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.

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.

In practice, most crimes are not crimes when a corporation does them. Nor a human with a million or more dollars.

Wage theft is a good example. In the US, it accounts for more theft than all other forms combined, yet it's de-facto legal.

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.

HuggingFace reported to law enforcement before they found out that OpenAI were the ones responsible. https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026

So, what did the law enforcement do? Are they going to procecute OpenAI management?

More like an Israeli arms manufacturer test-bombing a Gazan primary school. They know their audience.
