NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face. Together, we will scale Hugging Face’s platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide.
Thats just splitting everything into two different Internet’s and we are already kind of moving there. I didnt think I would be a fediverse guy, or that android could still be locked down despite the base of android being open sourced. Yet here I am and google is trying 7 different ways to block third party apps from being installed and Roms like graphene from working for their captchas. Like I wouldnt of thought nvidia would be buying essentially the biggest repo of open source models, because it would threaten their investments with openai etc.
Its becoming illegal to use torrents in certain countries, its going to get harder and harder to access what used to be “the normal internet”. My fear then is that over time less and less people contribute or participate in these places like lemme to the point we kind of just die off a slow death.
It sounds alarmist sure but it feels like more and more every day the internet is getting locked out because ai needs all the data from the websites, and they cant have anyone else using their APIs. More and more you have to be logged in to use anything, and the amount of stuff you have to do to work around that is climbing.
