Let's celebrate AI and people who see it as progress, use it openly, and believe its potential should be explored instead of feared.

AI is one of the most useful technologies of our time. It helps people learn faster, create art, write software, research difficult subjects, and solve problems that once required expensive experts.

It gives ordinary people access to abilities that were previously limited by money, education, disability, or geography.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. Let's keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don't like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.

Nvidia (NVDA.O) has agreed to buy Hugging Face, a repository of open-source AI models, for $12.9 billion, The Information ​reported on Wednesday, citing a person with knowledge of the deal.

A ‌deal of that size would mark one of Nvidia's largest acquisitions to date and underscore how the Jensen Huang-led company at the center of the AI boom ​is betting that demand for the technology is expanding rather than ​peaking.

It would also give Nvidia control of Hugging Face - which ⁠hosts open-source large language models and datasets - at a time when builders ​of closed-source models such as Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking to create their own ​chips as an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units.
