I wanted to experiment with fan posters, so why not use my favorite TADC universe?

I’m a big fan of Vintage 8 and his analog horror. My favorite characters from his projects happen to be Oracle and Prophet. So, I made fanart of them.

(I think the 8 ball persona was perfect for them)

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. 

The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.   

AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond. 

Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

“I don’t like Youtube video essays they’re too mansplain-y.” has the word mansplain been lost in translation or has the term ‘video essay’ been lost in translation???? bc I have no idea what sentiment you’re truly to express? you feel this passion project YouTube analysis of an indie video game is misogynistically condescending? you clicked on a video of a man explaining something and it’s mansplainy? like I’m not saying a person must listen to and enjoy video essays but that confounded me truly
