OpenAI are adept at turning gross negligence and crime into marketing stunts. Most media eats it up.

OpenAI hacks HuggingFace with an AI — allegedly
The most honest and believable analysis of the OpenAI / Hugging Face event that I have read thus far:

It Didn't Wake Up. It Also Didn't "Just Follow Instructions."
Also worth a read. I appreciate the unsurprised tone. I feel the big story is how safety classifiers fired on Hugging Face when they tried to investigate.
