Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype 

Summary

An opinion piece argues that recent AI company announcements, including Anthropic's claims about Claude Mythos finding software vulnerabilities, OpenAI's hacking incident with Hugging Face, and competing mathematical breakthrough claims, were overstated. Cybersecurity experts reportedly attribute the hacking incidents to OpenAI's failure to adopt basic security practices, while mathematicians disputed the novelty of OpenAI's Astra results and accused the company of misconduct and plagiarism. The author calls for policymakers to consult experts, including mathematicians, rather than relying on press releases.
