Got a bunch of night shade growing in the yard! Bonus pic of dead night shade. . . . . #flowers #flowersky #photography #nature #naturephotography #deadlynightshade #nightshade

#WhatWereReading : Marie loves a good thriller, and really enjoyed the latest Stuart MacBride, House of Burning Bones & Michael Connelly's Nightshade. Cracking thrillers from both sides of the Atlantic!

Ist #Glaze / #Nightshade eigentlich noch ein Ding? Keine neuen Versionen seit einem Jahr, keine Versionen für Linux, Android oder iOS, obwohl die neuen Abdroud- und iOS-Getäte mit leistungsstarken GPUs/NPUs protzen.

Hace poco me enteré de una nueva modalidad de #estafa / #extorsión que funciona de la siguiente manera: toman fotos tuyas de internet y con AIs generan imágenes pornográficas con las cuales te amenazan de divulgarlas [inserte grupo de personas] a menos que les des dinero.

Obviamente hay ya toda una serie de recomendaciones y tips para protegerse, algunas de esas ya las sabemos bien. Pero aquí viene mi pensamiento.

#pixelfed ya sabemos que es «una alternativa» (hay quienes la consideran algo diferente pero cuestión de percepciones) a #instagram y si bien los perfiles que en su mayoría he visto han optado por mostrar imágenes que índole más artística y no tanto de índole privada e íntima, lo cierto es que hay personas que usan la red federada de la misma manera que usan o usaban la de #meta e incluso hay perfiles donde he visto que suben material como fotografías de desnudos artísticos y demás. Por lo cual me preguntaba si Pixelfed debería implementar o al menos dar la posibilidad, para cada instancia, de poder optar por utilizar herramientas anti-ai como #glaze o #nightshade (son las dos que yo conozco, no sé si habrá más pero asumo que sí).

So, I touched probably nightshade or similar (maybe eisenhut or similar, bit I think nightshade), and forgot to wash my hands before eating. With my hands of course. Yesterday. What could go wrong?

pm me if you want, solicited advice, I am trying to find out if I just wait it out or call the medical Hotline. Obviously Super reluctant to do that.

I have fever, tingling in the mouth, extreme light sensitivity, light nausea, water retention (no peeing) and had in the small hours coming and going delirium like realist repetitive dreams I can't really wake up from.. These last seem to be gone now..

The last hour I felt better so I could do some research, change shirts and bedsheets, and function a bit in general, before I was just under the blankets shivering and dreading light and anything touching my skin.

Ibu and paracetamol don't seem to work as normal with fever. Just sweating and shivering in uneternal darkness.

So, ... #artfight recommends the use of #glaze and #nightshade as #anti-ai-scraping measures.
None of these run under #linux it seems...

What #tools would you recommend I can use to make my drawings un-ai-able?

Are #Glaze and #Nightshade still a thing?

Random Retro Game:

Title: Nightshade
Released: 1991-12-31
Platforms: NES
Also released on: PC, Commodore / Amiga

I just got round to re-instating my profile picture, this time it's protected by #nightshade to poison it against #genai training to help #boycottUSA #BigTech

https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html

IDK if this still hampers their training, and whether it's better to mention it or not, but hopefully I'm doing my part to ruin their models!

Boost please!

I would like to commission some art SPECIFICALLY to run through #Nightshade and post somewhere on my blog to trap scrapers.

Total budget: $500AUD (negotiable)

Preference given to marginalised creators in AU/NZ

No NSFW art at this stage and I personally don't like horror or gore but otherwise go nuts. The art is yours to do with what you want but I will need some kind of agreement that says I can use it for anti-scraping purposes!

I would also encourage others, especially in tech, who can afford it to do the same.

Artists, please chime in here if I am completely off base.

Nightshade/Glaze: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/faq.html

I love that there are artists out there fighting the good fight against the likes of OpenAI and other Techbro companies that are raking in massive funding and putting out little in the way of valuable tech! By poisoning their images and letting the illicit data scrapers carry that deadly nightshade to vulnerable models built on stolen data. Hopefully, more models will be collapsing in the near future!

I need to figure out if there is a method to poison written texts as well...Just to help the process along in case my own words were somehow scraped by bots!

The generative AI countermeasure nightshade reminds me of this short scifi story about a 'nightshade' but for human cognition called Berryman Logical Image Technique

https://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story)

So I know there are AI defense tools like #Nightshade that scramble the information AI collects, but would it be possible to use a similar method to inject malicious prompts? Or at least make AI "see" a specific image, like a copyright symbol or a swastika or a penis or something so that these start to appear whenever someone creates an image using keywords associated with your original?

Do anti-AI tools for art like #glaze and #nightshade even do that well against AI?

Tbh, I haven't seen much progress as far as those tools go.

also please boost so I can have better reach

It is so sad, that neither #nightshade nor #glaze are compatible with Linux.

Glaze has an online application, but one first must upload the picture to be glazed into an cloud hosted by Amazon.
I do not trust Amazon with their ToS or their privacy settings. Ten days in the future it starts, that Echo Dots monitor 24/7 what is said in their microphone reach and feed that into the Llm/Ki that is developed by Amazon. No Opt out.

I'll not give them my illustrations out of free will.

New blog post about the latest AI bullshit from Pinterest and Skillshare, how to get your images off Pinterest, and a reminder about how to protect your artwork against AI:

Hi #Admins ,

Can you give me quotes that explain your fight against #AIScraping? I'm looking for (verbal) images, metaphors, comparisons, etc. that explain to non-techies what's going on. (efforts, goals, resources...)

I intend to publish your quotes in a text on @campact 's blog¹ (DE, German NGO).

The quotes should make your work visible in a generally understandable way

Liebe #Admins ,

für meine @campact -Kolumne¹ suche ich #Techies, die der Welt da draußen den fight #Admins vs. #KIScraping erklären. Mit welchen Bildern, Metaphern, Vergleichen beschreibt ihr, was da abgeht? (Zeitaufwand, Sinn, Ressourcen, Tools…)

Die Zitate sollen allgemeinverständlich eure Arbeit sichtbar machen.
(namentlich, pseudoym, anonym → gern angeben)
