This is pretty great news honestly. I see a lot of pushback against AI, but realistically I don’t think there’s any chance of getting companies to stop AI development.

If it’s going to infect every part of our lives either way, I’d much rather we focus on making it actually widely available to individuals, where people can use it privately for their own benefit, rather than it being one more way that tech giants take control of our lives.

🤗 (Hugging face) also hosts a large repository including demos of AI models so they have been a helpful resource for open source computing.
