Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist).
As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)
NO ONE knows how to use thou/thee/thy/thine and i need to see that change if ur going to keep making “talking like a medieval peasant” jokes. /lh
They play the same roles as I/me/my/mine. In modern english, we use “you” for both the subject and the direct object/object of preposition/etc, so it’s difficult to compare “thou” to “you”.
So the trick is this: if you are trying to turn something Olde, first turn every “you” into first-person and then replace it like so:
“I” → “thou”
“Me” → “thee”
“My” → “thy”
“Mine” → “thine”
Let’s suppose we had the sentences “You have a cow. He gave it to you. It is your cow. The cow is yours”.
We could first imagine it in the first person-
“I have a cow. He gave it to me. It is my cow. The cow is mine”.
And then replace it-
“Thou hast a cow. He gave it to thee. It is thy cow. The cow is thine.”
I saw the "AD BLOCK IS NOT ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE" popup on YouTube only for it to immediately disappear within a half second. I felt like a lady being shielded by the great knight sir Firefox from a terrible bowmans arrow.
Merry Christmas to my friend of 3000 years @selkiefluff in particular, have a present you madman.
Sorry it looks janky af, between my countless Dynasty Warriors war flashbacks I also did the big mistake of using a brush I wasn't familiar with for lineart (poison damage sounds). I started drawing Neuvillette and gave up at that very moment :) (he was the first person I drew)
If you wanna give them (and perhaps yourself as well) a gift today, go read their fic A Dance of Duty and Distrust! 🫵🫵🫵
