Hugging Face, a company that hosts open source artificial intelligence models and software, announced today that it has acquired Pollen Robotics, the French startup behind the bug-eyed, two-armed, humanoid robot called Reachy 2. Hugging Face plans to sell the robot and will also allow developers to download, modify, and suggest improvements to its code.
I’m not sure who I trust less with an army of AI robots, a capitalist private enterprise or the general public. Both sound problematic.
Definitely capitalist private enterprise is less trustworthy, and it’s not even close.
