This is vibecoded garbage that the “author” probably didn't even test by themselves since making this yesterday, so it's not surprising that it's broken.

Also, as I said in a top level comment, what this project wants to achieve has been done for a while and it's called Heretic: https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic

(Not vibecode by a twitter influgrifter)

Thanks for this link, and mentioning this info some times in this overall thread.

It also seems the influgrifter has a lot of bots (or perhaps cultists) working this thread...

We will eventually arrive at a new equilibrium involving everyone except the most stupid and credulous applying a lot more skepticism to public claims than we did before.

And yeah, doing stuff like deleting layers or nulling out whole expert heads has a certain ice pick through the eye socket quality.

That said, some kind of automated model brain surgery will likely be viable one day.
