Big shoutout to @JensenHuang on this move… liberty depends on all of us having choice in how we use AI …. That means each of us having control of our privacy and intelligence while keeping strongest AI companies honest

Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.

Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.

NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

@cgcalnan @Uber Nonluckiest means I wasn’t the unluckiest, but in that company I just had the most zero amount of luck possible

.@travisk's pitch for why young people should join his new startup Atoms:

"I'm not out there pitching some lame-sauce dude who doesn't want to work... This is why Atoms is cool. You're not dropping an app in the App Store. You're automating a 2 million pound machine [in the Amazon] going 35mph carrying gold."

@McclaneDet @DavidSacks @elonmusk “EvERyOnE DiSTilLLs … DisTiLLiNg dOEsn’T makE a difFeRence”…

the models are great, everyone should distill to make them greater… just got to make sure US CO’s can boldly do the same

[travis kalanick @travisk]

.@DavidSacks @elonmusk

The Chinese models are distilling off American models… my guess is American models can’t legally do this without being sued by Chinese AI companies in American courts .. 🤔.. and distilling a Chinese model is really theft from an American company…

What should American AI and IP policy be here?

If distillation isn’t enforced against, then everyone should be able to distill from everyone else.. otherwise one arm tied behind American models’ backs.

Maybe systems need to get better at preventing distillation techniques, and problem solves itself?
