finally!! My favorite ii character! I struggled making a design for mephone, but I think I like this one a lot. I may make a design sheet in the future explaining all of my choices, because I put a lot of thought into him! Also I added some lighting

The image used to create IMAGE_DEPTHS was recently found!
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.

Gotta say that was really anticlimactic
Everyone was acting like it was gonna be a tear jerker or something and then it just wasn't?? The only thing I really appreciated was that baby Finn was okay in the end. I didn't expect Simon and Betty to have a happy ending but what the fuck was that??? They didn't even say goodbye, she literally didn't say anything at all?? Betty deserves better than that, and what exactly is supposed to be the message here? Don't fuck up cause you can't undo the past? No shit Sherlock, but Jesus, even if Simon and Betty weren't together afterwards she shouldn't have to live like that for eternity. And we don't even get to see anyone else in Ooo afterwards, what ever happened to Simon opening up to Marceline or Finn not coping well (or at all) with Jake's death? There so much that's just left open ended??? This could have ended better even with a bitter sweet ending and some kind of life lesson about not sacrificing too much of yourself. But that was just lame. Betty could've ascended higher and moved to a different plane where she has free will and is happy, but no she's just gonna suffer for ever. And it's not like I'm asking for much, just for Betty to be okay. I like what happened with Fionna world, not sure how I feel about Jay just abandoning his Family, but what ever.
edit: one other thing, what's with Simon saying "the enchiridion can wait" like he hadn't already found it at that point in time? and him saying "maybe I never would have found the crown" yeah probably not, then you would have croaked when the bombs went off and we would get vampire Ooo
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
