“admits”

this is a PR stunt, plain and simple. they want you to think they’re holding back next-generational leaps in capabilities.

This is just a dumb marketing stunt

Ahhhhh, it just wanted to play!!

So they admitted to a federal cybercrime. Confiscate all involved servers, and arrest everyone involved. Open and shut since they already admitted doing it.

If you're responsible for any code generated by an AI, you should also be responsible for any action taken by your AI agent.

That’s the first thing I thought as well. As someone else mentioned this type of cyberattack is a felony. What are the odds that hugging face won’t press charges…

But then why would huggingface participate? Don't quite get it.

I feel the higher people are in the social hierarchy, the more they see themselves as a special case and above the law. Which I guess is at least somewhat true, going by the news.

In the same way parents ought to be responsible for their children, or pets, excepting those things are actually snetient

Do they have to participate? OpenAI found a legitimate hole - it doesn’t correlate to any ability of OpenAI.

I meant, if it was a PR stunt, one would think huggingface would have to participate. Unless they sent a hacker after Huggingface, which would be downright criminal, even for AI companies' standards.
