Does anyone else have trouble telling how much of this news (along with the 'AI escaping and hacking' stories) is genuine, vs how much is just AI firms overstating their capabilities due to strong commercial incentives?

We hacked a company and blame the tool! Somehow it is not negligence, but cool!

We hacked 3 companies and tripple blame the tool! We are even cooler!

We hacked companies amd therefore other peoples models need to be restricted! See, us accidentally pointing a hacking tool on others proove we are the only ones that can be trusted with the tool!

Unlike the hacking one, this would be impossible to bullshit as long as the proofs are released. They can be verified independently, and the alternative is that they solved 10 major open mathematical questions without the AI, which seems less likely.
I mean once they release the proof you can check the maths yourself and I’m pretty sure it would be peer verified as well.
