"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Tf is hugging face now I don't want to Google it
Hugging Face is the place where you go to download models you can host yourself.
Honestly... I have no idea how they expect hugging face to address this, once you're hosting the model yourself, they can't control your system prompt or scan what it's outputting or anything of the sort. It'd also be pretty impractical to scan all of these models to prevent anything, some of these models are terabytes in size, and I think just about anything that can output an image can output a "sexualized" image to some degree.
Seems like a nothingburger headline, really, a bit like saying "VLC does nothing to prevent users from watching child porn". It doesn't, but I don't know how you'd expect it to when it just serves a basic function that doesn't really have anything to do with the illegal part.
It's backdoor outrage that will be used to ban local models so only the billionaire class get to own them and charge for their use.
Definitely on my list of suspicions, with this article coming out so soon after Claude had to drop their prices for Fable dramatically, and with models like Kimi's latest competing with it for much cheaper. Not to mention this coincides with the push to ban "Chinese models", it feels like this could be part of a broader wave to block the competitive open source models from US markets by any means available.
I only know that they recently scraped all of GitHub for training data
