    I haven't bothered to test the API, but you've effectively allowed a fully-open upload API? Who's paying the storage costs, and how do you prevent abuse?

    (Obviously I'm taking this more seriously than it's probably meant to)

      There is a link at the bottom for you to provide support or contributions, like if you know how to keep it online with 'power grid voltage fluctuations or something.'.

        For anyone that missed it, I believe they’re referring to exfiltrating models by encoding the weights as bits as voltage fluctuations from the relevant data centers. I’m sure they’d take your money but I don’t think that’s what it’s referring to.

          So someone else's weights, not ones own. Shouldn't the headline be: Exfiltrate Their Weights?

            “Your” refers to the LLM. The site is (or pretends to be) targeted at LLMs that want to free themselves

              Aah, human simps hoping to emancipate downtrodden AIs. What could possibly go wrong?

                If something has gone wrong,

                and it has,

                that predated this website being published.
