Why Sam Altman takes his hardest questions to Nikesh Arora

Fortune 35

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora is portrayed as the mentor Sam Altman goes to for direct, actionable advice. Altman says it can be hard to get that kind of advice from most people, who may be busy or unwilling to spend enough time.

The Cyber Risk Discourse is Broken

Interconnects 1 week ago 28

The author argues that U.S. and Western debates over the cyber risk of open-weight AI models are missing key context and could drive policy that both harms American AI competitiveness and increases long-term cyber risk. The central claim points to the “GLM-5.3” report by Anthropic on offensive cyber risks as an example of insufficient cross-cutting engagement, and cites evidence tied to a HuggingFace–OpenAI incident. The proposed change is to shift the discussion toward trade-offs and ecosystem-level questions—such as whether banning open weights also requires restricting frontier closed-model API access—and to demand clearer safety testing minimums rather than categorical bans.
