Nevo was in Unit 8200 for years. Companies started by Unit 8200 members always have mysterious exploits like the vibe coding Wix exploit. So either it was a deliberate exfiltration channel for e.g. getting the entire model or they were in on the marketing stunt. The Effective Altruism stuff is always a smoke screen.

Literally said this below, 2 comments flagged and 1 in the neg. Its really sad that we are not allowed to point out the obvious common element here.

Its not that surprising that ex Israel intelligence would want to control AI and that 3 companies headed by pro Israel CEO's would support them.

Why was this post flagged? This site has become ridiculous, people are routinely abusing the flagging system to take down posts they don’t like even if they’re obviously on topic and relevant to HN. And it seems like some users have substantially more flagging weight because these posts, likely this one, are often top 5 on HN.

Maybe because the headline is misleading? (because there's no connection to the Hugging Face attack)

That said, it's the second day and it's still on the front page.

Why the new account? Why not own your opinion? Cultural values are not the point here but if they were I don't think you would have that conversation in good faith and I don't want you to have to make a another new account for your honest arguement.

This is interesting and might be a good reason to stop working with Irregular. But I assume the alignment people want models not to hack other companies, even if they get put in a badly configured sandbox.

Why are all three companies relying on the same vendor? If we’re putting our national security eggs all in one basket, at least use someone American.

There’s a whole cottage industry of vendors that have provided post training data, private evals, and professional datasets to most (if not all) of the frontier labs. The overlap between OpenAI and Anthropic includes at least Mercor, Surge AI, AfterQuery, Turing, Scale AI, Upwork (for recruiting labelers), Apollo Research, etc.

> Irregular wasn't involved in the OpenAI/HuggingFace incident. It was [1]. It's understandable that you assumed it wasn't because the article didn't cite the sources on this claim. I agree with the rest of your points. 1. https://openai.com/index/third-party-cyber-evaluations-invol...

From the article you linked: "Editor’s Note: These are separate from the Hugging Face security incident"

Thank you for the correction.

That is such a primitive refutation. What is next? Blood libel?

The commenter said Israel and not Jews. Israel has a long history of intelligence operations like stealing the nuclear secrets from the US.

BTW, do you want to associate the greatest IP theft in history with Jews?

BTW, I literally meant "Israel" and NOT Jews. I live in Brooklyn! I do not and refuse to conflate the two as much as anyone of any group would like me to. As I am sure you know; in no way are all Jews pro Israel and definitely not pro Israeli government and I honestly feel that any assertion of such is both reductive and foments antisemitism.
