So this company is suing based on a CA state law arguing unfair competition. To me, this case seems weak and if it does have merit in California it certainly won't in federal courts. Actual complaint rather than the ai summary pretending to be a news article

    Yeah, I don't see how anyone other than Hugging Face can have standing to bring a lawsuit over the breach. Is the unfair competition claim that OpenAI is allowed to hack Hugging Face with no repercussions but another company can not?

    Even shakier IMO

    "LASST suffered harm from OpenAI’s unlawful and unfair business conduct because LASST has been required to divert resources from its normal activities to educate regulators, civil society, and the public about the facts, legal issues, and potential dangers of OpenAI’s conduct".
