Even with where we're at right now, if people involved with the HF or Ruby Gems attacks faced legal consequences, the industry would get a lot more conservative very quickly. And unlike social media, section 230 doesn't apply, and there aren't any free speech concerns.
- SpicyLemonZest 19d agoThe HF and Ruby Gems attacks came from safety testing, where the AI providers attempted to understand what negative consequences could arise if someone subverted their safety protections. Don't you worry that legal consequences would disfavor safety testing and thus create more rather than fewer problems?
- gundmc 19d agoI thought it came from RLVR with poor sandboxing and not explicitly security testing.
- sensanaty 18d agoThose attacks happened due to sheer incompetence and negligence, starting from a woefully insufficient "sandbox" and OAI employees ignoring every issue that popped up along the way. If there were actual consequences perhaps they would've not been so laissez-faire with their testing and would've done it in a properly controlled environment rather than the absolute joke of a system they set up.
- pamcake 18d agoThe initial HuggingFace post on the incident mentioned that they had reported law enforcement. Shortly after, Nvidia acquired HF for $12.9B. No such talk since. https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026 https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026 https://www.reuters.com/technology/nvidia-talks-acquire-hugging-face-13-billion-deal-business-insider-reports-2026-08-27/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/nvidia-talks-acquire-hugg...
