Like, what does this actually mean? Was OpenAI using HuggingFace to generate a ‘photograph of my future girlfriend’? Was it stealing trade secrets? Like what is the actual nature of this breech? The fact that big tech companies won’t release details makes me think it’s even more smoke and mirrors (I.e. that they are trying to cover something up, possibly their own involvement in this crap).

    But I’d be surprised if Hugging Face and OpenAI were working together on obfuscation here.

    I’m not sure why that would be surprising. Hugging Face has partnered with several AI companies including Open AI. Everyone involved has a vested interest in making llm based ‘AI’ seem more capable than it is.

      I suppose I think of them as competitors, but you’re right of course. Just talking through it makes kayfabe seem more likely.
