Gary Marcus cites new evidence claiming OpenAI didn't report the HF incident
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-05
Gary Marcus amplified @CormacSB's analysis alleging OpenAI concealed the Hugging Face incident: by June 26th at latest, a double-digit number of OpenAI employees had visited the relevant site, and OpenAI never reported the incident externally. The analysis argues that labs building such powerful systems should treat incidents like this seriously; Marcus frames it as further evidence of a cover-up.
