI boom. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews and extensive internal documents, Farrow paints a nuanced portrait of Altman—a billionaire visionary whose leadership is simultaneously praised for accelerating AI development and condemned for alleged dishonesty and a lack of transparency. The reporting also surfaces personal accusations from Altman’s sister, Annie, alleging sexual abuse—claims he denies—while Farrow acknowledges the difficulty of independently verifying such allegations.
The bulk of Farrow’s story centers on the dramatic boardroom upheaval that began in November 2023, when OpenAI’s board abruptly ousted Altman for “lack of candor.” The move triggered a near‑universal employee backlash, a swift public campaign for his reinstatement, and intervention from allies like Microsoft. Within days the board reversed its decision, reinstalling Altman and reshuffling its own leadership. Farrow interprets this episode as a clash between principled safety advocates and profit‑driven forces, noting that many board members lacked Silicon‑Valley experience and were swayed by poor legal counsel, allowing capitalism to trump ethical concerns.
Beyond the personal drama, Farrow argues that the episode reveals deeper systemic problems in the AI industry: a culture built on hype, inflated valuations, and a tacit acceptance of deception as a “cost of doing business.” He warns that economic incentives are outpacing oversight, leaving safety and accountability gaps that could affect society at large. As AI’s influence expands across economies and daily life, Farrow’s investigation suggests the critical question is not simply who is building these systems, but whether any mechanisms exist to keep them in check.

Interesting thread from #RonanFarrow about his article in the #NewYorker about #SamAltman and #OpenAI. One thing that caught my attention was this characterization of AI companies in general as "too big to fail." That they could themselves take the US economy down with them, so to speak.

“This account of Altman’s time at #YCombinator is based on discussions with several Y.C. founders and partners, in addition to contemporaneous materials, all of which indicate that the parting was not entirely mutual. On one occasion, Graham told Y.C. colleagues that, prior to his removal, “Sam had been lying to us all the time.”
YC founders deceived …
““Guys, I’ve had enough,” Musk replied. “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit”—otherwise “I’m just being a fool who is essentially providing free funding for you to create a startup.” He quit, acrimoniously, five months later.”
Mini Oligarchs ripping off Oligarchs …
“Carroll Wainwright, another researcher, said that they were part of a “continual slide toward emphasizing #products over #safety.” After the release of #GPT-4, Leike e-mailed members of the board. “OpenAI has been going off the rails on its mission,” he wrote. “We are prioritizing the product and #revenue above all else, followed by AI capabilities, research and scaling, with alignment and safety coming third.” He continued, “Other companies like Google are learning that they should deploy faster and ignore safety problems.”
Profit over safety …
This “ #Altman / #OpenAI / #AI meets #Startups and AI Engineers” story by #RonanFarrow and #AndrewMarantz in the #NewYorker is everything you expect from USA tech and #SiliconValley these days.
