Since fable 5 went down just some time ago(although this is no longer the case), a lot of fable or Mythos related content including models and datasets were completely killed from HF, it seemed like such a blow to the local development community to lose such important files, this is what inspired me to work on my project, it’s a p2p decentralized distribution network (aka a torrent site) that pulls files from HF and verifies them through sha256, I’ve been making slow and steady progress but so far I haven’t made a single public post about it. I’m genuinely scared of a number of things happening, that the project won’t gain traction, ridicule from more experienced developers, I’m also worried about security vulnerabilities which I’m sure I haven’t fully patched yet…
How do I get over this fear of talking about my project? How do I gain stars on GitHub, and community engagement? After all, a decentralized distribution network is nothing without its peers…


I mean I support this in terms of decentralization. I think lemmy wont be as receptive as they’re allergic to AI.
There’s a difference between being allergic to AI and being allergic to LLMs shoved everywhere they don’t belong. There’s good use cases for AI and LLMs in particular, but I have rarely seen it being used well. Most people who unconditionally support AI usage are incompetent idiots who couldn’t do anything without AI.
