Right, so I'm just supposed to trust a robot called face hugger.

Hugging face is repository and Machine learning hub. https://huggingface.co/huggingface

I dont really understand their business model.

Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Well you see. AI companies are run by idiots with too much money to throw around so all you have to do is tell them your startup is github for ai models and they'll bury you with money.

Collaboration. Industry leaders, universities, and hobbbiests can all collaborate in the same place rather then siloing to their own infrastructure

Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

For sure they are! Meta more then the others though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Some other things too.

And they're totally trustable, riiiiight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What are you saying? Are you claiming they're putting malicious code in their downloads or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's mostly a joke about Alien's fictional face hugger and how people carrying one inside look normal, until...

Also, anything that's too free for too long is likely to either disappear, or turn to profit seeking at some point.
