I agree so much with this. And am so sick of AI labs, who genuinely do have access to some really great engineers, putting stuff out that just doesn't pass the smell test. GPT-5's system card was pathetic. Big-talk of Microsoft doing red-teaming in ill-specified ways, entirely unreproducable. All the labs are "pro-research" but they again-and-again release whitepapers and pump headlines without producing the code and data alongside their claims. This just feeds into the shill-cycle of journalists doing 'research' and finding 'shocking thing AI told me today' and somehow being immune to the normal expectations of burden-of-proof.
Microsoft’s quantum lab also made ridiculous claims this year, with no updates or retractions after they were mocked by the community and some even claimed fraud

Since these were earlier this year in March, they’re just memory holing it?
Tech companies simply don’t feel it is fraud. They feel it is “marketing fiction”
"I had Elizabeth Holmes explain to me three times what she got arrested for because it sounds an awful lot like what I do here every day."
They're gonna say that if they explain how it was done bad people will find out how to use their models for more evil deeds. The perfect excuse.
They can still provide indicators of compromise
What ARE the indicators of compromise?
It's not a piece of malware or an exploit. It's an AI hacker. It does the same things a human hacker would but faster.
So that is a bad excuse?
Yes.
