MIT researcher questions Hugging Face's no-lawsuit stance on OpenAI after NVIDIA purchase

- MIT researcher David Hadfield-Menell says he's shocked Hugging Face and Clément Delangue decided not to pursue legal action against OpenAI, and that the decision isn't getting more scrutiny.
- His follow-up: Hugging Face was purchased by NVIDIA, the world's biggest company, which concentrates power via chip supply, benefits from loose regulation, and lobbies heavily against AI regulation.
- The posts imply Hugging Face's legal stance may have shifted post-acquisition; the purchase claim itself is unverified in the thread.
