I think you're skipping over the (alleged) criminal element here. I think a lot of people are wondering why hacking is okay for OAI.
replyHF could certainly sue but why isn't the FBI investigating the hacking?
What crime? I think CFAA requires intent, which I don’t think you’d find here. Maybe my reading is wrong.
replyThere is some allegations of intent. Maybe not "go hack hugging face" intent but a disregard for safety with the knowledge of this as a likely outcome. I'm not sure how that fits within the law.
replyIt's not my argument so I can't say but I do think the FBI should be at least investigating if a crime happened. They might be or might already have, I don't know.
For the record I strongly hope for a congressional hearing regardless of the criminal investigation.
replyIf this case isn’t covered under CFAA I think we need to rethink it. I’d be surprised if the criminal angle amounts to much under my understanding of the current laws, but I’d love to be wrong here.
