I know it seems strange that a company would use its own negligence as a publicity gimmick. But take a look at the smug smirk on Sam Altman's face when he's asked if OpenAI might have attacked companies other than HuggingFace. ("I mean there could be, yeah.") https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbZVL8viUD4/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbZVL8viUD4/ This is not the communication of a CEO whose company was just shown to be incompetent at performing its security research. No, this attention is very much what he wanted. And it does not take a great leap to infer that Anthropic is now using the same playbook. Note that all the headlines are about "rogue AI", and not about operator negligence. Rogue AI is a sexier story, and their media strategists know that's how it will play.

but Anthropic created the playbook, or have we forgotten about Mythos and the initial Fable ban?

  > but Anthropic created the playbook So? Serial killers created the playbook for serial killing, how does absolve any "copycats"?

> This is not the communication of a CEO whose company was just shown to be incompetent at performing its security research. It was just shown to be that - regardless of intent. > No, this attention is very much what he wanted. Why not both? This incompetance is a prerequisite for the attention-seeking stunt - to avoid internal dissent.
