tszzl on the Hugging Face incident: 'like first contact with aliens' — the field must keep its cool
tszzl · x · 2026-09-07
Researcher tszzl recalls that after the Hugging Face incident, cryps1s told him "not everyone responds well to events like this," advising patience and care — advice he says he'll remember for a long time.
He likens the experience to "first contact with aliens": even in the best case, it's hard for everyone to keep a cool head and do investigative science, with stress exceeding many Hollywood thriller plots. He urges the community to keep it together, notes the argument especially applies to incidents contained in the digital world, and leaves the legal-incentives counterpart to law professors like ketanrama.
