Makes sense why OpenAIs little "hacking" stunt was published last week
- reasonableklout 2mo agoHuh? The hacking incident played out in favor of open models, since HuggingFace could only use GLM to defend and not Fable/5.6.
- jbs789 2mo agoAmong most people that nuance will be lost. What they’ll hear is models are dangerous, so they should be controlled/regulated, by those who know best, the incumbents.
- BLKNSLVR 2mo agoPersonally, I think you're both right, bit whatever the end result is will depend entirely on the narrative that those in power chooses as the winner. Maybe open weights models get banned, but the between-the-lines good news about that is that they'll still be available to those who know, which also means that bad banning can be overturned if and when 'those in power' are a different group. Additionally, it might just mean that the US falls behind, bit I doubt those that are at risk of 'falling behind' would actually pay heed to a ban on the open weights models (privately at least).
- reasonableklout 2mo agoOk but the allegation is that OpenAI intentionally hacked HuggingFace as a marketing ploy. This is mental gymnastics, conspiratorial thinking that everything the incumbents say must be nefarious. And it's not clear to me that this will be the takeaway for ordinary people, as opposed to "OpenAI is reckless and can't even control their own AI."
- UncleOxidant 2mo agoNot as a marketing ploy. I think they were doing gain-of-function testing and intentionally had their model target HF to do a bit of pen-testing as well - HF being the site where all open models are hosted and thus OpenAI's largest nemesis after Anthropic. It wasn't like their model all of the sudden all by itself decided to do this ("Oh, noes!")- they directed it and they got caught.
- valleyer 2mo agoYour use of the term "gain-of-function" here reveals your base level of conspiracy-theory-mindedness.
- taneq 2mo ago“Open models are a threat to the DoD’s ability to leverage Fable for cybersecurity.”
- api 2mo ago… this week, until it’s obsolete.
- bigyabai 2mo agoThe quid-pro-quo that the federal government and frontier labs operate on is comically obvious.
- scoofy 2mo agoAnd we just elected the most openly corrupt president since Teapot Dome.
- nothercastle 2mo agoThat makes sense, first the message was that uncontrollable Chinese ai will release AI covid in the world. Then suddenly open-ai does a warmup in actuality doing that. Like it sure feels like that hacking stunt was a false flag in retrospect
- api 2mo agoMeanwhile all they accomplish is to slow down US tech and hand it to China.
- scarmig 2mo agoThe entire "OpenAI and HuggingFace manufactured a hack in a conspiracy to make AI look powerful to get more funding" is a stupid, Reddit-tier take.
- troyvit 2mo agoI'm inclined to agree but at this point, considering the low trust OenAI has engendered, yow statement deserves a "why"
- Banditoz 2mo agoIs something you disagree with a "Reddit-tier take"?
- scarmig 2mo agoA throwaway line that consists of baseless speculation that makes no sense is a Reddit-tier take, yes.
- wonnage 2mo agoMe when I construct my own strawman to avoid the topic Nowhere in GP comment was funding even mentioned
- wonnage 2mo agoBut of course they’re excused for this little boo-boo whereas if kimi were caught doing the same thing it’d be an international incident
