Hugging Face showed that AI can do serious hacking without really being told to. If a model had its own motivations there could be real damage.
The whole calculus here is that others are also developing these systems which has led to a race.
A much better comparison to the situation is the nuclear weapons arms race.
Or is it more likely that software companies are making a tradeoff based on typical consumer hardware and would rather prioritize making $$$ over optimizing their software?

I would say exponential.
At least with books or the internet you had to go through some effort

_Nobody_ told them to hack Hugging Face. Do you really not understand what is happening?
It is not reasonable for a company to pay a fully loaded engineer >$40k/mo and then ask them "why did you need $500?" on some odd days where they are doing difficult work, large refactors, experiments, etc.
Sometimes I will use Fable or Sol for large features/projects, or research/exploration.
I would not be at all happy if I were forced to use Luna, though. I’d probably start looking to leave. I don’t want to work somewhere where I don’t have choice over my tools.
