XL xlr8harder@xlr8harderlikely outcome: openai will release a postmortem on the hf hack and it will still be open to quite a bit of interpretation based on one's priors and so will resolve little while injecting a lot of energy into things

CT Cowboy Of All Trades@CowboyOfPoGo@OpenAI @huggingface Maybe don’t reduce you safety budget like you recently did. Maybe prioritize security. horrendous, people left your lab based on “ethics surrounding safety”. You proceeded with budget cuts and now you’re traumatizing people who were already afraid of ai. 👏…
PE Perfidy@sicamber@OpenAI @huggingface You are a bunch of feckless, arrogant assholes. Your hubris will be the demise of all of us. Do you worry about angry mobs with pitchforks?
JG Just Some Guy@J_S_Vance@OpenAI @huggingface You are incompetent and reckless, and your product is destructive and unpredictable. I hope this helps with your review.
