What could go wrong?

In The Optimist, the Wall Street Journal reporter Keach Hagey presents the most detailed account yet of Altman’s rise, from his precocious childhood in St. Louis to his first, failed startup experience; his time as legendary entrepreneur Paul Graham’s protégé and successor as head of Y Combinator, the start-up accelerator where Altman became the premier power broker in Silicon Valley; the founding of OpenAI and his recruitment of a small yet superior team; and his struggle to keep his company at the cutting edge while fending off determined rivals, including Elon Musk.

Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills.

In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software".

This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer.

Of all the challenges in modern life, some of the most vexing come from our relationships with automation: a large system does us wrong, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

In 2015, NASA's Kepler space observatory identified a planet, dubbed Kepler-452b, as having similar qualities to Earth - that is, potentially habitable. The downside, of course, was that it was 1400 light years from us. It would take another 14 years before science cracked the code, faster-than-light quantum propulsion, making it possible to cover such distances in a matter of years, not tens of centuries. However, mankind's propensity for war has also, by this time, pushed the world to the edge, where geopolitical powers are facing off in what will inevitably be the war to end all wars - ...

It's a brutally cold day in Buffalo, New York, one of those days when folks are hunkered down inside their homes, but for 71-year-old John Ross, a warm house, safe from the screeching winds which assault the city from the north, there is no warmth.
