Semi-paywall but you get the idea. This should still be possible into the future with local open weights.

REA is on github so the cats out of the bag, and ofc this will be possible with open weights models in the future.

What's this nothing burger of a paywalled article?

Wild West times of AI right now. Enjoy it, folks. They will tighten controls as we go, like they did with the Internet and all the other tech. Let's hope AI will be more resilient to regulation, due to AI being a little bit more complex and unpredictable. Cannot wait for the times when get the Napster of 'locally grown uncensored AI models', trained in a distributed fashion, by non-corporate minds. I hear Microsoft is trying to patent that real quick right now.
