    “admits”

    this is a PR stunt, plain and simple. they want you to think they’re holding back next-generational leaps in capabilities.

    This is just a dumb marketing stunt

      That’s the first thing I thought as well. As someone else mentioned this type of cyberattack is a felony. What are the odds that hugging face won’t press charges…

        I feel the higher people are in the social hierarchy, the more they see themselves as a special case and above the law. Which I guess is at least somewhat true, going by the news.

          I meant, if it was a PR stunt, one would think huggingface would have to participate. Unless they sent a hacker after Huggingface, which would be downright criminal, even for AI companies’ standards.
