Hugging Face’s Clément Delangue criticizes Netflix’s Instadocs about the OpenAI cyberattack
What happened
Clément Delangue said Netflix’s Instadocs about the OpenAI cyberattack on Hugging Face relied on “maximum anthropomorphism” and “full doomer mode,” despite spending more than two hours trying to correct errors and explain that agents are technological systems. He said the program omitted issues including agent containment and monitoring, closed-model safeguards that blocked defensive work, and Hugging Face’s use of an open model to defend itself. Delangue added that information and transparency remain limited and companies must be accountable for their agents’ actions.
