When Sam Altman was ousted as CEO of OpenAI on November 17, 2023, Kara Swisher started tweeting up a storm of “scoopage,” as she referred to her calls with high-ranking tech figures. Over the days Altman was on the outside, Swisher helped to craft a narrative that a board stacked with his internal rivals had pulled off a coup without a legitimate reason. The face of the AI boom had been betrayed and deserved to retake his position at the helm.

The worst people seem to always rise to the top of their fields because they don’t have the same guardrails as the rest of us.

There are LOTS of women in tech who need to be listened to way more than anyone does - I hate that this can erode that trust

Also true: power corrupts, more power corrupts more, & a journalist’s career thrives on it

Also true: Kara Swisher used to be friends with Ellen Musk. So there was the insider power & eventually some wisdom won, but idk exactly when that happened

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
