AI Has A Language Problem | A Reflection on Empire of AI by Karen Hao
I recently read Empire of AI by Karen Hao. The book is a recount of the beginnings of OpenAI, Sam Altman and how he’s been able to keep himself at the top of the AI industry. She covers the legal set up of the organization, the drama between Sam and Elon Musk, Sam’s relationship with his family, particularly with his sister, the exploitation of both natural and human resources in developing countries. The overall consensus of the book is how OpenAI became an organization with an unlimited amount of...

Bio
I was born and raised in New York City and lived there until 2018, when I moved to Medellín. Both my parents are Colombian, so I’ve always existed between two cultures—that mix shaped how I see and interact with the world.
I started Colombian Jukebox in 2021 as a music project, but it’s grown with me. Now it’s a space where I write and talk about the things that make me stop, think, or raise an eyebrow. I also have a playlist that I like to update every once in a while.
My main job — and what actually pays the bills — is leading cultural walks in the city’s creative district. I do them in New York City too. I enjoy them because I’m naturally curious, and I like seeing what other people are curious about too. I also love telling stories and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
Thank you for stopping by!
