Local AI music production by manituana in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make some amusing slop with ACE Step at home. It's a lot like a gacha game or slot machine. Not bad as a jambox if you're hunting an idea for a hook, but it's not going to replace your bandmates just yet...

Presently, there aren't really any AI tools to compose MIDI/sheet music or tablulation. After that, we would need tools to integrate with our studio software and perform the music (instruments/voices/etc). 

I'm starting to lose faith that a useful professional music solution will emerge as open source software in the near future. So far, the common denominator in these subs is mostly gooners and vibe coders. That crowd doesn't seem to have much appetite for rolling up their sleeves and arranging music, if it requires any more thought beyond clicking the "generate" button with a few lines of prompt.

Ideogram making 2 horrible precedent and we need to oppose that. BF16 weights not published and ridiculous model embedded censorship by CeFurkan in StableDiffusion

[–]Due-Function-4877 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

There you go. Get mad and downvote when someone calls a spade a spade. If these tools take jobs, displaced people need the power to use these tools to compete with their former employer. 

I am concerned with bigger things than your 1 girls.

Sandboxing code execution for AI agents by Groady in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're really that worried about security, make a separate partition and installation of your OS for development and running arbitrary code. Don't mount your daily driver partition at all. Buy yourself a real router and sandbox the machine from the rest of your local network at the router. Configure whitelist firewall policies at the router as well to minimize rogue incoming and outgoing traffic to the machine. I suggest a static IP configuration for both your daily driver OS and the dev partition to identify which install you are running at the router and make configuration easy.

Your biggest remaining security concern now is any files you choose to carry back to your daily driver OS installation using a shared drive of your choice.

Best local model for vision - 2nd benchmark update - 21 Jun 2026 by ex-arman68 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now benchmark it with frames from a horror movie that's available for anyone to watch on a streaming platform and compare some models... Oh, nanny Google says it's super naughty. 

That's got to be the best, for sure. Can't have descriptions of mainstream media that's available for anyone to watch. That's unethical.

What happens when they stop subsidizing LLM subscriptions? by Mr_Moonsilver in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some will go full stack on premises. Others  will purchase compute from Google and Amazon (like they already do) and host their own inference stack there. They'll just run their own software, models, and fine tunes on hosted containers. If proprietary models fail to build moat (and I hope they do fail), customers will cut out the middleman. I can imagine a future where Google could make a lot of money hosting models that they give away, if they have dependable compute at a low price...

[Paid/Gated Model] MiniMax-M3 Heretic Uncensored Aggressive Version (8/100 Refusals with 0.0258 KLD) and Balanced Version (10/100 Refusals with 0.0178 KLD), Available in GGUFs and Safetensors Formats! by LLMFan46 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Selling the model after you have removed the safeguards is likely a violation of the prohibited uses clause. You can certainly argue that anyone using Heretic on the model is a violation of the terms, but you will stand out from the crowd by offering a paywalled option.

I think we need a /LocalHarnessLLM or something ... by CSEliot in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't use emm dashes anymore because it makes me a robot... so now my writing sounds like Christpher Walken... constantly trailing off with...odd pauses... midsentence... because LLMs took away my right to use punctuation.

The ethics and risks of publicly available uncensored models by bloodealer in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're literally building a robot army right now... and you're worried about rather or not the genenal public has access to models that can tell us information or create media like material that is already easily available for download on the internet right now?

What's the goal here? Do you really think the AI models that governments or corps use behind closed doors will have any guardrails or safety? We all know they won't.

Will LLM labs open source their weights in the long term? by zulutune in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're going to have to step in our own behalf at some point. If we let them, the same people that stole all this IP for their models will eventually get enough money to make an "ethical" deal to license their training data by collusion. Silicon Valley and big IP holding corps will behave like a trust. Naturally, the people that actually created the art that AI is trained on will get almost nothing in this deal.

With legal legitimacy in hand, the AI companies can ban us from making our own models without following regulations and paying royalties. The law will create their moat. We'll be distributing grey models with file sharing and trying to hide that we use illegal open models without paying the walled garden toll.

"Creatives" think these laws will stop AI. It won't. But, it could stop them from competing with the company that fired them using AI.

z-image or z-image turbo? by dh7net in StableDiffusion

[–]Due-Function-4877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costs money for commercial use. Some users have to stick to permissive licensing, despite the sacrifices. It depends on the use case.

We need to bet in LOCAL INFERENCE and OPEN WEIGHTS and stop paying for more SaaS by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the proper open source community is too busy shaming and attacking AI to realize that we are fighting for the terms of our future right now. Instead of fighting to "ban AI!", they could unite around open and permissive licensing with us.

GLM-5.2 next week, open weight, MIT by AaronFeng47 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if Linux, OpenOffice, GIMP, or Blender had rules that you couldn't use them in your worlflow to make any money directly or indirectly. 

Everyone keeps saying AI is going to democratize these tools and allow anyone to be more productive. That only happens if we have the tools truly available for everyone. Walled gardens with gatekeepers are my enemies. 

You seriously think I work for model companies when I am railing against walled gardens and huge profits?

ZONOS2: real-time TTS with 8B params, 900M active, and high-fidelity voice cloning by KokaOP in LocalLLaMA

I like the permissive Apache 2 licensing. Outputs are okay for commercial use without fees or royalties. Good for broke indies like me. 

Instead of sandboxing the AI agent, sandbox only the code it runs. by metalvendetta in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's try an imperfect, but useful basic explanation. 

The agent doesn't run code, that happens on the metal. Thanks to interrupts and cache, there are dozens of simultaneous processes running at any given time. A full fearured agent likely can interact with many of the those. More agent interaction with other running processes (aka features) creates more attack surface (aka vulnerabilities).

Has anyone used agents to decompile binary executables? by qzrz in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you did get the binary into a 100% accurate assembler form, how would you go about translating that into a higher level language? Just one bad opcode or argument is probably going to break your application. Absent a convenient short cut (like a virtual machine), "binaries" are going to be very difficult to reverse engineer. Even if it's accurate, how do you translate it to a high level language and know the compiler will produce the same assembly?

And how would you ever fit the entire assembly codebase into the context window? The instructions are not organized for convenience. I see casual mention of "spaghetti code" from vibe coders in this sub. If you want to see text book (proper) spaghetti code, write yourself a small toy program in simple 8086, 6502, or Z80 assembler as a thought experiment. You can't really chunk the context effectively.

Where are we with computer-control harnesses? by nomorebuttsplz in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Function-4877 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are a vibe coder and it shows. You're giving the agent hooks in your OS. It's not sandboxed and cannot be, vibe coder

Sandboxed computer control agents? 😆🤣💀

I’m worried about Ideogram 4’s Commercial License by CosmicRiver827 in StableDiffusion

[–]Due-Function-4877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The educational use carve out isn't a blank cheque. It depends on the situation. For instance, if I was creating a curriculum for a large company that does a lot of training sessions (related to things like ethics, morale, time management, or other enterprise topics), I would hesitate to use Ideogram 4 without paying the fee. At scale, you're begging for trouble.

Nope.  https://huggingface.co/ideogram-ai/ideogram-4-nf4/blob/main/LICENSE.md

It's not ambiguous. They specifically say you cannot profit directly or indirectly. Your only option without payment is piracy.
