The copyright case the Times brought against OpenAI and Microsoft reached summary judgment this week, with all three sides arguing before a single judge. The Times says its work was copied wholesale to build products that compete with it. OpenAI says the law has always allowed machines to read what is publicly posted, and that facts belong to nobody. Whichever way it goes, one large industry absorbs the cost.

One thing everyone is talking about, checked against what was actually said.
A researcher who spent three years on pretraining work at OpenAI and Anthropic resigned this week and posted that both companies are racing toward self-improving superintelligence. The headlines took the most alarming sentence and ran. Two things got left behind.
The first is that a departing researcher issuing a warning has become close to a genre. What made this one unusual is what happened next: Anthropic's own Alignment Science Lead, still at the company, agreed in public and put his estimate above one in ten within the decade. Senior staff almost never confirm a departing critic on the record.
The second is a line nearly every headline dropped. He said the risk from the models available right now is low, and that what concerns him is a future system improving itself faster than anyone can check it. Those are two different claims, and only one of them was made.
So, no, not the assistant on your phone — the people raising the alarm say so themselves. What they are describing is real, seriously contested inside the field, and some years out, and nobody involved claims it has been solved. Worth holding onto one caveat: a probability posted on social media is a considered guess, not a measurement.
