    From the site:

    “please download this anonymous bat file and just run it”

    Um, you DID that?

      I mean, it’s a major open-source project. You can review the file if you want, but it wouldn’t be high on my list of concerns.

      Plus, it’s a software package. If you’re going to be running any software, be in Python or a binary executable or a batch script on your system, you’re going to be trusting it unless you have some form of sandboxing system in place (which probably is possible to set up, though you’d need to provide GPU access to the isolated environment).

        I use a program called Sandboxie that does this. It’s free if you only need 1 sandbox environment, highly recommend it
