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.

Annabeth gets caught off her guard by something someone says and just spouts

I just have to share this beautiful thread on twitter about AI and Nightshade. AI bros can suck it.

[dazzletron9000]

had some ideas related to @madamadamiu 's cat au

Megatron gets adopted by the Maltos after bonding with Dorothy and meets some rescued kittens (the terrans)

(note it's not ideal to introduce cats directly like with Twitch here, she's just small and squeezed through the baby gate to meet the new friend)

Just so you know Pinterest announced they’d be using the site to train their own gen ai

We should all kill ourselves

I want to rewrite the entire plot of the 2nd season of Earthspark:

1)Instead of Starscream, the main villain is Quintesson. (The whole season). That is, the Quintessons want to collect Emberstone, gain the power of Quintus Prime and destroy another world

2) Due to the fact that the Decepticons are not villains, we will have even more of their disclosures on the good side

3) And in the end, all together: Autobots, Malto, Decepticons will defeat the Quintessons

The Good ending. Peace, friendship, love 😘

(Thanks to @sketchy-mf that' fixed the frames and my sanity to animate a simple gif)

Extra Extra 2.0:

THE REFERENCE I DID 🔥

Thanks to my beloved Rodimus who replaced Hashtag that I don't have yet, and Piplup for Nightshade that I was too lazy to transform 🫠
