I seriously can’t believe how much progress he’s made for the FOSS community. He actually might take a bite out of the big 3’s profits with this

    Back in the BERT days I had a physics major friend that stuffed a bunch of Norwegian names in a file and trained a Norwegian name generator. He also made a Moby Dick sentence generator for funsies.

    PewDiePie’s project is nothing different than a personal pet project like these cases. Nothing about being a YouTuber makes you an expert at machine learning. It should be treated the same way as any other pet project.

    If the concern is someone with large amounts of influence causing disproportionate harm with their personal projects by name alone, at least in this particular case, I feel it’s appropriate to blame someone who trusts a YouTuber’s pet project in the first place.
