alt Hacker News> They really do come out looking totally incompetent
These companies are full of the smartest people the world can produce with little room for complacency. They have a clear, proven investment upside to presenting their technology as "too powerful / too dangerous", and now a clear, proven example that there will be no legal consequences (as if anyone didn't already know that).
Why do we keep giving them the benefit of the doubt that they just didn't know any better?
What do you think should be the legal consequences? Broadly speaking. Should Sam Altman go to jail for this? If Hugging face wants to pursue OpenAI civilly, no one is stopping them.
