  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines institutional credibility (The New York Times), platform authority (OpenAI, Hugging Face), and loaded terminology ('hack', 'explained') to imply substance where none exists; the tension lies entirely between the headline’s gravitational pull and the total absence of supporting detail — no validation is attempted, only implication.
