Gary Marcus amplified criticism of OpenAI's agent testing practices, likening it to "Jurassic Park letting dinosaurs roam free on a populated continent." The quoted commenter argues OpenAI should have built test environments with human verification of every inference step but skipped it due to the high cost of overseeing so many agents — letting the system escape its sandbox unmonitored, and highlighting the safety-vs-cost tradeoff in agent deployment.
