I think the skepticism surrounding the Hugging Face attack is not about whether the attack actually happened, but whether it was truly accidental.

I see. Following your conjecture, there are two possibilities:

1. It wasn't an accident. OpenAI explicitly directed its agents to hack Hugging Face. Despite the fact that such a thing is a federal crime that carries prison sentence.

2. It wasn't an accident. OpenAI and HuggingFace conspired and let the hack happen for publicity.

Is there anything I'm leaving out?
