GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-05
Gary Marcus echoed Rutger Bregman's charge that the so-called Hugging Face incident is likely just the tip of the iceberg — that OpenAI has lost control and is hiding important facts from the public. Marcus says this is exactly why he called for a pause on OpenAI in his newsletter, with Bregman asking how much more remains unknown. Criticism over OpenAI's transparency and safety is mounting.
