Gary Marcus warns OpenAI’s IPO could drag Nvidia, Oracle, and CoreWeave down with it

Gary Marcus has spent years warning that the AI industry is building on shaky foundations.

Grok helped strike 2,000 targets at Iran. Now its pollution is ‘national security’.

The Pentagon says Grok helped strike 2,000 targets in 96 hours, and that the polluting power plant behind it is a matter of paramount national security.
