At least explain who or what they are. Panic what and playdate hardware? This is journalism 101.

It also proves having an insufferably poor interface can still make you money. Maybe the fact it is so hard to find anything from within the site itself is why many less legally acceptable models have not been removed.

Hugging Face is also acquiring Nvidia with the 13 Billion they gained by being acquired by Nvidia.

Were they enforcing a broader policy against political speech or something like that? Or is this just the usual leftist Islamic aligned anti-Semitism?

The use-it-or-lose-it time frame for trademarks is only three years. Proof the previous holder planned to use it is on that previous owner.

Tell us you mean crap without saying crap.

As if AI slop wasn't a problem. For years image quality has tanked as many have been re-compressed many times over, often for no reason. Then you have the people that think upscaling an image 3x makes it more detailed and sharper... Ugh.
