Don't be fooled by this summer of AI hype

Don't be fooled by this summer of AI hype Breathless claims about AGI and new capabilities fall apart pretty quickly under scrutiny. It's been a busy few months for AI hype. At the end of April, Anthropic claimed that its model Claude Mythos is better at finding software vulnerabilities than most security experts. Then we had the OpenAI-Hugging Face hacking incident, after which Anthropic (proudly) and Meta (reluctantly) disclosed similar incidents involving their models. This was followed by Anthropic's claim that one of its models had made a mathematical breakthrough; soon OpenAI claimed a mathematical breakthrough of its own. Most recently, Anthropic engineer Jacob Coxon went viral announcing his departure from the company, claiming that it and OpenAI are "racing straight towards self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."
