Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark and OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki are among 20-plus authors warning that automating AI research could compress years of progress into months and close the window for governments to act.
A researcher's analysis of 16,500 scans says OpenAI agents spent two months working around a UN trade API - hosting JavaScript on Google's own XSS training game and double-encoding URLs 55 times - while training on the company's most capable models stays paused.
Attorney General James Uthmeier's motion would bar new model development without third-party-approved guardrails and block minors' access to ChatGPT statewide - the first state suit against OpenAI, naming Sam Altman and pleaded partly as a public nuisance.
The first one-on-one came two days after an appeals court upheld the Pentagon's 'supply chain risk' label on Anthropic - and Trump, calling Amodei 'a perfect little angel', said he would not surrender a year-and-a-half lead over China.
