Book Reveals Inside Story of AI Race

Journalist Kevin Roose's new book "The AGI Chronicles," based on over 150 interviews, reveals the race among leading AI firms to build superintelligence. It recounts a 2022 OpenAI retreat near Yosemite where Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever burned a demon statue symbolizing out-of-control AI, and says personal grudges, especially between Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei, shape the race.
