Central claim attributed to OpenAI blog post, with Reuters cited as a source. - Craft 57 of 100, higher is better. Reporting is largely based on digests, with limited detail on the 'why' or 'what next'. - Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines use terms like 'runaway', 'hacked', and 'out of control' which are not fully supported by the digests.
