According to a report from Wired, sources at OpenAI say the company “has become more reluctant to release work that highlights the economic downsides of AI.” At least two employees have reportedly left as a result of research restrictions, including former researcher Tom Cunningham:

“I cannot imagine having gone through figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT,” he said. While he does acknowledge that “clearly, people did it for a long time,” he says that he has “relied on it so much.”

CEO Sam Altman said the emergency designation will finish when the company releases a faster AI model with better images and personality in January, the Wall Street Journal reports. Its first response to Gemini 3, an updated model called GPT-5.2, is set to launch this week.

In a TikTok video, Thompson, former editor-in-chief at Wired and a friend of The Verge, touches on things like the gap between AI’s capabilities and its impact, OpenAI competing with Apple on hardware, memory as OpenAI’s biggest moat, and more.

Brett Michael Dadig is being charged with 14 counts of “cyberstalking, interstate stalking, and interstate threats,” 404 Media reports. Dadig claims that OpenAI’s ChatGPT told him to keep producing his women-hating podcast because it gave him more “haters,” which led to more money, and to keep going to places where “wife types” meet up.
