Have you considered that there are reasons to do things beyond financial incentives? This incident is obviously very interesting, particular to the type of hacker employed by Hugging Face.

> Who does a step-by-step visualization to show how they were hacked?

Up until late 2025, nobody.

In mid-2026 it's a few hours of work. Why not build interactive visualizations to help people understand complex stories like this?

It's the excessive anthropomorpho whatever (we used to say personification) that makes these stories less believable.

We've gone agentic!

They should call their security software "Neo" since it defeats rogue agents.

Anyway, I could see Microsoft ending up with both OpenAI and HF, but I hope HF stays independent. Wished the same about GH and look what's happened :(

I don't care what happens to OpenAI. Vaporware xD

Yeah that is quite a good point. A post-mortem is normal. This is not a post-mortem.
