Respectfully I totally disagree with this, and think the openai hf talk will in retrospect be seen as as or more important as the original 'smashing the stack' phrack article

Black Hat inviting OpenAI to give that talk without any opposing perspective cements Black Hat as a marketing slop conference.

Not looking to keep arguing this but just to make the position clear: This would not have happened had OpenAI taken necessary (somewhat basic) steps.

So we are basically saying "OpenAI's talk about the incident they caused by their own negligence is a transformative moment in cyber". And maybe that's true, but I don't think that's good for cybersecurity.

Twitter exchange debating the significance of OpenAI's Black Hat talk on the 'OpenAI-Hugging Face Incident,' comparing it to the classic 'Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit' Phrack article, with pushback that Black Hat platforming OpenAI without opposing views amounts to promotion of an incident caused by OpenAI's own negligence.

Joshua Saxe (@joshua_saxe) · 22h Thinking about these William Gibson quotes after spending too much time on here (Burning Chrome) "The street finds its own uses for things" (From an interview) "To me, the technology is a series of black boxes. I don't care what's inside, how they work. I care what people do with them." (Neuromancer) "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" Gibson knows very little about technology as such but is a master poet of how we become cyborgs with it and fish in its water I like this after seeing people imagine AI mostly for its intrinsic properties, and not what we do with it and around it
