Except it’s even a bit more ridiculous than that because they can technically just scan the files and the metadata as where these are entire models that are not developed or being deployed by hugging face, they’re just downloads hosted… I’m actually not sure what exactly they’re supposed to do about this besides not allow image models I guess? Which I frankly wouldn’t be against
i don’t think the distinction “image model” really holds anymore. most big language models can generate images on their own if you bully them enough. they’ve ingested enough binary data to know what a valid jpeg looks like and you can use that to get base64-encoded images out.
as for banning diffusion models rather than transformers… well we have text diffusion models now.
no, my point is that attacking a file service for a problem caused by the ai giants is at best misguided and at worst an attempt to distract from what said giants are doing, namely creating the files in the first place.
isn’t this a bit like saying “google drive is being used to easily pirate movies”?

You think the model I use knows what a JPEG is? It just wants a picture of a gatdang hot dog
The image generator and llm are separate models
are you talking image diffusion models now? because CLIP isn’t really an llm in the normal sense. it’s just a classifier.
I hadn’t heard of that method.
can you show some examples of such images?
there are some in this paper: https://arxiv.org/html/2408.08459v2
It’s more like saying GitHub is responsible for piracy because they host codebases for torrent clients
No. One is about creating “content” and the other is about hosting “content.”
but… huggingface is a file hosting service.
It has specificity, it’s a niche. The niche is that of collaboration and aid in the pursuit of AI slop production, including the really horrible shit.
okay, but you see my point though, right?
Your point is that you’re trapped in semantics and you don’t comprehend what it means to deal with or combat networks of things.
