Prompt 46

The team of heroes is having a meeting with Supervillain to negotiate the lives of some hostages. Villain, the newest member of the team, refuses to go, but Hero insists that he should go, saying that Villain knows Supervillain better and with him there they have a better chance of a successful negotiation.

Trembling and sweating Villain shows up at the meeting; all seems to be going well at first, but when Supervillain spots him she smiles cruelly and changes the subject of conversation revealing lurid details about Villain's past.

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.

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

[shorlinesorrows]

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

DPxDC Prompt: Ghostly News Update

One day John Constantine finds a letter on the table in the House of Mystery addressed to Deadman. He calls for the ghost, and they open it together and are shocked to read the following message.

"Dear Mr. Deadman,

Since you reside primarily on Earth you most likely haven't heard the news. Pariah Dark has been defeated in one on one combat, and his title of king has been passed on. Long may reign the new King Phantom, Ruler of the Infinite Realms.

Unlike his predecessor, Phantom has no interest in conquest nor does he aim for more power. He is also quite fond of humans, and is even known to protect a small town in the United States of America, despite with the Anti-Ecto Laws the local government has passed (Claiming any being containing ectoplasm to be non-sentient thus has no rights. It is recommended you stay out of Illinois for this reason).

Keep up the good work in the Justice League Dark, and if you have any further questions feel free to call us at 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx."

The message is typed out, except for a hand written addition at the bottom.

"P.S. If you could get the JL to do something about those laws that would be great :)

-Phantom"

AU where Deku stays quirkless and he enrolls in UA's support department, he and bakugo befriend each other because they take the same train to school & Deku approaches him because they're both batfam fans :) they bond over common interest which also inspires them to work togetherrrrrr

team dark week #3: power/control

shadow and rouge sparring session! in normal hand to hand combat (no skates, no flying, no chaos control, no gadgets), i think rouge could hand shadow's ass to him bc she's had more formal training lol

[hyakunana]

POV: Even with advantage and buffs, your local folk hero just rolled 1 in Intimidation

[zhampip]

I don't know what i intended these to be.

[krysissy]

I DON'T THINK I STRESS ENOUGH WHEN I SAY THAT I LOVE ROUGE AND SHADOW LIKE-

LIKE LOOK THEY ARE LITERALLY PARTNERS IN CRIME. I love the dynamic they have. I love the headcannon that they gossip about random shit they see happening.

LIKE- THEY'RE PEAK WAS SONIC 06. DESPITE HOW MUCH I DON'T REALLY PARTICULARLY LIKE THAT GAME... They nailed Shadow's character and his relationships with Team Dark. I adored it so much like, I can't even put it into words properly 😭.

I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY, SHADOW AND ROUGE ARE BEST FRIENDS IN EVERY MEDIA. Whether it'd be IDW-

WHERE THEY SHOW SO MUCH CONCERN FOR EACH OTHER OR ARCHIE OR WHATEVER GUYS.

They are the bestest of friends and Sega should bring them, and Team Dark back ‼️‼️
