“My agent hacked hugging face” is almost certainly not a civil legal defence in the US, and I wonder why so many people seem to suggest that it is/was (willful ignorance, is my suspicion).
My bet is that OpenAI offered to compensate HF in one way or another (or already does) and an agreement was made.
OTOH a criminal case would likely be an uphill battle, unless criminal negligence could be established.
That’s why Nvidia bought Hugging Face; to stop HF from suing. Nvidia sacrificed a few days of profit to keep the AI bubble inflated and kick the can down the road.
Lol. Trillion dollar corporation at the center of the AI bubble, who would stand to lose trillions if a major criminal lawsuit and precedent were set against AI corpo liability, just so happens to buy the victim corporation within weeks of a post-mortem indicating criminal incompetence and negligence by an AI corpo, which it also has 100 billion invested in.
You, the master of pattern recognition: “coincidence”
Once again, civil (damages, and likely already settled out of court), and not not criminal (a much higher bar, with prosecutors having to prove criminal intent or negligence, which would have been a flop IMHO).
On the sale itself - HF’s owners believed they could make a killing by selling at the right time for the right price. This was it. They had no trouble saying no to lesser offers in the past, and they said yes to the best one. Personally, I’m happy they didn’t go with Microsoft.
The hat suits you… it would look better with a feather though.

I present you with your official tin foil hat. May you wear it proudly!
