She explodes

Hey look, the Shadow is back

I hate this thing so much.

To Kyle and Yoshi: Is it weird to have two Serperior in the Arbor Area? I’m sure things got a bit awkward when Kyle evolved from his Servine form

Kyle: "It really doesn't help that I'm shiny, so things were extra awkward for me, especially when I was up with the Queen."

this happened in my playthrough 

i'll never emotionally recover from their hugs. first one has n hold uzi close cuz he remembered what "tessa" told him and the crushing reality that he might lose uzi. the second one is from pure relief, n is holding uzi so gently cus he's glad that she's safe in his arms

THEY ARE STICKER.S :) ialreadu posted.that doll bu;t i figure id post them likw. a mass post.

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.
