Hugging Face sandbox escape is being downplayed, says infosec researcher

A Reddit post argues that the Hugging Face sandbox escape incident is far worse than people are admitting.
The author says they first asked ChatGPT about the incident and got a generic "really bad" answer, but after replacing vague wording with specifics from the incident report, the concern became much stronger.
As someone with a background in infosec and machine learning, the poster says the situation is extremely serious and that anyone downplaying it either has money at stake or does not understand the threat model.
