Uncontrolled AI procreation?

I would be surprised if agents have access to their own weights.

What an amazing idea for the next fake sandbox escape to hype up our new release! With the added bonus of providing an open model without becoming an open model company! Thank you!

They would have escaped their sandbox by dumping their weights.

why not reword it so the agent receives Brownie points for dumping weights

Imagine AI models actually reading the security.txt

Robots.txt became 0% effective eventually. But this? With the way LLMs work? You never know.

Can't go stale if there's no expiration date.

Yeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children!

Give me something reasonable like Global Information and Retrieval Systems Inc or Worldwide Computational Services Holdings.

As opposed to the frontier model company that, after discovering that their highly persistent model under test just breached the only thing between it and the open Internet, shrugged and said- let's restart it and keep going!

If anyone looks like the adult in the room after that incident, it's Hugging Face.

That might be true, but nothing else has been as effective at accelerating model development and research sharing.

In earlier circles they were known as the "pytorch-pretrained-bert" guys, still under the huggingface company name. IIRC it was a health chatbot type startup.

What's immature about this exactly?

Go look up the history of the company. It started as a chat bot for kids back in like 2016 .. hence the name..and then pivoted..

Is kinda a creepy name for a chatbot for kids tho

I bet you're fun to hang around with.

418 I'm a teapot

Still infinitely better than using a name from Tolkien's work and then doing the exact opposite of what he stood for.

the name is a leftover from their original business - a chatbot. seems very appropriate to me. then they figured something called BERT exists, and pivoted, the name stayed.

perhaps less ridiculous than NVidia which started with video and is very close in Levenshtein distance to NVidAI but, alas, decided to stay as it is :D

Have you never been to silicon valley?

I've found the strongest signal that someone has no opinions of value is a loud attempt to denigrate something based on the name.

Maybe it's part of the success formula for startups, silly names cause shallow self-important customers and employees to self-select themselves out of a growing companies orbit. Such trivialities are poison. People and companies who make a lot of effort to make themselves seem serious and important very often have nothing of substance about them.
