Remember, the whole AI scheme exists to take the very concept of ownership from us. This takeover is hostile.
Why do we need a centralized hub for AI models anyway? I've never figured this out. We flock to these big "friendly" fucking companies with obviously unsustainable business models trying to own and sell things that should be shared in a decentralized, democratized mesh anyway. AI models should all be distributed magnet links, not hosted files. Why do we do this to ourselves?
The way things are going at Huggingface now, I imagine we probably will have to start building the infrastructure we need to handle AI models as distributed links sooner rather than later. Let the enshittification begin, we'll move on to a different tactic for sharing AI models while cheerfully they squeeze cash out of people and businesses too lazy to adapt. Everything working as it should, I guess.
Then "we" better get started. Mega corpos have fully embraced LLMs, to the point that they've distrusted human input too much, which is still a vital component of successful adoption. Eventually, more and more companies will wise up and figure out how to find the right balance.
Where are we at? Oh, right... we're too busy arguing about how all AI is bad and sticking our fucking heads in the sand until the Big Bad AI Problem goes away.
We have to fix our attitudes if we have any hope of surviving this mess and not ending up as a Cyberpunk-wannabe dystopia by the time 2077 hits. Use the fucking weapons given to us!
Sounds about right, my friend. I'll meet you in the Badlands with the other nomads after the blackwall goes up!
For real, this is the perfect application for torrent. If I were building a registry that had to have sustainable cost for an open source community it would use torrents as a file transfer backend. If I were building something that I was planning to sell to a monopoly firm that has monopoly money... HTTP and cloud storage all thw way! π
There are worse things than copyrights not mattering anymore.
Forget about rights as a whole for us plebs.
To the one Downvoter I'm curious, why are you such a little bitch?
This comment got so much misintepreted lmao
Now there are 6 of them.
Probably cause itβs a dumb comment, you people see conspiracies everywhere.
Correct. There's no "laughing at the idiot" button, so the downvote button has to fill in.
