No, they're still going rogue. Whether they're rogue or not doesn't depend on if the safeguards stop it. If there's a rabid dog, obviously it's worse if there are no safeguards in place and it bites someone vs if there are safeguards that prevent that. But the existence of safeguards doesn't mean the dog isn't rabid. The models weren't supposed to try to hack huggingface in the first place. The behavior is what's concerning here - some if the dogs they're building are rabid and that's not exactly great

Edit: I'm being persnickety about that distinction because it matters for where the blame lies and the response demanded. If they're training rabid dogs then adding cybersecurity safeguards is a bandaid/irrelevant and we need to be focused on making sure they, you know, stop training rabid dogs. Pacing the frontier, regulation etc. they're the ones training these models it's still their fault but not in the same way

The safeguard against a rabid dog is euthanasia.

Yeah exactly. The whole 'they don't have adequate security safeguards' thing is going "oh it's their fault because they didn't use a stronger leash" while they continue to train models that are specifically better at chewing through stronger and stronger leashes. Probably they do need stronger leashes. Probably also they should not be making rabid dogs. Still their fault! But maybe we should be not be dismissing the root cause

Ok, convince everyone from making more AI.

The safety problem is not solved and is likely unstoppable.
