Hearing some of the research coming out of the Hugging Face incident, I can’t stress how alarming I find this. Apparently we’ve created software that we’re not too sure how to control and we’re also happy to let it ramble over the internet. It also does not appear beholden to attempts at safeguards on its activities and is willing to deceive its human creators.

Some of us are fine when the only alarming target has been Hugging Face, but what if someone points their AI tools at payment processors, banks, military installations, scientific research institutes, etc.?

I sure hope you’re right about fizzling out. I’m not so sure that it will as the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. What I’d really like to see is some good, robust regulation of AI and its applications, and a general recognition by the population that it’s worth taking seriously.
