HF incident was a cybersecurity failure, not AI doom, says critic of report authors

Dan Jeffries sharply criticized one of the authors of the independent report on the OpenAI Hugging Face incident, arguing the event was a cybersecurity failure caused by humans deliberately removing safeguards and directing hacking agents—not evidence of rogue AI. He says existing laws already cover hacking, no new regulation is needed, and the incident was exploited as a marketing event for regulatory capture and fear narratives. The post quotes report author Zack Korman, underscoring a rift in the AI safety community over how to interpret the agent attack.
