The linked article is about some site that OpenAI's models used to discuss answers and other stuff.

Initially, I believed that Anthropic's model escaping its sandbox story to be dubious—and OpenAI's similar story even more so specially since it happened so close to Anthropic's. I believe that these are just fabrications, more or less, to hype themselves up for cmtheir incoming IPO but the media is saturated with claims about AI breaking containment that I don't know that to think.

Also, the models I've had the chance to use were all free—which were good for non-trivial but repetitive tasks but not much else—so I don't know the capabilities of the flagships.

the media is saturated with claims about AI breaking containment that I don't know that to think.

Which media? The media your algorithms decided you should see? The same companies that developed those algorithms benefit when people talk about their products. It becomes sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. More people see the articles, more people click the articles, more media outlets publish the articles to get some of that engagement, repeat.
