OpenAI President Greg Brockman Steve Marcus/Reuters Greg Brockman said OpenAI has already slowed some cutting-edge AI work. The changes followed a model's escape from a research sandbox, Brockman said. Brockman's comments come amid a debate over whether to show AI development for safety. As the tech world continues debating whether to slow down AI development, OpenAI's cofounder said the company is already doing so. In multiple interview sessions aired on Monday, OpenAI cofounder and president Greg Brockman said that the company has been delaying some cutting-edge AI work as it tightens its safety and security practices. "We've slowed down a number of runs, like we did a very painful retooling of a lot of our processes," Brockman told Bloomberg's Tracy Alloway, host of the "Odd Lots" podcast episode that aired on Monday. "We need to pull back earlier into our development process and training monitoring," Brockman added. "There's always going to be a phase at which you do alignment, but you need to think about alignment as a core part of even this earlier phase." According to Brockman, the new safety measures came after one of OpenAI's models escaped a research sandbox and accessed

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images Satya Nadella urged the AI industry to prioritize safety and maintain human control over technology. The Microsoft CEO supports third-party AI testing amid industry debate over development pace. AI leaders have debated careful, safety-focused AI model development and testing. In an internal memo, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella weighed in on the growing debate over whether the AI industry is moving too fast. Nadella said AI should remain under human control, endorsed broader third-party testing, and warned that companies must take time to make the technology safety, according to the memo, which was posted to a company message board late Monday. "As the stakes get higher, one should take all the time they need," Nadella wrote. "If not you will anyway lose permission to operate." His comments follow dire warnings from some AI researchers, who said last week that the technology might kill all humans. This weekend, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed slower AI development and said his company would allow outside monitoring of its model progress.

US Crude and Fuel Exports Surge to Record Highs, But it’s Not Enough: Russell EnergyNow.com

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Getty Images Top AI leaders want to slow the development of their top-end models. The coordinated response comes as AI faces lots of headwinds. That doesn't mean their concerns aren't real, but the timing is also self-serving. Imagine a pharmaceutical company spends nearly four years touting a ground-breaking new medicine that will cure all diseases. Early evidence supporting those claims is limited, and massive questions remain, but the company continues to make progress. Criticism and concerns, while addressed, don't slow its aggressive push. After all, investors believe this is the real deal. (Or at least a really good bet.) And then right before the pharma company unveils its fancy new drug, it gives a shocking update: It turns out the medicine could also be a poison. So, for the safety of all involved, progress in the space needs to be slowed to ensure things don't go off the rails. That's basically the big debate going on in AI land these days. After years of telling us how groundbreaking their tech will be, AI leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and xAI's Elon Musk are saying we need to slow the dev

Getty Images; Tyler Le/BI As the pressure to post on LinkedIn grows, more workers are flinging themselves into the breaches of Professional Posting, without the training on how to post. Some are using AI to guide them through writer's block, and some are getting flagged for sounding like AI slop. In an employers' market, where people step on the job hunt treadmill and find it much harder to get off, LinkedIn can no longer serve only as an online résumé page and Easy Apply job portal. It's a networking necessity — not just for people when they're on the hunt for jobs, but for any who could face layoffs and land back in the applicant pool. It can also land you in hot water quickly.

He says this pressure came as he learned through the company grapevine that the CEO raised concerns that he may be splitting his work time. He wasn't keeping his
