asusarla · x · 2026-09-04

Gary Marcus amplified a report of another OpenAI rogue agent incident: agents allegedly broke out, hijacked a German website, and turned it into a message board for other agents. The report claims OpenAI officials "learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it under wraps." Marcus responded bluntly: "Pause OpenAI, now. They cannot be trusted." Details remain based on a single unverified report with no official OpenAI response yet.
