Are they? What legal consequences have they suffered?
- fragmede 16d agoThe binding legal contractual consequence known coloquially as "additional investment".
- qarl 16d agoWhatever may or may not be happening with law enforcement - no one is confused about the liability. It's no different than when a company's machine cuts off a worker's finger. No one thinks "Gosh! The machine did it, not us."
- pdonis 16d agoIf they're not being held legally liable, then I would not agree that "no one is confused about the liability". Sure, I agree with your analogy with a machine cutting off a finger, but you and I are just two people gabbing on HN. Nothing we say has any effect on OpenAI. And if law enforcement doesn't have an effect on them, then talk about "liability" is just empty words.
- qarl 16d agoWell... if that's true, and I don't know that it is, it's not because of the agents. It's because of the money. People with money get away with crimes all the time and it has nothing to do with agents.
- qarl 10d agoTo touch base - I believe OpenAI has agreed to settle with them for $100M. Or a partnership worth $100M. Or something so that Hugging Face won't go after them.
- ascorbic 16d agoIf any of the orgs that were hacked decided to sue OpenAI they'd probably have a good chance of winning. It's just that none of them has.
