Have you heard of: Empire of AI Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI by Karen Hao Penguin Publishing Group | Penguin Books Paperback $28.99 list price Technology & Engineering / Social Aspects Political Science / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism Business & Economics / International - Economics & Trade Published: May 19, 2026 9780593657522 "When AI expert and investigative journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, the organization was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely mercantile, and potentially dangerous, forces. What could go wrong?" "Hao shows through intrepid reporting on the ground around the world, the enormous wheels of extraction grind on. By drawing on the viewpoints of Silicon Valley engineers, Kenyan data laborers, and Chilean water activists, Hao presents the fullest picture of AI and its impact we've seen to date, alongside a trenchant analysis of where things are headed. An astonishing eyewitness view from both up in the command capsule of the new economy and down where the real suffering happens, Empire of AI pierces the veil of the industry defining our era."

Chip War The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller Scribner | Scribner Paperback $30.00 list price Political Science / Geopolitics Computers / Hardware - Chips & Processors Business & Economics / International - Economics & Trade Published: Sep 16, 2025 9781982172015 "You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil - the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything - from missiles to microwaves-runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America's edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America's military superiority and economic prosperity." -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.64 * Origin: Got Mobile?
