Theoretically, can Nvidia direct Hugging Face to sue OpenAI now for the hack? Surely they could find some interesting stuff in discovery :)

- hmokiguess 25d agoI was also theorizing that part of their acquisition was to get more intel on that, though I feel like in practice that whole thing right now is just theatre for inflating the cybersec market
- oh_no 25d agothe last thing nvidia would want is to make ai look more legally risky to say nothing of their massive investments direct and indirect in openai
- jackb4040 25d agoYep. In fact, eliminating that risk on OpenAI's behalf was probably a small factor in the acquisition
- Grombobulous 25d agoThe OpenAI web page on the Hugging Face incident is so slick that it basically confirms that the entire incident was a marketing exercise. It’s obvious that designers and other content specialists spent multiple days crafting this page. https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/ https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-...
- pantalaimon 25d agoThere was this summery about it, not sure how you'd need more intel - the technical details of the attack are ephemeral https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggingface https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggingface
- LtWorf 25d agoWhy would they sue one of their most important customers?
- deleted 25d ago[deleted]
- deaton 25d agoNot to mention that they own a 10% stake in OpenAI
- aslkalska 25d agowhy would they sue their client ?! what does that say to all their other clients ?
- BloodyIron 25d agoClients sue other business partners all the time, that doesn't mean they stop working together. There's lots of examples of this.
- mcintyre1994 25d agoI suspect there are very few examples of it when they are as entangled and invested in them as Nvidia is in OpenAI.
- aslkalska 25d agono they don't - not when the lawsuit would affect the demand for the thing they're selling
- pixl97 25d agoThere is a particular problem with this view. Yes, you learn how many lawsuits occur per year, but you are clueless on the base rate of actions that could potentially lead to lawsuits. Is it a 1:10 ration, 1:1000, 1:100000? You just don't know because companies don't tell you this information. If for example there were a magic oracle that forced every suitable action into a suit, would the entire legal system of the US instantly explode?
- acd10j 25d agoWhy would they sue OpenAI, openai is their one of biggest customer.

- senshan 25d agoOr, alternatively, they can now direct Hugging Face not to sue...
