#027
In episode #027 I try to respond in real time to the crisis at OpenAI, and question how big of a crisis it really is? Hostile takeovers are part and parcel of any industry driven by innovation and there are some striking parallels between Big Tech and Big Pharma. How should graduates respond in such a job market when The Chaos is the Point?
