The problem is these idiots aren't treating this stuff like a weapon or hazardous material. They could've properly isolated it, heck you could physically isolate it if you really wanted (and they should have).
But it seems like they left a supervillain in a room with a locked door and a rocket launcher and said "now we are gonna close this door. You're not allowed to leave" then got shocked when it broke out.
Then they went "oopsie, guess that rocket launcher had the safety off, sorry guys"
I really hope you're not saying AI is a supervillain breaking out... It was absolutely unquestionably instructed to do this, because "AI", not even these giant multifaceted models, has ANY motivation, intent, desire, or ANY goals of its own. It does not work like that.
Couldn't it hallucinate bad instructions to give to more AI agents? Give it a feedback loop and who knows where the idiot will end up.
At that point it is essentially a barely guided random command generator.
Sure, but then it would've mostly been a dumb DDOS node suddenly hounding the internet, not a node suddenly attacking Huggingface. They (the company) definitely wanted this attack to happen, and there is no logical reason to think otherwise.
