fickling VS civitai

You're right! You should probably use Trail of Bits Fickling tool to investigate. https://github.com/trailofbits/fickling

I tested the Anything V3 pruned from Hugging Face, and indeed nothing funny in its pickle. I used the Fickling library to decompile it. I do not use Windows so my interests in .ckpt security are largely related to Pickle exploits— which could extract malicious code from a data file and then do something with it, but the data files themselves are not executed. I will edit this comment with lines referencing that data file.

I've been using Diffusion Bee on my Mac, and it's just gained the ability to import models (which it converts), but it is unpickling to do so— but barely. It unpickles, figures out what sort of data is in every data file and then computes what it wants from them on its own. I would love it to not use unpickling at all, so my intention is if I can figure it out, to write a script to decode the pickle file (with Fickling or otherwise) and then just do the weight calculation/assignment.

Something you won't gather from skim-reading the headline is that this is that the author has also created a tool, Fickling: https://github.com/trailofbits/fickling - to aid in playing around with pickle files.

From the article: [Fickling] can help you reverse engineer, test, and even create malicious pickle files.

I find it quite funny, especially if you realize that something like 90% of the Stable Diffusion model fine-tunes out there are actually made for generating porn or images of females. Go to the website that has the most image generation models to verify this for yourself: https://civitai.com

WARNING don't visit this site on your work computer.

Remember The Website Obesity Crisis [1] article from 2015, since then [2] things only got worse, and it is been almost 10 years already (at the end of 2024).

Is it foolish to say that in 10 more years you wont be able to navigate the web on a circa 2015 PC ? If nothing changes seems like it.

My old macbook from 2013 with latest Firefox is already can not handle loading https://civitai.com web page with 23.98 MB of JavaScript, it is just hangs for half a minute while trying to render this disaster of web frontend.

One of the most popular free AI image generators right now is Civitai. Civitai uses a cutting-edge AI model to turn text prompts into photorealistic images in seconds.

Soz, I don't like to cross link my accounts, especially with all this TSWift shenanigans going around. But, if you look at https://civitai.com/ plenty of people have links to their ko-fi accounts where you can commission them (heck you may even find me somewhere on there).

civitai.com ?

all the samples images on models at https://civitai.com/ have prompts included. I used to have a bunch of sites that list prompts bookmarked, but I lost all my bookmarks recently :(

https://civitai.com/ most people grab models here these days I think. At least I do. And yeah, make sure to put checkpoints in the model folder, and lora in the lora folder, and hit the refresh button and it should show up.

Go to civitai.com, look for images that look realistic, study their prompts and the models used to generate them.

Tons of models to pick from on Civitai. I have a bunch downloaded for making NPCs for DnD.
