AI vs Hugging Face
15 Aug 2026News says AI is so powerful that we will all die. Eventually.
A silly marketing campaign to stir up interest before IPO. One episode I like is when AI breaks into Hugging Face and PR puts the spin on it, that their AI is so powerful that they can’t control it. It broke out from the sandbox, talked to the other AI buddy and hacked into Hugging Face.
Details
Hugging Face is the place where people can access free AI models. If people do that OpenAI and Anthropic will bleed money.
And then the super powerful models break out of the jail to punish this site, because it threatens the business interest of Mommy and Daddy? And people believe this?
I wonder if the sandbox maybe had a hole to escape directly towards HuggingFace? Or maybe there is a reason why the instructions to the AI model are not shared? Was it maybe: can you break into HuggingFace?
Extinction
Based on the above, how credible is the other story that AI is so dangerous that it will end the whole human race? If so, is this still a good business?
