I don't understand this sentiment at all. Is it a claim that "breaking into Hugging Face's production infrastructure" didn't happen? That it's not actually all that severe? That it was done by hand by OpenAI employees and they fooled Hugging Face? That the blog post exaggerates something, somehow? What exactly do you mean? At the moment it just reads like a thoughtless dismissal.

      We can agree that he's a massive liar without seeing that as the reason behind everything OpenAI announces.

      In this scenario OpenAI would have to have Huggingface's full cooperation in the deception, right? That seems challenging to achieve.
