The title is clickbait. The article does not mention the name of any free, private AI models.

It mentions heretic as a tool of abliteration (removes guardrails).

The rest of the article is just waffling about security concerns nobody cares about (at least, not those coming for the title anyway).

Wow, you're right; it actually managed to go through the entire post without mentioning a single model... So ridiculous.

Huggingface isn't really user-friendly for the non-tech guy. It'd be nice if you could just download them and import them into something that has a user friendly UI

LM studio does that, one click install for desktop application and easy download from huggingface. Very nice user interface.

You'll be up and chatting with an uncensored model in 10 minutes

It's not that there aren't some risks to LLMs that produce illicit output, but the training data that made such output possible is openly available online already. As far as the risks of flooding the web with misinformation and propaganda, well...
