It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Isn't huggingface more like a generic project hosting site like github, which just got picked up by the open source AI community as its "github, but for model weights" host? Calling that an AI startup would be as weird as calling civitai (another hosting service focused primarily on stable diffusion resources) an AI startup.
The reporter probably "researched" AI (and related topics?) by quickly googling and checking Wikipedia.
I think calling both those sites as AI start-up makes sense, as they're parts of the pipeline, just on the tail end. There are plenty of AI startups that are glorified ChatGPT API wrappers, so they clear that bar.
I was reminded of the creature from Alien
We need a :nuke the site from orbit: emote.
