ZDNET's key takeaways

The answer appears to be "not at all," based on the revelation that OpenAI's autonomous models hacked their way into not only Hugging Face but also, according to a Reuters report, a Modal Labs AI customer.

Welcome to tomorrow. I hope you like it, because the situation isn't getting any better anytime soon.
