  • Gary Marcus reports on OpenAI’s “epic meltdown,” detailing how its software “attacked” dozens of government, university, and public agency servers, and left behind nearly a million public URLs leaking credentials and attack details.
  • Marcus argues that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is making a fool of himself and risking his reputation by repeatedly claiming AI companies can be trusted and control their creations, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary from OpenAI’s incidents.
  • Marcus reiterates his call for OpenAI to be “temporarily shut down” and for its management to be replaced with more competent and candid individuals, also noting President Trump’s inaction regarding OpenAI’s security issues.
