The White House and people at the top of the Pentagon seem to treat it as magic, whereas those who are actually building it realize that it hallucinates, it makes mistakes, stupid errors of reasoning. And if you put that into production, into practice, in the military, particularly in autonomous weapons kind of situations, then you can have accidents.

AI Unverifiable I found a near-match reliably attributed to Gary Marcus in a Feb. 28, 2026 NewsNation/Yahoo report: it starts, “And the White House and people at the top of the Pentagon...” and otherwise matches the passage. However, the exact wording you supplied omits that initial “And,” and the Cybernews page you cited does not contain the full quote; it instead includes a different Marcus quotation drawn from his Bulletin essay. So I can confirm the attribution and a very close variant, but not your submitted text as exact verbatim.
