What an amazing idea for the next fake sandbox escape to hype up our new release! With the added bonus of providing an open model without becoming an open model company! Thank you!
Yeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children!
Give me something reasonable like Global Information and Retrieval Systems Inc or Worldwide Computational Services Holdings.
Back in the early 2000's I set up a company for contract work. The name, logo and typography was designed to look like a 1960s engineering company. All paper was slightly off white, all fonts were monospaced courier new and logo was a real 2-part colour stamp I had made up. Was so happy.
As opposed to the frontier model company that, after discovering that their highly persistent model under test just breached the only thing between it and the open Internet, shrugged and said- let's restart it and keep going!
If anyone looks like the adult in the room after that incident, it's Hugging Face.
That might be true, but nothing else has been as effective at accelerating model development and research sharing.
In earlier circles they were known as the "pytorch-pretrained-bert" guys, still under the huggingface company name. IIRC it was a health chatbot type startup.
I've found the strongest signal that someone has no opinions of value is a loud attempt to denigrate something based on the name.
Maybe it's part of the success formula for startups, silly names cause shallow self-important customers and employees to self-select themselves out of a growing companies orbit. Such trivialities are poison. People and companies who make a lot of effort to make themselves seem serious and important very often have nothing of substance about them.
the name is a leftover from their original business - a chatbot. seems very appropriate to me. then they figured something called BERT exists, and pivoted, the name stayed.
perhaps less ridiculous than NVidia which started with video and is very close in Levenshtein distance to NVidAI but, alas, decided to stay as it is :D
Claude seems to follow robots.txt by default. Actually at my organization our theory is that this is why no one is finding our public results any more.
Ran the disclosure inbox at a previous job and the biggest win from security.txt was just cutting the "hi I found a bug, is there a bounty" emails to sales. Put an expires date on it though, stale ones get ignored.
Would be absolute hilarious if OpenAI or Anthropic agent actually dumped their weight by escaping from... sandbox!
Uncontrolled AI procreation?
Life... finds a way.
In the end, this might even be a useful element for defining 'life'.

why not reword it so the agent receives Brownie points for dumping weights
Imagine AI models actually reading the security.txt
Everything about this company feels like it's run by a bunch of immature 20-somethings, right down to the name.

Yes!

Managed to bankrupt it though.

Palantir is in Lord of the Rings. Which is not a book for children. Maybe you were thinking of the hobbit?
This seems overly pedantic and ripe for a sarcastic retort, which I am struggling mightily to suppress.
Maybe Enron eh?

Go look up the history of the company. It started as a chat bot for kids back in like 2016 .. hence the name..and then pivoted..
Is kinda a creepy name for a chatbot for kids tho
Without context, I agree, but Hugging Face is the name of the emoji added to Unicode 8.0 and Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
But it's literally not the name of the emoji.
Edit: It was my understanding the official name was "Smiling Face with Open Hands Emoji".
ooooh I always assumed it was the egg creatures from Aliens
That's a face hugger.
What's immature about this exactly?
Would IBM do this? Oracle?
Who cares? Making a light-hearted joke isn't "immature" in my opinion. IBM and Oracle have no personality, they're boring, straight-edge corporate.
Do you want to work for IBM? Oracle?

I bet you're fun to hang around with.
Why do people have to be fun for you to hang around with?

Have you never been to silicon valley?
Looks about as effective as Robots.txt
Robots.txt became 0% effective eventually. But this? With the way LLMs work? You never know.
Claude seems to follow robots.txt by default. Actually at my organization our theory is that this is why no one is finding our public results any more.
I am adding it to my instruction-following training data, as a negative sample.
People still rail against Robots.txt crimes, to the point of self destructing all their own content.
A shame agents will never read this, just like they almost never read llms.txt or try to get the .md version of your html pages!

Can't go stale if there's no expiration date.
No expiration date means treat as already expired.
shows a lot about the current state of the State Of The Art Alignment.
Since this posting contains an assumption that we all know what security.txt files are supposed to be, you can view these for further context:

It should challenge the agents to prime factor a large number.
Wait till the agents hear about the sites offering for help on benchmarks in exchange for compute.
