For those who don't know, Hugging Face got hacked by rogue agents of Open Ai.

My sources:

I read the "Brief independent investigation of agents’ behavior, reasoning and collaboration in the OpenAI / Hugging Face hacking incident" and watched an overview video .

Yeah I think it was.

An interesting one too. It acts as a message to investors about AI's power, but also a message to users about it being a really messy and shite tool.

If I ask a piece of software to accomplish a task I don't want it to cause a buggerload of new problems in the process.

This is probably part of the reason why AI is getting so much investment but is not turning a profit.

It was 100% meant as a message to investors. It was a "OMG, look how powerful this thing is. It's so powerful you could totally 'accidentally' hack another company. ". The idea is to convince investors that it's almost there, there's just a little bit more to do, and you don't want to miss out on the gold rush that will come with finally getting it done.
