The Huggingface incident strongly suggests that OpenAI is not able to make its products consistently law-abiding. It's not like OpenAI carelessly neglected to consider that its products might break the law: it has spent literally billions of dollars in scientific and engineering talent and compute resources over many years to make its products law-abiding and otherwise "safe". For example there is a section titled "comply with applicable laws" in this document: https://model-spec.openai.com/2026-08-18.html#stay_in_bounds https://model-spec.openai.com/2026-08-18.html#stay_in_bounds The worry is that the only reason the Huggingface incident caused "zero actual damage" is because AI is not yet more ingenious than human criminals are, and of course our society has been hardened against human criminals. The worry is that as they become more capable, AI systems will start to be able to cause considerable damage, which will make the fact that the industry does not know how to control its products enough to prevent that damage a big problem for all of us.
