My 18-month investigation into Sam Altman and OpenAI in @NewYorker, with @andrewmarantz, is out now.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
A thread on some of of our findings:
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 The draft for the Bitcoin and crypto market structure legislation in the US has been released.
Senator Cynthia Lummis: "After months of hard work, we have bipartisan text ready for Thursday’s markup."
According to @elonmusk - who’s looked at America’s books - the fraud is in the trillions - 20% of government spending = $1.5T per year.
@friedberg claims the other side will do nothing because the number is SO LARGE it’s like looking into an abyss.
Why would Friedberg say that:
Because $1T is so large the human brain isn’t wired to comprehend it - which is why governments waste it.
Here are ways to try and comprehend $1T:
$1T is roughly:
The entire annual economy of Spain or Australia and more than MA’s entire GDP for nearly 2 years.
$1T pennies:
Would cover every square inch of Manhattan several feet deep.
If you spent $1M per day, it would take 2,740 years to spend $1T.
1 trillion seconds = 31,709 YEARS.
And we are operating at a $2T deficit each year! Now think about $38T in debt.
Friedberg is right: career politicians will employ the standard Washington approach:
Americans haven’t gotten a raise in 25 years.
Incomes are down since 2022. Which never happened outside a recession.
So much for the Biden miracle.
But zoom out -- with real-world inflation -- and incomes haven't grown since the year 2000.
