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!

OK new game. Use this website to see how common your first name is, and then put that number in the tags. 

my uncle Clit got his leg blown off by a landmine in the War on Christmas

For the unaware - Deviantart has taken a clear stance on the side of Israel. They have also written a journal about it filled with misinformation , going as far as to link sites filled with propaganda. They try to seem 'neutral' yet only promote peace for Israel. Disgusting

DeviantArt is currently owned by Wix, which is an Israeli software company
