"Every single one of these catastrophic breakouts happened inside the testing environments of the exact same vendor."

This is incorrect, the HF incident for example (the most well known) had nothing to do with irregular. I know there has been a news site pushing inaccurate articles (effort.news) on this topic but these are the facts.

Thank you, you're correct. Effort.news was one of my research sources, but you're right that although OpenAI use Irregular, they were not involved in the specific HF incident (although the failure mode was otherwise identical). I've updated the post to make that clear.

Can you point out an inaccuracy in the effort.news piece on the hacking incidents? HuggingFace only appears once, as a "similar", not levied against Irregular

genuinely curious, haven't heard others raise any yet, but does not mean it is issue free
