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?
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?
For sure they are! Meta more then the others though
And they're totally trustable, riiiiight.
What are you saying? Are you claiming they're putting malicious code in their downloads or something?
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.
Until it can start doing actually work around the house. Then I'll hard pass all day. These things are useless in current state.
Can it empty my dishwasher?
If you program it. Seems like Robots are now the mid 70's home computers.
I'll program it to do middle out algorithm
You need it to jerk off an entire conference of software developers in record time?
While intelligently taking into account D2F of course
How long before it becomes a sexbot?
I’m designing the 3D-printable fleshlight mount right now. Hold your horses and give me ten minutes…
It's been a day, my horse is getting impatient
It already is one if you're not a coward
It's open source apparently, soooo fork it? Fork it real nice

Every robot is a sexbot if you're brave enough
As soon as you want it to.
I really don't, but thanks for asking I guess.
the future is gonna be fucking insane
The stand will be house keeping. Not happening unless it does my dishes and laundry.
No I do not want that.
Robot is as surprised as I am!
Why these robots never get a cool appearance? I'm not talking full-body, streamlined, Ultron-like, but in actual commercial models even the face alone seems to be an easy task for movie designers and impossible for industry ones.
Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.
Few minutes? Some have entire movies, but still look better than commercial bots like "Pepper", for example.
A few minutes of close-up. Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won't show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.
"Entire movies" "A few minutes of close ups" "Talking about design" "medium to far shots so blemishes won't show" If you just want to be contrarian for the sake of it, go on. I don't have time for pointless debate.
George Lucas would start suing
I can't wait to get a remote controlled robot i can control in VR from anywhere. I just hope nobody will be able to connect to it and kill me in my sleep tho lol
I saw that documentary with the waxy Bruce Willis.
