What the coverage shows
Both outlets centre Sam Altman’s argument that AI’s benefits outweigh some expected harms, and both mention hacks and scams as examples of those harms. The framing differs slightly: The Verge makes the “totally worth it” line the headline emphasis, while The Guardian US foregrounds his call for a “regulatory light touch” and says it is because of the “good stuff” AI can deliver.
