So they named the product sucking the data after the Facehugger? At least they know that they are in the abomination business. Will they be releasing an AI named Bursting Chest?

The company was named after the U+1F917 🤗 HUGGING FACE emoji.

HF is more of a platform for publishing this sort of thing, as well as the neural networks themselves and a specialized cloud service to train and deploy them, I think. They are not primarily a tool vendor, and they were around well before the LLM hype cycle.

to be honest, they give me a lot of mtgox vibes:

  • extremely stupid name
  • technically predates the worst excesses of the AI bubble
  • very eager to enable the worst excesses of the AI bubble

It’s also the place where you go to to download models to use by yourself instead of sending all your data to the most unscrupulous people possible, so at least they’ve got that going for them.
