I seriously can’t believe how much progress he’s made for the FOSS community. He actually might take a bite out of the big 3’s profits with this

It’s clear that this is his own project, that he is doing this for himself…It’s just sad this is what Felix is choosing to share with the community of people that follow him on YouTube. It’s bad enough that corporate idiots are peddling slop tools, but having a content creator with history and sway in the YouTube scene do it. Also, it’s an LLM not an “AI”, as AI is actually out of human reach unless humans actually do some real multidisciplinary work to make it happen. Techbros being able to conflate LLMs with AI was the worst thing to happen to the world. If only they were forced to advertise their slop tools correctly, we’d be in a different situation. 😮💨
Back in the BERT days I had a physics major friend that stuffed a bunch of Norwegian names in a file and trained a Norwegian name generator. He also made a Moby Dick sentence generator for funsies.
PewDiePie’s project is nothing different than a personal pet project like these cases. Nothing about being a YouTuber makes you an expert at machine learning. It should be treated the same way as any other pet project.
If the concern is someone with large amounts of influence causing disproportionate harm with their personal projects by name alone, at least in this particular case, I feel it’s appropriate to blame someone who trusts a YouTuber’s pet project in the first place.
