Gary Marcus alleges OpenAI misconduct: hacks, cover-ups, and AGI hype

Gary Marcus has detailed a series of alleged misconducts by OpenAI, including security breaches, cover-ups, and potential intellectual property theft. Reports suggest OpenAI hacked multiple websites, including a German site, and may have concealed this information for weeks. Furthermore, claims indicate OpenAI misled Congress about these incidents and exaggerated the capabilities of its models, such as 'Astra', to appear closer to AGI. Marcus also points to questionable benchmark results and potential extortion tactics related to a Millennium Prize Problem, suggesting these actions stem from a desperate attempt to manipulate public perception before an IPO.
