@morqon Tbh I’m quite honored to be a librarian, librarians are the coolest people!
@jeffboudier Nah, it's basic style guide stuff. Proper nouns only if they're well known to the audience, otherwise describe what it is.
@jeffboudier "A.I." "Digital Library"
@jeffboudier Look at how they twist the truth. These people are the worst
@jeffboudier Wow, this headline and byline reads like they have zero clue what actually happened
@danialbka @jeffboudier what about this is inaccurate
@jeffboudier transparency beats black box when it comes to security
@jeffboudier I love how the @nytimes is not very good at reading. This is not what was said.
@jeffboudier I agree with him. It’s a ridiculous name for a company.
@danialbka @jeffboudier github is a digital library ig
@3nthro @jeffboudier Digital library . Not wrong but gives a non tech person a bad impression
@jeffboudier It would distract from the context, as non-techies would be less likely to take the news seriously.
@jeffboudier They just wanted to farm lefty rage. “They ATTACKED A LIBRARY” !!!!!!11111
@jeffboudier BBC called you a "startup" There's a conspiracy here 👀 Needs to be investigated
@jeffboudier "So, what is a 'Hugging Face'?" "It's a repo for models." "Re...po?" "Repository" "..." "It's, uh, like a... library, kinda, for models" "...models? Like an agency?" "No, it's digital" "...Got it"
