I'd have to know a lot more before I'd call for conviction, but it's not surprising if arrest was warranted (ha ha ha) because she wasn't researching a book or whatever. It's pretty hard to be non-suspicious about something like that.

I'm not saying stupidity is a crime here, I'm saying it's concerning coupled with the potential threat.

It's especially irritating considering that [IMO obvs] AmiMojo is right and improving Firefox would be a better use of these tokens, so if the guy is being irritating around a Firefox fork, then it's extra ironic — and therefore extra-stupid.

I am not against all AI use, but I do see serious copyright problems, and I also see serious quality problems. I think you need serious chops to address the latter, and who knows where the chips will fall with the former?

Ranting at the computer is not the same as making threats.

If it could reasonably be construed as a threat, then it has to be investigated as a threat to be responsible. Is this a reason why some people might want to run models locally? Yes, and it's a good thing you can do that with any decent game machine, or with many other relatively inexpensive computers. But you can't just run a service and monitor it and then ignore what people are using it for, that's not a thing. If people are going to consume SaaS then they need to be aware that the owners of the platform are going to spend some effort attempting not to be accessories to any crimes.

I should add, it is kind of funny in a morbid way watching right wingers who have been voting to undermine democracy for 50 years in order to stick it to the libs finding out that you can't undermine democracy just for the libs.

I have watched several videos of local county level Town officials being screamed at by their constituents because they approved the data center. And they just let it wash over them because they know when election time comes it's going to be a choice between them and a Democrat and there is no way in hell those people are going to vote for a fucking Democrat.

The bigger problem is that OpenAI didn't actually log what the agents did so we only know this because the victims spoke up. It wasn't just Hugging Face, but various oldschool wikis in Germany, The University of Toronto and others who were accessed.

I don't know how they sandboxed the AIs but it didn't seem to do a good job if it iddn't log what sites it was using and Hugging Face was the one who detected the hack.

The fact is that she was arrested for making credible threats in the context of a managed and monitored service, proving that she is an idiot at best, and therefore potentially stupid enough to follow through on such a threat. This is what responsibility looks like all around, which is the only reason it's news.

The difference is that when someone points a cellphone lens at you, you know they are recording you, and that the best response is to silently turn around and walk away. Surreptitious recording is done without consent or the victim's knowledge. That being said, it might be a good idea to record consent before sex, and for girls at frat parties to wear smart glasses to prove there was no consent.
