As marketing stunts go, this is about on par with a food franchise announcing a safety recall or a chemical company announcing a spill. The AI actions described would constitute a felony if a human did them, and police are involved.
Confused as to what the point of calling the police would be here. I wouldn't expect OpenAI to turn themselves in for hacking HuggingFace.
More like an Israeli arms manufacturer test-bombing a Gazan primary school. They know their audience.
Not really, because the capabilities this announcement advertises is exactly three capability some people want to defend against (and others want).
It might be more on par with a for-profit fire department showing how -- oops! -- easily buildings catch on fire these days.
