Founded as a non-profit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the ‘compute’ power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground ‘cleaning it up’ for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karen Hao","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45170824183855,"sku":"9780241678923","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9780241678923.jpg?v=1775224753","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/empire-of-ai-inside-the-reckless-race-for-total-domination","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
