> The lack of details to me means this was an intentional marketing ploy to try and demonstrate the power of their models to show their technology can compete with the likes of Anthropic and DeepMind.
I dunno; Check my posting history, I'm as skeptical of AI companies' claims as anyone, but in this case your theory doesn't explain why:
1. OpenAI guardrails refused to let the target use OpenAI's models to defend against this.
2. Huggingface used GLM (I think) so that they could defend without guardrails.
If this was an intentional marketing ploy, it was marketing for GLM, not for OpenAI nor for Huggingface.
Hence, I don't think it was intentional.
The AI companies are desperately trying to market all their products as something they're not, growing intelligence. In line with that they have constantly leaned heavily on stating how dangerous they are, right before they release a new model or product.
It was OpenAI marketing. Hugging Face's response is so 'holy shit AI is awesome' it's hard not to also believe they were in on the stunt. They'd also not have to really worry about fallout since any data obtained or accessed wouldn't actually have been breached.

Tell me again how this was 'marketing for GLM'? Where would anyone have gotten that message?
Why are you intentionally misunderstanding how media and public perception works?
