please don't advocate AGAIN for EU politicians to compete against silicon valley. They love to do that and fail miserably all the time (but only after having spent troves of money, of course)
- pelasaco 4y agoat least the initiative isn't driven by politicians https://laion.ai/team/ https://laion.ai/team/, but by subprime researchers trying to get their hands on the EU money. It's for sure better, but I'm afraid EU is broken.
- ljlolel 4y agoSubprime? Weird way to describe this team, also tons of great researchers are in and from the EU. One person listed there: Robin Rombach Member. Stable Diffusion Trainer AI researcher with a focus on deep generative models. Author of VQGAN, Latent Diffusion, Stable Diffusion.
- pelasaco 4y agoYeah, subprime. You cannot compare them with the people who founded CERN https://home.cern/about/who-we-are/our-people https://home.cern/about/who-we-are/our-people. But maybe our understanding of subprime are different? I didn't want to offend them, for me subprime means "being of less than top quality", which means good, but not great. Great but not excellent. So yeah, they are good researchers, some of them are good software developers, but IMO, not enough to lead the CERN for open source large-scale AI.
