I wish the NPR news broadcasters on the radio yesterday had read the "it's good marketing so maybe don't believe it" angle instead of just parroting the OpenAI press release. Getting that message out would be enormously helpful in countering the blatant submarine marketing "Oh no our AI is a super hacker" with a side of "please regulate super hacker AI and stop those pesky open weights Chinese models that are destroying our stock valuation."

maybe all the news agencies could put out daily “don’t believe everything you read from company press releases” broadcasts, because it sure ain’t specific to openai

in any case, this is just a longer rehashing of elementary grade media literacy. not really sure why it hit hacker news.

You haven't noticed how often people here on hacker news lap up LLM company press releases and practically worship them? Defend them vigorously? I think it's totally appropriate to remind everyone how to think about press releases
