Grace: This headline is extremely funny given what happened (OpenAI hacked HF by accident) openai.com/index/huggin...
Grace: Maybe the most concerning part is the OpenAI claim to not have known about this before investigating?

Pwnallthethings: This is going to be a big deal, but easy to get the wrong end of the stick on it. So I think it's worth breaking down what actually happened, why, and what it actually means, based on the public in…
Pwnallthethings: Upfront tl;dr: a model at OAI hacked out of a constrained environment inside OAI and hacked a *different* company autonomously, without authorization from any human in order to creatively solve a t…

Stella Biderman: If you believe their story, OpenAI accidentally committed cyber warfare against Hugging Face while doing what they thought was an internal test of a model without internet access. In six months tim…
Stella Biderman: If EleutherAI did this, I would be in jail. If DeepSeek did this, the government would consider it an act of cyber warfare. To be clear, this is the appropriate response. But the combination of OAI…

Colin: It seems like there are a number of discoveries, like solutions to quasi-famous (but not too famous) open problems in math and 0day security vulnerabilities, that are low-hanging fruit in the sense…
Colin: I used to be skeptical of the billion-phds-in-a-data-center idea, and I still am, on the grounds that it’s not really a billion phds, it’s a billion identical copies of the same phd, who’s going to…

Timnit Gebru: You gotta hand it to OpenAI, billing this as a *partnership* between OpenAI & Hugging Face when what actually happened was Hugging Face finding out that OpenAI was using a bunch of bots to exploit …
Timnit Gebru: Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in marketing. Lol and branding what happened as Ope…

Casey Fiesler: A common Q I get on social media is: how do I get into tech/AI ethics as a field/for a job? I would love some help with this! What is some helpful advice here that (a) is not about academia or even…
Casey Fiesler: What kinds of jobs would you point folks to after that?
