Gary Marcus backs Florida's OpenAI injunction, dismisses Nvidia's agent-safety platform as PR
Gary Marcus · rss · 2026-09-29
Gary Marcus praises Florida's motion for a temporary injunction halting OpenAI's frontier AI development, agreeing with the state AG that OpenAI 'can't properly regulate its own tech' and urging every state and country to follow suit. He also comments on Nvidia's new 'AI Agent Safety' platform: an implicit admission of real risk and a positive step for handing safety to deterministic symbolic code, but he notes Nvidia software like Nemoclaw had little real impact — 'software for PR.' Andrew Ng was bullish; Marcus says it's too early to tell.
