XJ xjdr@_xjdrHear me out ... you should take legal action but instead of asking for monetary compensation, you should ask for the GPT4 Base model weights and the latest GPT 4.5 checkpoint 'for safety'

GM Gary Marcus@GaryMarcusOpenAI really ought give @HuggingFace a $100M grant, much as @ClementDelangue is asking. And anyone who wants to understand the attack from HF’s side should read this. Great walkthrough; A+ for visualization!
