Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in branding and marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

Like I would have thought someone would go to prison or something but no, its been redirected to "model capabilities" and the press is talking about "rogue" models and such, not what OpenAI just did.

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social Isn't it interesting that Hugging Face is one of their partners 🤔🧐

Yeah like... HuggingFace: OpenAI is using a bunch of bots to exploit security vulnerabilities. OpenAI: Hey HuggingFace could we have a quick little private chat? ... HuggingFace: Our new partnership with OpenAI will struggle to contain its amazing AI that totally did that, and not anyone at the company deliberately breaking the law.
