I've given this the (awful, clickbaity) title that it's under on YouTube, but it's actually a very interesting long form interview with Karen Hao, an MIT alumnus acquainted with several OpenAI execs since university, whose recently published Empire of AI[0] offers an informed, critical look at the AI explosion in Big Tech.
The channel is a Leftist UK media outlet with a capital L and the interviewer a self-professed Marxist, but if you can ignore or fight your way through the left spin there's plenty of informative and well presented narrative details about the history of OpenAI, its ambitions and methods and those of its CEO.

Title would possibly be better as Aaron Bastani Meets Karen Hao, but there you are.

What part of that interview was unreasonalbe or a irrelevant leftist spin?
I agree, the interview was good and i cant find any overly political framing.
