Lawrence ND says the OpenAI–Hugging Face hack exposes a failure in AI safety thinking
Lawrence ND says he spent a day acting as a media talking head on the OpenAI / Hugging Face hack, and came away with a stronger critique of how the field talks about AI safety.
- He argues that the current way people frame AI safety is too idealized.
- In his view, that framing does not match how companies actually operate.
- He points readers to a longer blog post for the full argument.
The post is less about the technical details of the hack than about the broader mismatch between safety theory and real-world corporate behavior.
