Like, what does this actually mean? Was OpenAI using HuggingFace to generate a ‘photograph of my future girlfriend’? Was it stealing trade secrets? Like what is the actual nature of this breech? The fact that big tech companies won’t release details makes me think it’s even more smoke and mirrors (I.e. that they are trying to cover something up, possibly their own involvement in this crap).

    Aye, there are a bunch of examples from Anthropic (here’s 3). But there are way more examples of AI being used to intentionally hack, and I wouldn’t rule out that possibility here. It’d certainly be a way for one AI lab to hack another and call it an accident. Though I’m not sure what they’d be looking to gain from an intentional Hugging Face hack other than publicity.
