The title (currently "OpenAI's accidental cyberattack against Hugging Face is science fiction") suggests some information had been hidden that makes the incident less significant than claimed. The article argues the opposite, and the last two words of the full title are "that happened."

Looks like it's been edited now and makes more sense "OpenAI’s accidental cyberattack against Hugging Face is science fiction that happened"

  I've edited it now but had to de-cyber cyberattack because the limit is 80 chars.

    Thanks to dang for restoring the few missing words that separate a factual title from a promotional ambush

      My eyes rolled almost out of my skull when this current stunt first got published, as I’m sure yours and a lot of other people’s did, but it did still happen as far as we know, and HN shouldn’t be editorialising a post title to say the opposite of the linked headline.

      Naw I emailed him b/c I was displeased to feel clickbaited by I initially thought Simon until I realized HN was missing two key words. I was still suspicious of the stolen credential claim btw & obviously it makes little sense to promote OpenAI unless holding their stock or something (since they borrowed so much of humanity’s work without permission without intent to compensate, and why help people who aren’t nice enough to be holistically awesome with their admittedly impressive tech).

I think you were reading "... is science fiction" the wrong way out of two possible interpretations. I don't think "it's science fiction" meant "it's made up". I think it meant "it sounds like something you'd read in science fiction (except this time it's something that actually happened)".

  It's a large plot point in one of the Bobiverse books.
