1. Great story by my former colleagues 2. I don't think copyright law works like that www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

Excited that Amazon has named THE OPTIMIST the #3 best business and leadership book of 2025 so far: www.amazon.com/b/?_encoding...

Fun talking to @jimsciutto.bsky.social about Sam Altman, Jony Ive, OpenAI and THE OPTIMIST video.snapstream.net/Play/9Ip3w8n...

Thanks, @richardwaters.bsky.social for the great review of THE OPTIMIST in the Financial Times! “Timely and myth-busting” — Richard Waters, Financial Times www.ft.com/content/1721...

The quasi-religious cult in Silicon Valley attempting to produce a super intelligent AI of course has ties to the techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel. This article shares a must read excerpt from The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the Race to Invent the Future, by @keachhagey.bsky.social.

Thanks, @davidenrich.bsky.social!

Thanks, @thefrontlist.org!

Thanks, @caseynewton.bsky.social and @kevinroose.bsky.social, for a great conversation about the real reasons behind OpenAI’s blip and my new book about Sam Altman: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/p...

In its starred review, Publishers Weekly calls The OPTIMIST a “fleet-footed biography” full of “crackerjack reporting.” “The first major biography of tech’s newest titan, this sets a high bar for those to follow.” www.publishersweekly.com/9781324075967

Had a great time talking to @leolaporte.me, @jeffjarvis.bsky.social, @richcampbell.bsky.social on the Intelligent Machines podcast @twit.tv about why Sam Altman got fired (briefly) and my new biography of him, THE OPTIMIST wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Great fun to chat with @ajkeen.bsky.social about Sam Altman, OpenAI, and my forthcoming book, THE OPTIMIST, which comes out in May. Preorder now: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

“Hagey's account suggests that [the old OpenAI board’s] reasons were much better than we knew at the time. And the world today might look very different had someone said so when it mattered.” — @caseynewton.bsky.social on the excerpt from my Sam Altman biography, THE OPTIMIST bit.ly/4l9FISm

An excerpt from @keachhagey.bsky.social's new book on Sam Altman explains in the greatest detail yet why the board fired him in 2023 — and raises the question of what would have happened if the board had told us all this at the time www.platformer.news/we-finally-k...

Great chatting with @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social @beckyquick.bsky.social at @squawkboxx.bsky.social this morning about my biography of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, THE OPTIMIST, coming May 20 from Norton. bit.ly/4hRzhR1
