The analysis of the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident revealed significant limitations in the investigative process. The investigators were given a short timeframe and restricted access to data, raising concerns about the thoroughness of the findings.
“They had six days on site. This incident, you know, the waves of of episodes went on over the course of months from May to July and they only were able to look at a thousand or so transcripts from a seven day window, only scoped to the Hugging Face incident, no visibility into what happened before or after, no visibility into the depth of the takeover or exactly what happened at OpenAI, no visibility into what the more capable generation of model ultimately was able to do.”
“And I just think this is like woefully inadequate.”
“On behalf of the public, I say, this is not good enough. The investigators need to have more rights.”
