They provided the hardware it runs on, created the software for the swarm, developed and provided the tools that the swarm used to act, allowed it to run largely unsupervised, they even noticed the criminal behavior and then let it continue to commit crimes on their behalf. And they footed the bill the whole time instead of flipping the off switch they already wield. All of those are decisions that they're responsible for, nothing happened with Huggingface that they didn't directly facilitate, co-conspire, or permit to happen.
"they even noticed the criminal behavior and then let it continue to commit crimes on their behalf"
I don't believe this part is true, and I'm skeptical of some of your other claims.
In any case: If I raise a tiger in my backyard, and it escapes and eats someone, it can still be a "rogue tiger" even as I bear responsibility for the situation.
Were they held at gunpoint? Who else would be responsible besides the people in charge and who wielded full control?
If your tiger had full remote supervision capability and a remote kill switch, its ability to go rogue seems like a choice you’re making, not an accident.
