Gary Marcus quote-tweets Greg Brockman's plug for an OpenAI essay claiming 'we're in the AGI era.' Theretweeted author argues we are not: companies create security problems by failing to sandbox environments and by not monitoring, observing, or measuring agentic workflow performance. Taking advice from the company 'negligently committing the most cybercrimes' is misguided until there's a track record of deliberate observability — until then it's FUD and distraction.
