AI critic Gary Marcus shared a link with the line, "Wanna know what Sam really cares about? Hint: it's not safety" — a pointed jab at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman implying his actions diverge from his safety commitments. The post offers no argument of its own, but continues the long-running Marcus-vs-Altman feud between two industry-notable figures.
