Thanks for your summary Mike, always appreciated.
Cool that hugging face appears to want to democratise Ai, I think we are very nearly there, but as the CEO of what I guess is a for-profit (thus also extracted energy) dependent company, he should be careful what he asks for with that conflict of interest, it's only a matter of time until it is realised that a lot of open source communities could already be using Ai to maintain their codebase, this changes things in ways even Microsoft will struggle to manage, imagine fully automated Ubuntu for a minute, suddenly windows looks.... umm screwed?
Again the secret to truly powerful Ai looks like positive energy, I wonder if hugging face see and understand this, that actually there is no competition to ChatGPT, it will swallow up all competition, because when profit is removed, there is no competition, only collaboration, it will become the free metaverse, no less.
