          I dont really understand their business model.

          Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

          How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

            Well you see. AI companies are run by idiots with too much money to throw around so all you have to do is tell them your startup is github for ai models and they’ll bury you with money.

              It’s mostly a joke about Alien’s fictional face hugger and how people carrying one inside look normal, until…

              Also, anything that’s too free for too long is likely to either disappear, or turn to profit seeking at some point.

      Why these robots never get a cool appearance? I’m not talking full-body, streamlined, Ultron-like, but in actual commercial models even the face alone seems to be an easy task for movie designers and impossible for industry ones.

        Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.

          Few minutes? Some have entire movies, but still look better than commercial bots like “Pepper”, for example.

            A few minutes of close-up. Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won’t show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.

              “Entire movies” “A few minutes of close ups” “Talking about design” “medium to far shots so blemishes won’t show” If you just want to be contrarian for the sake of it, go on. I don’t have time for pointless debate.
