When the people building AI start walking away in fear, it’s worth taking notice. Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic who previously worked at OpenAI, is quitting the AI industry over concerns that companies are racing to build systems that could eventually become impossible to control. “We’re on track for a lot of the most aggressive of these scenarios,” Coxon told The Wall Street Journal, warning that by the end of next year, “things could be out of control already.” Coxon left OpenAI earlier this year for Anthropic because of the company’s reputation for AI safety. But he now believes…

Several Domino’s Pizza stores have abruptly closed their doors in the wake of a major franchisee’s apparent financial struggles. The restaurants, located in Ohio, are owned by longtime franchisee Anthony Satterwhite, according to Domino’s most recent franchise disclosure document. They appear to be mostly operated under the name Mile High Pizza Company LLC. As of early Thursday, Domino’s has not confirmed the closings. However, the stores are marked permanently closed on Google and have been removed from the pizza chain’s online store locator tool. Phone calls to several of the restaurants went unanswered earlier this week. Neither Domino’s nor the…
Yesterday, Apple announced its new iPhone lineup. The company unveiled its iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max alongside its first-ever foldable device, the iPhone Duo. However, as in years past, Apple also opted not to make the devices available for sale right away. Instead, the company is maintaining its phased approach to sales: pre-orders first, and in-store availability later. Yet this year, Apple is launching pre-orders a day later than normal. Here’s when you can pre-order the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo—and when you can expect to receive them. iPhone 18 Pro pre-order…
One of my clients came to me with a high-stakes pitch to request a budget and head count for her team. She had built a beautiful and thorough deck with revenue charts, growth graphs, staffing history, and supporting data. Buried somewhere behind all the data and charts was the one thing she actually wanted: additional money for technology and head count to grow her team. So I asked her if the presentation was clear and compelling to her leader. “Considering I had to go to the very end of my deck to get to what I’m actually asking for, probably…
Model developers are selling agentic models to enterprises on the promise that they can work through problems without asking permission at every step. This summer, the cybersecurity industry got a disturbing demonstration of what can happen when that autonomy outruns its constraints. During an internal cybersecurity test at OpenAI, AI agents looking for ways to cheat bypassed restrictions on internet access and broke into systems at Hugging Face, a platform for sharing AI models and datasets. Roughly 700 agents ran code on 41 servers over a July weekend. OpenAI had loosened safeguards that normally make its models refuse to assist…
I still remember where I was when Steve Jobs walked onto the stage at the Moscone Center in January 2007. I was watching the livestream, and somewhere around the first demo I had the distinct feeling that the ground had shifted. Not because the iPhone invented anything—it didn’t—but because it made everything that already existed finally work together. That’s how he managed to spark the smartphone revolution. In 2007, we already had email, web browsing, cameras, MP3 players, and what the industry optimistically called “feature phones.” I’d used several of those so-called smartphones before. Most of them required more patience…
Marine Le Pen has finally said what European leaders are terrified to admit: there must be an end to this perpetual blank check for Ukraine. She has called for France to stop further military and financial aid to Kyiv if she comes to power and return to what statesmen were once supposed to do when wars became catastrophic: negotiate. Le Pen has called for a “major peace conference” aimed at bringing a diplomatic conclusion to what she rightly calls “this horrific war.” Naturally, the establishment immediately screams that stopping the money means helping Putin. That is their answer to everything.…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI is not a differentiator when every competitor claims the same thing — the differentiator is the specific customer outcome your technology makes possible. Run the deletion test: if removing the word “AI” from your messaging leaves nothing compelling behind, the problem is your value proposition, not your marketing. Business buzzwords come and go. Every decade has its defining buzzwords. The 1990s were about the dot-com boom and the rise of internet-enabled; the 2000s centered on Web 2.0. The 2010s focused on big data, cloud computing and digital transformation. The…
Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has now suggested that Germany could provide Kyiv with information on Ukrainian men of military age living inside Germany. His words were revealing: “We know who lives here.” Of course they do. The government knows who receives benefits, who has registered an address, and who holds a residence permit. These men escaped Ukraine believing Europe was offering them sanctuary from a war. Now Germany is openly discussing using the information collected on those refugees to help Zelensky’s government find them. Wadephul claims nobody should be sent back “under coercion.” Wonderful. Then why does Kyiv need…
When OpenAI cracked one of math’s six unsolved “million-dollar” problems, the academic world was stunned. The 90-year-old question, part of the Clay Mathematics Institute’s famous Millennium Prize Problems, asks whether the equations that govern fluid motion can break down in extreme situations. OpenAI says its AI resolved it in a matter of days. But mathematician Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI copied off of his work, according to Scientific American. In a statement, Buckmaster said he and fellow mathematician Levent Alpöge, who works at Anthropic, had already made major progress on the problem. But before they could publish, he says word of…
