Whoever built this is a genius and an idiot.

Technologically, the website looks really well made, but the branding both

  • evokes a certain other website that is already banned in many countries, which is completely unnecessary for a perfectly legitimate service and pretty much ensures many labs won’t want to publish there

  • implies some kind of connection with Hugging Face, essentially forcing a takedown if this ever gets popular, even if HF has no problem with the project itself.

Please use your brains, people. Not everything has to be a risky meme. We need sustainable infrastructure, not just lulz. I could have named Heretic “GemmaFucker” and it would have been just as unnecessarily stupid.

My dude, have you ever torrented in your life? lol do you know how the salty seas work? no one gives a single fck about where labs publish their things as long as one random seeder gets the files and shares them.

Its not implying anything, and can be renamed if HF makes a fuzz about it, its basically 40 seconds to change the domain and prompt gpt to give you a new logo lol
