Me reading “Optimal Illusions”. The author seemed like she was on her way to blaming capitalists for optimizing for all the wrong things but then she suddenly took a hard right turn and proceeded to blame math instead of businessmen for why capitalism is out of control. Ended with a nice stroking of Sam Altman’s ego. She now lives on a tiny island in Washington where the liberal mathematicians can’t hurt her.
