No one has even sued them in these rogue agent cases, have they? If not, they must be infinitely far from criminal liability. Why would we want criminal liability anyway if actual victims are made whole? Proof of it has far higher standard. The HN chatter in the matter seems infinitely remote from reality | ||

If you go out and kick a random dude in the nuts, then give him a million dollars, he probably won't sue you. That doesn't mean you're "infinitely far from criminal liability", even if according to the victim you've "made them whole". | ||

If you or I hacked Hugging Face in the way OpenAI's agents did, we'd be up on CFAA charges promptly with zero regard for whether we did the hack on our own or agents running on our home systems got out of control. So I guess the defense here is roughly "too big to break the law", somewhat like "too big to fail"? | ||
