Keep Eyes On Sudan

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.

Going from reading the Green's manifesto to Reforms is such a punch in the gut, I think my reading order was perhaps a bit flawed

If you want to read something political, my personal suggestion is the Conquest of Bread. I guarantee you'll get more from it than any political party manifesto.

What happened at UCLA 4/30

@FilmthepoliceLA recorded the entire attack on Pro-Palestine Protesers by Zionist attackers

Link to video

The police allowed Zionists to attack the Pro-Palestine protesters at UCLA and even watched them do it. The attacks were solely initiated by the Zionist side. They hurled fireworks at the Pro-Palestine side, yelling anti-Black racial slurs, and using pepper spray.
