AI Whistleblower: We Are Being Gaslit By AI Companies, They’re Hiding The Truth! - Karen Hao
In this excerpt, Karen Hao discusses the research behind her book on OpenAI and the wider AI industry, explaining how her reporting took her beyond Silicon Valley and into the real-world consequences of AI development. The conversation covers the origins of AI, the shifting definitions of AGI, and the idea that companies tailor their messaging to different audiences to support growth, funding, and influence. Hao also raises concerns about labor, creators, regulation, and environmental harm, while arguing that the same capabilities could potentially be developed in less damaging ways.
