Such claims cannot be trusted as long as these news drive the heat score and hype of the companies, because these will always be inherently subjective, even unconsciously to what they want to believe. Is it real or is it LARP

is all marketing just LARP

Increasingly more of it, as we become more saturated with information. Image-maxxing is probably a more modern term.
Pretending that the thing you want to be true is true so people who don't have the attention bandwidth assume it's true. Similar to a foam sword I guess.

as always lesswrong posters continue to be lost in the sauce

Since I discovered and started reading Lesswrong a couple years ago, I keep seeing dismissive or sneering comments across the (technical) internet, usually with very little substance - like this one (what does it even mean? I find the article rather reasonable and on point). I know that yudkowski's more recent stance is controversial (I haven't started reading his work on how AGI will kill us all so I'm suspending judgement ), but is there a valid reason for the widespread smugness or is it just a bandwagon effect?

We really do live in the post-truth age.

Why do OpenAI never release logs to prove their claims? Why should we believe them when they write extraordinary anecdotes about the power of their products without ever providing proof?

Because buyer ignorance is very, very useful when you care only about selling. See also: used cars market, Tesla FSD, etc.

This is all just manufactured hype and lies (oh wait, marketing speak).
The more humans are afraid of losing their jobs, the more management sees it as a signal to make them lose their jobs. And the techbros plans of lying and deceit work.
While, actually learning how these things work is effectively verboten. The LLMs lose their mysticism and turn into the tools they really are. But the techbros can't have that happening.
