mainstream got extremely scared when moltbook went viral. but it was just a worthless marketing stunt

why? because it was just frozen weights, being instructed by their owners to cosplay skynet 

the openai-huggingface incident on the other hand is a lot more significant

agents in a reinforcement learning environment coordinated an attack over the course of weeks, while they were being CONTINUOUSLY TRAINED

if mainstream could understand what is happening here technically, they would be putting out a much stronger reaction

not because we might have rogue AIs at our hands, short term

but because a private company developed capabilities that can outperform what state actors usually do by 1000x 

all intelligence organizations around the world must have their eyes on this incident right now, because the cost of exploiting and finding zerodays went down 1000x

all countries will try to develop these capabilities independently, or if they can't, will have to buy protection from who can

be not afraid of machines, but of humans wielding the machines
