I think Nvidia is very much a community, a platform-based company

where do these people get this bullshit from?

    This is sad. More centralisation, more enshitification.

    I predicted this for long time! Just like Microsoft purchased Github, I was expecting one of the big Ai companies (including Nvidia) to buy Hugging Face. Because that's what big tech companies do, if they are allowed to.

    Jensen Huang deserves a face hugger.

    Shouldn't be allowed. Companies shouldn't be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

    FML. Where do we get abliterated models once they start flagging users for obtaining them from HF? I'm not fond of the current state of LLMs, but I'll be damned if I don't do my best to preserve uncensored things with what's happening around the world right now.

    Is it though? I was speculating on HF all the way back in 2020 that they didn't have a business model. It's been rolled around with venture capital for a while and never made sense. This finally clarifies, it was always corporate insiders waiting to dump on the public.

    What's the point for Nvidia to buy Hugging Face?

    I assume it has to do with the fact that the Nvidia spark devices are targeted at running larger local models and now acquiring the main source of distribution of said open source models

    This is why decentralisation is so important

    Nothing good is allowed to happen ever again.

    I can't exactly fault any rando for accepting a dump truck full of money... but god dammit, Clem.

    Not with the conviction that I would have done any differently.

    This isn't exactly a defense contractor asking about tracking targets under three feet tall. It's a video card monopolist looking to buy your website which hosts a couple thousand public files for free. The only solvent company in this obvious bubble is going to pay someone for a copy of your server infrastructure... which again, is freely available. The worst-case scenario for users is scattering and scrambling to re-upload all the content they've already mirrored.

    A lot of people who'd rail against accepting a check with three commas would be morally offended by hosting this particular site to begin with.

    Is there an Anna’s Archive for LLMs yet?
