Difficult to see how these two stories aren't related.

OpenAI has been one of the most insane business stories in years. I can't wait to read a full book about it that isn't written by either Walter Isaacson or Michael Lewis.

I've only read Michael Lewis's "Liars Poker" which I enjoyed, but perhaps that sort of treatment of OpenAI would make it into more of a drama (which also seems to be somewhat true) and gloss over what the key players were really thinking which is what would really be interesting.

I want Chuck Palahniuk to write the book. It would be dark and amazing.

Do you have appetite for a poem? @sama made it on my list of Silicon Valley villains [1] long time ago:

"Villain staging the show / open, close / you can count on the con man to wow you / even though, the only trick he knows / is the “law” of scale / but let's just hope / The con man doesn't turn into evil / when the thing he has is real and powerful"
