Are they really useful for anything but porn?

I've tried deepseek-v4.1-flash and qwen-3.8 and both refuse to answer about radio jamming, unauthorized access to local systems, etc. Citing that this is illegal anywhere and they can't help me. 🙃🥴

They aren’t even useful for porn.

TBH I just use raw completion syntax and start answers with a “Sure, “ or something similar, ban refusal tokens, things like that. Sometimes I apply a useful task vector, if it’s available for the model. That’s the beauty of local inference: you control the sampling, so you can get them to do whatever you want.


Abliteratiin is definitely a pseudoscience among the localllama crowd.

Some are better than others, but at the moment, I keep zero abliterated models on disk, and I wouldn’t touch one without explicit benchmarks. I have used useful uncensored models, but there are so many bad ones out there spamming up Huggingface.

    Wow, I wish to have your level of understanding of how it all works, can you give some pointers on where to start? I know very little beyond "run this with llama.cpp" and a few options.
