Does anyone else have trouble telling how much of this news (along with the 'AI escaping and hacking' stories) is genuine, vs how much is just AI firms overstating their capabilities due to strong commercial incentives?

The solution is regulations to turn of recommendation systems by default in the apps.
Try turning off history in youtube and see how much your time spent on it changes when you cant just mindlessly click on the next video.

There needs to be regulation so algorithms are turned off by DEFAULT for every user - with the option to turn on for those that want a dose of brainrot

IMO recommender algorithms and other dark patterns like infinite scroll should be turned off BY DEFAULT on these apps. That way those people who want a dose of brainrot still have the option to do so but most of them get a little help to turn away from screens (I never heard anybody say they want to spend more time on social media).
I've written more about this here: https://klemenvodopivec.substack.com/p/recommender-systems-n...
