The article claims that AI companies have run stunts like this since day 1.

It does not claim that capabilities are not real.

Then exactly what's the point of the Guardian article?

What should be the focus is whether the capabilities are real; whether companies or anyone else benefit from it is quite secondary. Of course they will! Who wouldn't love a nice story that paints their products in the most glowing light ( which is the actual reality)?

    No, we have benchmarks for (pseudo-)objective measurements of capabilities. We have flashy news stories on repeat for marketing.

    The point is that they are separate things. If you start mixing them up, analysis becomes more biased and less objective.

    EDIT: And do not mistake this for transparency of ClosedAI either. Their incident report was so generic that no one serious can learn much from it anyway except that “a zeroday” was allegedly used. Very helpful…
