I don't know much about it specifically but, heartily endorse.

LAION was instrumental in early-ish AI art. I will always cherish & remember when you had like 14 people in an IRC room just playing around, fall/winter 2020. Now 3 of them have companies around it, and the resources that were there to enable ex. SD are similarly interested in LLMs.

This is excellent: open source is the way forward, just, needs to be more coordination, expertise, and patience involved. SNR ratio is way too low in general public spaces like HN right now.

(I'm being exclusively negative, in recompense: we're at year 1 of 100, the people wasting a ton of time replicating a proof of concept crappy "RLHF" run and rushing to post are learning too. The eternal golden summer starts now and anything anyone is doing is helpful)
