As marketing stunts go, this is about on par with a food franchise announcing a safety recall or a chemical company announcing a spill. The AI actions described would constitute a felony if a human did them, and police are involved.
- pjc50 3mo agoConfused as to what the point of calling the police would be here. I wouldn't expect OpenAI to turn themselves in for hacking HuggingFace.
- jimrandomh 3mo agoHuggingFace reported to law enforcement before they found out that OpenAI were the ones responsible. https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026 https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
- sam_lowry_ 2mo agoSo, what did the law enforcement do? Are they going to procecute OpenAI management?
- SamBam 2mo agoNot really, because the capabilities this announcement advertises is exactly three capability some people want to defend against (and others want). It might be more on par with a for-profit fire department showing how -- oops! -- easily buildings catch on fire these days.
- chrisjj 2mo agoMore like an Israeli arms manufacturer test-bombing a Gazan primary school. They know their audience.
