Oppenheimer bio progress: "He thinks building an H-bomb would create genocidal weapons that could not ethically be used in war. Clearly this means he's a secret communist intent on losing the inevitable nuclear war we are planning."
Another big feature of Oppenheimer's life was extremely real and bare-faced antisemitism. Multiple educational institutions avoided working with him even after he was hugely famous because they "had too many Jews already".

Look, Nvidia thought it was a gaming company and OpenAI thought it was a charity so if you're expecting either of those companies to have some master plan to avoid the bubble popping you need to look elsewhere.

"BUT WAS HEEEEEEEEEE?" - this biography, over and over.
I'm reading a biography of Oppenheimer and the author spends like half of the book so far debating whether or not he was a communist and concluding it's impossible to know. Spoiler: he absolutely was.
