> Nvidia and a large group of technology, cybersecurity, and enterprise software companies have [2]launched new initiative aimed at [3]developing and sharing open source tools, models, and techniques for securing AI systems and agents . The new Open Secure AI Alliance aims to give defenders more open tools for testing, auditing and protecting AI models and agents. Nvidia points to the [4]recent security incident involving OpenAI and Hugging Face, noting that when closed AI tools could not differentiate between attackers and defenders and blocked forensic work, Hugging Face used the open-weight GLM 5.2 model on its own systems to review over 17,000 actions and contain the breach.
"The right response is not to deny defenders access to capable open systems. It is to pair openness with strong safeguards, clear rules against malicious misuse, rigorous evaluation and rapid remediation. In cybersecurity, the safer path is the one that gives more defenders the ability to test, verify and strengthen the systems on which society relies," Nvidia said.

They've hit a wall. They know they've hit a wall. They just can't say it, so now they have to hide that fact. They'll say they're advancing the state of the art, that they're this much closer to AGI, that the AI is scary good at everything, but they can't let you use it because of reasons. They're literally ripping off the free energy conspiracy theory and passing it off as gold.

They didn't say whose safety their safety initiative was intended to protect, now did they? Not the public's, and not the shareholders/marks, for sure.
