      Free batteries for flashlights and illumination in the tent! Just make sure to cover the cameras with tape or with a paint spray.

    What’s stopping these things from being vandalized? A camera? I won’t be surprised when these things start going missing.

    Is it safe to delivery food with this robot and not being robbed the food?

    Do consumers need to buy food delivery insurance?

    Looks like another fee for the customer. And a good reason for DoorDash to keep pocketing tips.

Sam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI | Equity Podcast

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s hosts point out, sloppy security seems to have been just as much to blame as the model itself. And Altman’s not alone in this stance: both OpenAI and Anthropic have come out in support of a petition echoing that same message.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into whether the industry is ready to pump the brakes or just temporarily spooked, and who’s on the hook when a model goes rogue.
