Sam Altman Was Bending the World to His Will Long Before OpenAI
(Treated like Steve Jobs updated for current sensibilities. But the world is still looking for hope amidst capitalist dominance resulting in inflation or recession and conflicts. AI would be a better less destructive equalizer than a pandemic say, between Communism and all. But Generative AI could be applied to ideologies. Issue of what societal rewards would include if not jobs. An alt-manifesto. What is democracy under diversity? A hypothesis. Human in the loop begs knowledge, training, and experience. Minsky referred to a sea of mental mysteries.)

An anthropologist studies the warring ideas of Noam Chomsky | Aeon Essays
From the book: "To understand the crucial role played by Chomsky in all this, let me take you back to his very first job interview in 1955. It was for a post in a military lab in Boston, the Cold War by this stage well under way. The successful applicant would join a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology working on machine translation, a project heavily funded by the Pentagon with military applications in mind. 2 Noam Chomsky attended the interview but had other ideas. Detesting the whole concept of military research, he explained that he wasn’t interested in machine translation and wouldn’t help. On that understanding, he was given the job. From then on, according to Chomsky, he never touched machine translation at all."
