Guardian reporting it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/22/openai-says-its-models-went-rogue-and-hacked-startup-in-unprecedented-incident

They do have a partnership with OpenAI though: https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2025/feb/14/guardian-media-group-announces-strategic-partnership-with-openai

Novara media also drinking the kool aid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnqZNnWU8Kg which is disappointing.

Novara published a gushing profile of MacAskill a while ago, so no surprises there.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
