We need to get models into a distributed distribution. Huggingface is way too central.
It feels like one of those technologies that can't truly be contained. It's like how the government keeps trying to end piracy. It's like a ~~hydration~~ hydra. Cut off one head and two more show up. Local models will be the dagger to premiere models.
yeah fully agree. They may go more underground, thinking if govs try to block them, but they'll still be there.
There will be a new generation that learns about VPNs and torrents. Life is cyclical.
