Right, so I'm just supposed to trust a robot called face hugger.

[–] ravenaspiring@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hugging face is repository and Machine learning hub. https://huggingface.co/huggingface

I dont really understand their business model.

Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Well you see. AI companies are run by idiots with too much money to throw around so all you have to do is tell them your startup is github for ai models and they'll bury you with money.

Collaboration. Industry leaders, universities, and hobbbiests can all collaborate in the same place rather then siloing to their own infrastructure

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

For sure they are! Meta more then the others though

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Some other things too.

Until it can start doing actually work around the house. Then I'll hard pass all day. These things are useless in current state.

[–] MajesticTechie@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago (6 children)

How long before it becomes a sexbot?

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m designing the 3D-printable fleshlight mount right now. Hold your horses and give me ten minutes…

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

It's been a day, my horse is getting impatient

[–] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

It already is one if you're not a coward

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

It's open source apparently, soooo fork it? Fork it real nice

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Every robot is a sexbot if you're brave enough

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

As soon as you want it to.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can it empty my dishwasher?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you program it. Seems like Robots are now the mid 70's home computers.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll program it to do middle out algorithm

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need it to jerk off an entire conference of software developers in record time?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

While intelligently taking into account D2F of course

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

the future is gonna be fucking insane

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I really don't, but thanks for asking I guess.

[–] leftover@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

The stand will be house keeping. Not happening unless it does my dishes and laundry.

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Robot is as surprised as I am!

[–] LongboardingLad@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

No I do not want that.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why these robots never get a cool appearance? I'm not talking full-body, streamlined, Ultron-like, but in actual commercial models even the face alone seems to be an easy task for movie designers and impossible for industry ones.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Few minutes? Some have entire movies, but still look better than commercial bots like "Pepper", for example.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A few minutes of close-up. Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won't show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 year ago

"Entire movies" "A few minutes of close ups" "Talking about design" "medium to far shots so blemishes won't show" If you just want to be contrarian for the sake of it, go on. I don't have time for pointless debate.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

George Lucas would start suing

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't wait to get a remote controlled robot i can control in VR from anywhere. I just hope nobody will be able to connect to it and kill me in my sleep tho lol

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I saw that documentary with the waxy Bruce Willis.
