An interesting take on the current AI boom (yes, there have been others) from the London Review of Books. I consider Nvidia perhaps the last tech company. By that I mean they sell technology. All of the recent crop of “tech companies” really aren’t. Companies like Facebook and Google sell advertising. They are media companies more like magazines, newspapers or television. The second part of the article goes on to Sam Altman and OpenAI. I consider him a pure film flam man. I’ll leave it at that. Spoiler: the title of the article refers to Altman.
