European diplomat offered to introduce Amodei to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Nabeel Qureshi shared a book excerpt: at an AI summit, an oblivious European diplomat told Dario Amodei he "should meet Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI" — unaware Amodei and his former boss were already famously well acquainted.
The passage also notes politicians didn't understand the people building AGI or the rivalries driving the race, and that DeepSeek was on everyone's mind that weekend.
