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.)

Everyone reblog! Spread the word so more and more artists learn that in addition to Glaze that coats art against ai scraping mimicry there's also an offensive tool now, able to skew and poison data pools.

Now poisoning will need many artists to nightshade their art and it's most important to get this ou to those the most at risk of being scraped. Reblog!

5 simple exercises to awaken dormant muscles

I appreciate this video a lot--people don't realize how important it is to start slow if you're trying to come back from a completely sedentary lifestyle, and they get really hurt as a result. Straining your muscles too much, too suddenly can land you in the E.R. and the wrong joint injury can permanently affect your mobility, so please start with absolute basics and easy stretches!

saw new users saying they don't block bots bc "they inflate follower count 😌" and "what's the point" like who's gonna tell them (1) Noone cares about follower count and you can't even see it and (b) You have to bc they are using you to legitimize their dodgy links. They don't care about your aesthetic cat pics and lightning mcqueen fanfiction. They are using you.

A full explanation of #reviewbombgate, a major scandal that broke on Booktwt this week.

Please support the books and authors impacted the most:

Kamilah Cole - So Let Them Burn

Bethany Baptiste - The Poisons We Drink

Molly X Chang - To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods

Frances White - Voyage of the Damned

KM Enright - Mistress of Lies

RM Virtues - the Gods of Hunger series

(PS. I know people love to jump to "YA authors are always acting up" and assume any author with a femme-sounding name writes YA so lemme say right now that this author writes adult sci-fi.)

Does anyone know if this person's book will still be an Illumicrate pick? Because uh. If so I pay *way* too much on those boxes to be supporting an author doing this shit.

I haven't seen anything from Illumicrate yet.

I know they had a book launch thing a few days ago and are still busy with that, but I hope they're being made aware of this because this is awful behavior from an author. Just beyond fucked.

Zachary Quinto and Ethan Peck - two Spock's together.

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it’s an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

climate grief is also a thing.

That feeling where you go " didn't we used to have four seasons? It wasn't this hot when I was a kid was it??" And then you have to figure out if it's just that you're getting older. And then it turns out no the entire planet is falling apart.
