Hugging Face Engineer Calls AI Resentment Natural

Merve Noyan, an ML engineer at Hugging Face, posted on X that many in AI criticize the public for fearing the technology. She argues this stance ignores how careers define social value and that declaring entire professions obsolete triggers understandable hostility. Noyan describes the reaction as an organic response rather than unfounded backlash. The post forms part of a thread labeled "pto contemplations" and draws from her perspective as an open-source advocate focused on computer vision and multimodal models.
