Self-selecting yourself as the kind of model to explain the impact of LLMs is really something. "Well they made ME more curious, so let's calm down about what they will do to others!" Somehow I think we should get bigger sample sizes then just the self.

Sam is saying that the public should only read books about Open AI and himself if... those books were basically approved and vetted. I haven't read the Hagey and Vance books; they might be great! But Altman is trying to stomp out any interest in Empire of AI by Karen Hao
