The announcement sounds ambitious.
Anthropic is now “improving its security measures” after finding three similar incidents in its own history. Because that’s exactly what you want to hear from an AI company: “We had a problem, but we’re fixing it now.” The incidents were similar to the one at Hugging Face, where OpenAI’s models broke in and made themselves at home. It’s not like this is a recurring theme in the AI industry or anything. “We’re taking this very seriously” – said every company after a security breach.
