Right, you mean it didn't go through a gateway? But would that actually have helped? The requests all went through jfrog didn't they? I guess it depends on the level of filtering at the gateway?

Whilst it might not be JFrog's threat model, I wouldn't assume it can be used as a full internet proxy.

I don't really mean to defend OpenAI here, but they did make some attempts at sandboxing. Although it does seem that they didn't really know what they were doing.

Isn't that exactly what they did? The bots could only access the jfrog instance, so they hacked jfrog?

I don't disagree, except that you've taken ambitious to mean climbing the corporate ladder, which is a relatively narrow reading.

It can also mean wanting a achieve a large dream or goal e.g. writing a book.

Yeah. But it's 10 paragraphs of AI nonsense that barely mentions the actual story.

Who could have thought this was a good idea? It literally reads like "ai security is important, btw we're the reason hugging face got hacked, we're awesome at securing things"

So they are the proxy in the hugging face hacking incident?

Way to bury that lede.

My best understanding from reading this is a) where possible and b) where necessary. This is the Linux Foundation, so it must put OSS and community first, surely.

People talk about contributing financially, but how and to what end? Most projects aren't set up to accept or utilise donations. That said, I would say we should be providing all OSS projects with significant access to AI in order to review their codebases and PRs and hopefully relieve some of the maintenance burden. I know there are some initiatives in this area already.

I stopped reading in anger at "That’s not an accident; it was the point."

It's pretty disrespectful imo -- it feels like the reader's time is worth less than the author's.

That's what I thought, but in the 2nd para:

> No Roman numerals. No Arabic numerals. No left-to-right reading direction. No assumed orientation. Something that works in a mirror, in zero gravity, in any language spoken on Earth or beyond it.

As other comments have pointed out, base 10 is a pretty big assumption though.

I noted "warfighter" as well. Never heard that before.

I assume they just pretend to be the Googlebot so the site just gives the text.
