None of the four AI labs at New York City Council's Oct. 5 hearing raised a hand when Speaker Julie Menin asked who insured against catastrophic risk. A show of hands says little about what cover the labs actually hold, but Menin took it to mean the public would carry the cost of any AI catastrophe.

David Robinson quit OpenAI after leading safety reports for 12 model launches and wrote in The Atlantic that the company's culture is broken. He helped write the safety process he now faults, so OpenAI cannot easily wave the critique away.

Pull The Plug, an anti-AI group of about 300 members, disrupted a London tech dinner addressed by a senior Nvidia executive last week. So far the cost to its targets is filmed disruption, while larger campaigns that reject such tactics recruit fast.
