Hugging Face is billing OpenAI $100M for hacking it

    As I was falling asleep last night, this thought occurred to me: maybe NVIDIA bought Hugging Face so they prevent HF from litigating OAI for the hacking incident, because if OAI was very publicly sued for this kind of behavior from an agent, it could pour a massive amount of ice water on agent adoption as businesses suddenly see current agent systems as a existential business risk, and it would pop the infrastructure bubble (of which NVIDIAs entire valuation rests). The fact that somehow OAI committed a felony and have managed to pivot the public conversation around it to be aimed at regulatory capture instead of them being held legally accountable is pretty wild.

      "Let's spend 13 billion to save 100 million".

      Yeah no, man, that's slumberland territory.

        The line of thinking is not about that $100 million bill, it’s about all the $100 million bills that come AFTER this first one.

          We must build the Torment Nexus, lest others build the Torment Merry-go-round, and the Torment Rollercoaster, and we would miss out on the Torment Tormentor Tormentober!
