"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.

isn't this a bit like saying "google drive is being used to easily pirate movies"?
Except it's even a bit more ridiculous than that because they can technically just scan the files and the metadata as where these are entire models that are not developed or being deployed by hugging face, they're just downloads hosted... I'm actually not sure what exactly they're supposed to do about this besides not allow image models I guess? Which I frankly wouldn't be against
i don't think the distinction "image model" really holds anymore. most big language models can generate images on their own if you bully them enough. they've ingested enough binary data to know what a valid jpeg looks like and you can use that to get base64-encoded images out.
as for banning diffusion models rather than transformers... well we have text diffusion models now.
I hadn't heard of that method.
can you show some examples of such images?
there are some in this paper: https://arxiv.org/html/2408.08459v2
