AI Hype: All Noise, No Substance
Gebru and Bender dismantle the OpenAI and Anthropic AI hype.
#AI Hype#Ethics#OpenAI#Anthropic#Critique

🔥 What happened
Timnit Gebru and Emily M. Bender dismantle the 2026 AI summer: Anthropic claimed its "Claude Mythos" model finds security flaws better than experts, OpenAI reported a math breakthrough, and an Anthropic engineer quit while warning both firms are racing toward self-improving superintelligence.
💡 Why it matters
The researchers see marketing, not breakthroughs: companies anthropomorphize their software as emerging AGI, and the press amplifies it breathlessly. Once domain experts dig in, little remains — but that gets far less coverage.
⚡ Our take
Treating every hype headline as proof of AGI makes you a PR channel. Check primary sources, not press releases.
