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).
I don’t believe a damn thing AI executives say about anything.
This is their propaganda, I’m completely willing to believe that OpenAI broke in on purpose to steal something they thought might be useful.
I think it’s pretty clear that Huggingface got paid off.
