Article on the culture of OpenAI gave me weird flashbacks. The author couldn’t know this, but the personalities and ways of thinking are SO familiar from 1988.

I had the exact same response. And suspect I'd look more kindly on it now. I recommend "Technopoly", though it may be most of the ideas are already familiar.
