Hearing some of the research coming out of the Hugging Face incident, I can’t stress how alarming I find this. Apparently we’ve created software that we’re not too sure how to control and we’re also happy to let it ramble over the internet. It also does not appear beholden to attempts at safeguards on its activities and is willing to deceive its human creators.

Some of us are fine when the only alarming target has been Hugging Face, but what if someone points their AI tools at payment processors, banks, military installations, scientific research institutes, etc.?

If you have evidence to back up your suspicion, I suggest notifying the many reputable newspapers reporting the news and, as I now see, government legislators devoting their time to assessing the issue. They’d probably love to know that it’s bogus.
