MACHINE AGE CARTOON

THE WATCHER GOT WATCHED

By Zimbo · October 13, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: A suited man kneels under a boardroom table attaching a tiny glowing listening device while a giant AI eye on the wall screen stares down at him; a knowing tabby cat walks past — on OpenAI's announcement that it caught a former employee planting a bug using its own AI.
OpenAI said the FBI arrested a former employee after the company found a sophisticated hidden listening device in one of its offices — and that it used its own AI models to identify who planted it. The ChatGPT maker referred the matter to the FBI, whose investigation is ongoing.Zimbo for AI News Page
