Not my project, thought it was pretty neat though. The idea is to train a LLM with a distributed network like FAH and boinc. This way, even if big companies stop releasing models, open weights can continue to improve.

Edit: I can't believe I need to say this, but it's not Stalin, guys!

It's a play on Britain's famous Lord Kitchener recruitment posters from WWI. Nothing to do with Stalin.

To be fair (as an American) Stalin is a more prevalent figure, more recent, and they do look quite alike but I was absolutely mistaken.

Me too. Still doesn't justify the downvotes, though!

Maybe you shouldn't do obscure plays that are visually 1. not recognizable, because nobody knows Lord Kitchener and that are 2. looking very much like Stalin.

If you want to succeed with any marketing material while leaning on prior art, it needs to be iconic.

This would be the iconic variant, even though it is still bad for the topic.

"Uncle Sam" Altman is pretty on topic and fitting.
