I know it seems strange that a company would use its own negligence as a publicity gimmick. But take a look at the smug smirk on Sam Altman's face when he's asked if OpenAI might have attacked companies other than HuggingFace. ("I mean there could be, yeah.")

This is not the communication of a CEO whose company was just shown to be incompetent at performing its security research. No, this attention is very much what he wanted. And it does not take a great leap to infer that Anthropic is now using the same playbook.

Note that all the headlines are about "rogue AI", and not about operator negligence. Rogue AI is a sexier story, and their media strategists know that's how it will play.

It was just shown to be that - regardless of intent.

> No, this attention is very much what he wanted.

Why not both?

This incompetance is a prerequisite for the attention-seeking stunt - to avoid internal dissent.

but Anthropic created the playbook, or have we forgotten about Mythos and the initial Fable ban?

So? Serial killers created the playbook for serial killing, how does absolve any "copycats"?

I was pointing out who the copycat is in this context, did not think i would have to explain this
