I can accept that AI labs themselves, like essentially no company before them, are overselling how dangerous their product is far marketing. It's weird how confident everyone is about that theory, but it does at least make sense.

But come on- Hugging Face benefits from increasing the perceived capabilities of OpenAI's models to slightly beyond Anthropic's? Enough to be cut in on this PR scam- to be handed the never-before-revealed information that this is a PR scam- despite having much less skin in the game than their partner here? And then they turned around and used a Chinese model to successfully stop it? This is a stretch!
