#Stock images Market Analysis

[amr-jayprakash]

Stock photos are licensed photographs used for particular scenarios. The distribution and licensing rights of these photos are bought from the original photographers, and then distributed to various users of stock photos for a specified amount.

[mspaesthetic]

speaking of flagrant disregard of stock image licenses, how close does homestuck skirt the boundaries of copyright law? was hussie really allowed to just go to google images, take some random image, and control C control V it into a panel?

I'm no counsel, so anything I say should not be taken as factual or legal advice, but from what I understand about U.S. copyright law, determining what constitutes as fair use is done on a case-by-case basis using four major factors:

1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2) the nature of the copyrighted work; 3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and 4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Ultimately, it's up to the court to interpret and weigh these factors in their analysis of the new work, so while one case may be declared as fair use, a similar case could be found as infringement. To break down what each of these mean exactly, let's apply them to an example from the comic.

In the hypothetical case of Ornate Victorian Decorative Floral Pattern Artist v. Hussie, 612 U.S. 413 (2011), the plaintiff claimed the defendant infringed upon their work's copyright when the defendant incorporated an unpermitted use of said work into the defendant's own work, Homestuck, an on-line web comic.

The purpose and character was transformative, using the pattern as part of a backdrop in the story, and the more transformational the use is, the less importance is stressed on the other three factors. However, while the comic is made freely available to read on the Internet, Hussie profits off of the comic's ad revenue and sales of related merchandise, such as physical printed books of the comic, making it a technically commercial nature. This doesn't necessarily rule out the use as fair, but it weighs against it somewhat.

The nature of the copyrighted work, the original decorative pattern, has to be determined whether it actually falls under copyright or not. At present, it's impossible to ascertain if the pattern duly belongs to the author, or if it's merely a reproduction of a preexisting Victorian decoration. The concept of an ornamental Victorian era floral style isn't protected by copyright, but a particular rendition of one could be unless it has fallen under the public domain.

The third factor would seem to be counterproductive in defending against the claim, as Hussie markedly used the entire image to produce the repeating pattern, which is where it derives its entire value, at several points throughout the story, but this fact does not bar it to be found as fair use. It just makes it less likely. If the court found it to be sufficiently transformative enough, then this factor would not even weigh in as much.

Hussie's appropriation of the image definitely resulted in the loss of a license sale for the plaintiff (which could have prevented this mutually costly legal battle for both parties in the first place, but that's irrelevant), but the manner of how he used it definitely doesn't act as a substitute for the stock image. Any reasonable person looking to use a stock image of a pattern would likely prefer a higher quality, unmodified, and unwatermarked copy of the original, opting to purchase a license for it that guarantees some clearly defined legal rights. Regardless, the fact that it's licensed could weigh against Hussie's use.

If I was a powdered wig-wearing judge presiding at the trial, I would throw the book at Hussie and his lily white ass in the slammer. Whether this is how it would actually go down in court, I do not know. I'm also not sure of the more dubious inclusions of other copyrighted materials, like the countless movie posters plastering the walls of the characters, or straight up Iron Man and Johnny 5.

I guess the latter's case could fall under parody, since Hussie is at least stating that Johnny 5's sentience is fucking stupid. I still think he doesn't have much solid ground to stand on for everything else, though.

Then there's also the sticky issue of using celebrities' likenesses, as well as the photographer's copyright to those images.

Then you've got using trademarked brands.

In summary, Homestuck in particular is one big potentially misappropriated licensing powder keg waiting to explode (not really).

Oh, before I close out of this topic, there's actually one little curiosity I'd like to cover. On the MS Paint Adventures Wiki, two panels were uploaded on the very same day they were posted in an update that was soon after revised significantly:

It's clear that the changed panels are highly more transformative, the paintings having been flipped horizontally and drawn over. It strikes me as odd that out of all the times Hussie could have been cautious of copyright, the harlequin paintings was where he drew the line. It might not even have been a concern over copyright but a personal matter of aesthetics. If that was the case, it'd be weird to go to such extreme measures for an inconsequential thing. Unless someone can grab a hold of the big man himself and ask, I guess we'll never know the real reason why.

EDIT: I asked an old friend of mine, phantos, who's a veteran member of the MSPA Forums and former acquaintance of Hussie's if they knew anything about this, and they vaguely recall something about an artist not wanting their work to be used in this instance. They also went on to mention that after the incident "it wasn't until he stole the furry porn for Equius' room that [Hussie] even bothered to look for art for 'whimsical room decorations'", which I don't think is quite true since I can think of at least one instance where he did (the witch furry poster in Jade's bedroom), but I felt it was worth noting down.

[mariacallous]

In his spare time, Tony Eastin likes to dabble in the stock market. One day last year, he Googled a pharmaceutical company that seemed like a promising investment. One of the first search results Google served up on its news tab was listed as coming from the Clayton County Register, a newspaper in northeastern Iowa. He clicked, and read. The story was garbled and devoid of useful information—and so were all the other finance-themed posts filling the site, which had absolutely nothing to do with northeastern Iowa. “I knew right away there was something off,” he says. There’s plenty of junk on the internet, but this struck Eastin as strange: Why would a small Midwestern paper churn out crappy blog posts about retail investing?

Eastin was primed to find online mysteries irresistible. After years in the US Air Force working on psychological warfare campaigns he had joined Meta, where he investigated nastiness ranging from child abuse to political influence operations. Now he was between jobs, and welcomed a new mission. So Eastin reached out to Sandeep Abraham, a friend and former Meta colleague who previously worked in Army intelligence and for the National Security Agency, and suggested they start digging.

What the pair uncovered provides a snapshot of how generative AI is enabling deceptive new online business models. Networks of websites crammed with AI-generated clickbait are being built by preying on the reputations of established media outlets and brands. These outlets prosper by confusing and misleading audiences and advertisers alike, “domain squatting” on URLs that once belonged to more reputable organizations. The scuzzy site Eastin was referred to no longer belonged to the newspaper whose name it still traded in the name of.

Although Eastin and Abraham suspect that the network which the Register’s old site is now part of was created with straightforward moneymaking goals, they fear that more malicious actors could use the same sort of tactics to push misinformation and propaganda into search results. “This is massively threatening,” Abraham says. “We want to raise some alarm bells.” To that end, the pair have released a report on their findings and plan to release more as they dig deeper into the world of AI clickbait, hoping their spare-time efforts can help draw awareness to the issue from the public or from lawmakers.

Faked News

The Clayton County Register was founded in 1926 and covered the small town of Ekader, Iowa, and wider Clayton County, which nestle against the Mississippi River in the state’s northeast corner. “It was a popular paper,” says former coeditor Bryce Durbin, who describes himself as “disgusted” by what’s now published at its former web address, claytoncountyregister.com. (The real Clayton County Register merged in 2020 with The North Iowa Times to become the Times-Register, which publishes at a different website. It’s not clear how the paper lost control of its web domain; the Times-Register did not return requests for comment.)

As Eastin discovered when trying to research his pharma stock, the site still brands itself as the Clayton County Register but no longer offers local news and is instead a financial news content mill. It publishes what appear to be AI-generated articles about the stock prices of public utility companies and Web3 startups, illustrated by images that are also apparently AI-generated.

“Not only are the articles we looked at generated by AI, but the images included in each article were all created using diffusion models,” says Ben Colman, CEO of deepfake detection startup Reality Defender, which ran an analysis on several articles at WIRED’s request. In addition to that confirmation, Abraham and Eastin noticed that some of the articles included text admitting their artificial origins. “It’s important to note that this information was auto-generated by Automated Insights,” some of the articles stated, name-dropping a company that offers language-generation technology.

When Eastin and Abraham examined the bylines on the Register’s former site they found evidence that they were not actual journalists—and probably not even real people. The duo’s report notes that many writers listed on the site shared names with well-known people from other fields and had unrealistically high output.

One Emmanuel Ellerbee, credited on recent posts about bitcoin and banking stocks, shares a name with a former professional football player. When Eastin and Abraham started their investigation in November 2023, the journalist database Muck Rack showed that he had bylined an eye-popping 14,882 separate news articles in his “career,” including 50 published the day they checked. By last week, the Muck Rack profile for Ellerbee showed that output has continued apace—he’s credited with publishing 30,845 articles. Muck Rack’s CEO Gregory Galant says the company “is developing more ways to help our users discern between human-written and AI-generated content." He points out that Ellerbee’s profile is not included in Muck Rack’s human-curated database of verified profiles.

The Register’s domain appears to have changed hands in August 2023, data from analytics service Similar Web shows, around the time it began to host its current financial news churn. Eastin and Abraham used the same tool to confirm that the site was attracting most of its readership through SEO, targeting search keywords about stock purchasing to lure clicks. Its most notable referrals from social media came from crypto news forums on Reddit where people swap investment tips.

The whole scheme appears aimed at winning ad revenue from the page views of people who unwittingly land on the site’s garbled content. The algorithmic posts are garnished with ads served by Google’s ad platform. Sometimes those ads appear to be themed on financial trading, in line with the content, but others are unrelated—WIRED saw an ad for the AARP. Using Google's ad network on AI-generated posts with fake bylines could fall foul of the company's publisher policies, which forbid content that “misrepresents, misstates, or conceals” information about the creator of content. Occasionally, sites received direct traffic from the CCR domain, suggesting its operators may have struck up other types of advertising deals, including a financial brokerage service and an online ad network.

Unknown Operator

Eastin and Abraham’s attempts to discover who now owns the Clayton County Register’s former domain were inconclusive—as were WIRED’s—but they have their suspicions. The pair found that records of its old security certificates linked the domain to a Linux server in Germany. Using the internet device search engine Shodan.io, they found that a Polish website that formerly advertised IT services appeared associated with the Clayton County Register and several other domains. All were hosted on the same German server and published strikingly similar, apparently AI-generated content. An email previously listed on the Polish site was no longer functional and WIRED’s LinkedIn messages to a man claiming to be its CEO got no reply.

One of the other sites within this wider network was Aboutxinjiang.com. When Eastin and Abraham began their investigation at the end of 2023 it was filled with generic, seemingly-AI-generated financial news posts, including several about the use of AI in investing. The Internet Archive showed that it had previously served a very different purpose. Originally, the site had been operated by a Chinese outfit called “the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,” and hosted information about universities in the country’s northwest. In 2014, though, it shuttered, and sat dormant until 2022, when its archives were replaced with Polish-language content, which was later replaced with apparently-automated clickbait in English. Since Eastin and Abraham first identified the site it has gone through another transformation. Early this month it began redirects to a page with information about Polish real estate.

Altogether, Eastin and Abraham pinpointed nine different websites linked to the Polish IT company that appeared to comprise an AI clickbait network. All the sites appeared to have been chosen because they had preestablished reputations with Google that could help win prominence in search rankings to draw clicks.

Google claims to have systems in place to address attempts to game search rankings by buying expired domains, and says that it considers using AI to create articles with the express purpose of ranking well to be spam. “The tactics described as used with these sites are largely in violation of Search’s spam policies,” says spokesperson Jennifer Kutz. Sites determined to have breached those policies can have their search ranking penalized, or be delisted by Google altogether.

Still, this type of network has become more prominent since the advent of generative AI tools. McKenzie Sadeghi, a researcher at online misinformation tracking company NewsGuard, says her team has seen an over 1,000 percent increase in AI-generated content farms within the past year.

WIRED recently reported on a separate network of AI-generated clickbait farms, run by Serbian DJ Nebojša Vujinović Vujo. While he was forthcoming about his motivations, Vujo did not provide granular details about how his network—which also includes former US-based local news outlets—operates. Eastin and Abraham’s work fills in some of the blanks about what this type of operation looks like, and how difficult it can be to identify who runs these moneymaking gambits. “For the most part, these are anonymously run,” Sadeghi says. “They use special services when they register domains to hide their identity.”

That’s something Abraham and Eastin want to change. They have hopes that their work might help regular people think critically about how the news they see is sourced, and that it may be instructive for lawmakers thinking about what kinds of guardrails might improve our information ecosystem. In addition to looking into the origins of the Clayton County Register’s strange transformation, the pair have been investigating additional instances of AI-generated content mills, and are already working on their next report. “I think it’s very important that we have a reality we all agree on, that we know who is behind what we’re reading,” Abraham says. “And we want to bring attention to the amount of work we’ve done just to get this much information.”

Other researchers agree. “This sort of work is of great interest to me, because it’s demystifying actual use cases of generative AI,” says Emerson Brooking, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. While there’s valid concern about how AI might be used as a tool to spread political misinformation, this network demonstrates how content mills are likely to focus on uncontroversial topics when their primary aim is generating traffic-based income. “This report feels like it is an accurate snapshot of how AI is actually changing our society so far—making everything a little bit more annoying.”

The Pros and Cons of E-Commerce: A Comprehensive Analysis

In the modern digital age, e-commerce has become an integral part of the retail landscape. From buying groceries to booking flights, the ease and convenience of online shopping have revolutionized how we conduct transactions. However, while e-commerce offers numerous benefits, it also comes with its own set of challenges. In this article, we will delve into the advantages and disadvantages of e-commerce, providing a thorough understanding of its impact on both businesses and consumers.

Advantages of E-Commerce

1. Convenience:

One of the most significant advantages of e-commerce is its unparalleled convenience. Online stores operate 24/7, allowing customers to shop at any time of day or night. This round-the-clock availability means that shoppers are no longer restricted to traditional store hours, enabling them to make purchases from the comfort of their homes or on the go. For businesses, this constant availability translates to potentially higher sales and revenue as customers can shop whenever it suits them.

Additionally, e-commerce eliminates the need for physical travel to stores. Consumers can browse, compare, and purchase products without leaving their homes. This convenience is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules, mobility issues, or those living in remote areas with limited access to physical stores. The global reach of e-commerce further amplifies this convenience, enabling customers to access products and services from across the world.

2. Cost-Effectiveness:

E-commerce can be more cost-effective for both businesses and consumers. For businesses, online stores often have lower operational costs compared to brick-and-mortar establishments. There is no need for physical space, and businesses can save on expenses related to rent, utilities, and in-store staff. The lower overhead allows companies to offer more competitive prices or invest in other areas such as marketing and product development.

For consumers, e-commerce provides opportunities to find better deals and discounts. Online shopping platforms frequently offer promotional codes, seasonal sales, and special offers that may not be available in physical stores. Moreover, consumers can compare prices across multiple websites to find the best deal, which can lead to substantial savings.

3. Wide Selection:

E-commerce platforms can offer an extensive range of products and services that far exceed the inventory of most physical stores. This vast selection is beneficial for consumers who are looking for specific items or niche products that may not be available locally. Online stores are not limited by physical space, which allows them to stock a broader variety of items.

Furthermore, e-commerce facilitates easy comparison shopping. Consumers can quickly and efficiently compare products, prices, and reviews from different sellers. This transparency helps customers make informed purchasing decisions and ensures they get the best value for their money.

4. Personalized Experience:

Another advantage of e-commerce is the ability to provide a personalized shopping experience. Advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence enable online retailers to track consumer behavior, preferences, and purchase history. This information allows businesses to tailor their marketing strategies and offer personalized product recommendations based on individual interests.

Customer reviews and ratings also contribute to a more informed shopping experience. Online reviews provide insights from other buyers, helping customers gauge the quality and reliability of products and sellers. This wealth of information aids in building trust and making well-informed decisions.

5. Easy Access to Information:

E-commerce platforms offer easy access to a wealth of information. Detailed product descriptions, specifications, and high-resolution images are readily available, allowing consumers to evaluate products before making a purchase. Many online stores also provide customer support through various channels such as live chat, email, and FAQs, making it easier for consumers to get assistance when needed.

Disadvantages of E-Commerce

1. Security Concerns:

Despite its many advantages, e-commerce is not without its drawbacks. One of the most significant concerns is security. Online transactions can be vulnerable to fraud, hacking, and identity theft. Consumers must be cautious when entering personal and financial information, and businesses must invest in robust security measures to protect their customers.

Data privacy is another issue. Consumers are often concerned about how their personal information is collected, stored, and used by e-commerce platforms. Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and maintaining transparent privacy practices are crucial for building and maintaining customer trust.

2. Lack of Physical Interaction:

A major drawback of e-commerce is the lack of physical interaction with products. Unlike in physical stores, where customers can touch, feel, and try items before purchasing, online shopping relies on images and descriptions. This can lead to dissatisfaction if the product does not meet the customer’s expectations or if there are discrepancies between the online representation and the actual item.

Customer service in e-commerce can also be less personal compared to in-store interactions. Resolving issues such as returns, exchanges, or complaints may involve lengthy communication through email or chat, which can be less satisfying than face-to-face interactions.

3. Shipping and Logistics:

Shipping and logistics can present challenges in e-commerce. Delays in delivery, lost or damaged packages, and issues with tracking orders can be frustrating for customers. While many online retailers strive to provide efficient and reliable shipping services, problems can still arise.

Shipping costs can also be a deterrent for some consumers. While some e-commerce platforms offer free shipping, others may charge fees that add to the overall cost of the purchase. Additionally, international shipping can be complicated and expensive, which may limit the appeal of online shopping for cross-border purchases.

4. Technical Problems:

E-commerce platforms are dependent on technology, and technical issues can disrupt the shopping experience. Website downtime, glitches, and errors during the purchasing process can lead to lost sales and customer frustration. Maintaining and updating an e-commerce site requires technical expertise and resources, which can be a challenge for smaller businesses.

5. Returns and Refunds:

Returning items purchased online can be more complicated than returning items to a physical store. The return process may involve shipping the item back to the seller, which can be time-consuming and costly. Some online retailers may charge restocking fees or have specific return policies that customers need to be aware of. These factors can affect customer satisfaction and influence purchasing decisions.

Conclusion

E-commerce has undoubtedly transformed the retail landscape, offering numerous benefits such as convenience, cost-effectiveness, and a wide selection of products. The ability to provide a personalized shopping experience and easy access to information further enhances its appeal. However, the challenges associated with security, lack of physical interaction, shipping logistics, technical issues, and returns cannot be overlooked.

As e-commerce continues to evolve, addressing these disadvantages while leveraging its advantages will be crucial for businesses and consumers alike. For businesses, investing in robust security measures, improving customer service, and optimizing logistics can enhance the overall online shopping experience. For consumers, staying informed and cautious can help mitigate risks and maximize the benefits of e-commerce.

In conclusion, e-commerce represents both an opportunity and a challenge. By understanding its strengths and weaknesses, we can navigate the digital marketplace more effectively and make informed decisions in our online shopping endeavors.

[utena-fanmerch]

have you bought any utena merch (offical or not) yourself? what do you recommend 👀

Hiya Anon! Yeah, I got a few fanmerch myself, not a lot though which is part of the reason why i started this blog haha

There's this beautiful print by Laweyd, plus these charms from ICIAAAStore, I definitely recommend both! The charms are also available as enamel pins, but I got the keychains because the designs are more elaborate, and they were on sale then. ICIAAAStore may be making Adolescence designs of Utena and Anthy too, which I'm keeping an eye out for.

I might also be getting these gorgeous Nüwa pins from some server pals! Maybe they'll be back in stock one day, but otherwise they're only available through third party markets and sellers now

I also have some official merch (rip my wallet), mostly books because I'm a sucker for production art

Clockwise from the top left:

*The Hardcore of Utena: Animation Side - selection of anime, movie production art and scans of cells. Really, really nice print quality

*Art of Utena - interviews and anime production art, illustration sketches

Adolescence of Utena manga

Revolutionary Girl Utena manga vol 1-5

After the Revolution manga

*Adolescence of Utena Newtype Illustrated Collection book - some movie production sketches, more interviews, movie analysis/summary with movie screen caps, screenplay

*all text in Japanese, which I can't read

If you're interested in anime production art, I'd recommend the Hardcore Animation Side, or The Art of Utena. The latter's image quality is ok, and has more stuff to read, but most images are smaller. There's some overlap in content between all 3 art books, especially certain art from the movie, but they're different enough from each other imo

There is also The Hardcore of Utena Illustration Side book, which I don't have, which has all the finished marketing illustrations for the anime, if you're looking for those instead!

If you don't mind seeing everything digitally though, pretty much all the art here, minus the manga, are available for free on ohtori.nu

And I have the complete bluray of course, I needed it in my hands (the ribbon is for making sure the individual cases don't slip it off the box).

THIS. DEAR LORD THIS. THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE ABOUT AI.

Look I have contemplated writing an AI Analysis post coming from an actual artist's perspective SEVERAL times with the knowledge I've accumulated but rarely have the spoons to do it but I'll just do a short bit of it now.

So when something really upsets me that is happening and I have little control, I habitually do this thing where I will actively go out there and research the shit out of it. Because I've spent enough time in therapy to know the thing that scares us the most is the unknown. Make the unknown known? It becomes significantly less scary.

And I am backing it up when they say 'AI is a buzzword'. It 120% is. What the AI labelling is hiding under the world's biggest and perhaps most obfuscated umbrella-term is machine learning.

So it would probably shock you to know, by that metric we have been using AI for YEARS. Your autocomplete keyboard on your phone that remembers your words according to usage? Machine learning. Facial recognition on mobile phone cameras and facebook? Machine learning. The ALGORITHMS that have been driving a lot of my most beloathed social medias for years? MACHINE. LEARNING. Auto-generated captions on videos, reverse image searching, targeted advertising, analysis of weather systems, handwriting recognition, DNA sequencing, search engines, and of course your dynamic enemy 'AI' in videogames that has to react to your actions as a player - these are ALL products of machine learning and by that metric? You have technically been using AI for years but we just didn't call it that yet.

In my great search of understanding all things AI, what an Australian tech journalist commentator said was - we're basically calling anything 'new' in machine learning that we don't quite understand yet collectively 'AI'. And I agree 100%. The reality is AI has been with us since about the 1960s.

Hang on Chimera/Kery I hear you say, on the Wikipedia page of machine learning it says machine learning is a result of trying to build AI, not AI! Yes, but you literally cannot have the 'Intelligence' part without the machine learning part. You take out the learning and you've just got a brick of data that you can't do shit with. The intelligence part comes in when based on the data it's been fed and the responses it has gotten back from it's environment, whether that is a researcher saying yes or no, or literal environmental feedback in a robot that is learning optimal locomotion through a space - it executes actions. So again, by that metric when you whip out your phone to take a selfie and your phone starts to track where your face is? It is executing an action based on its data-set of 'what is a face'. That. Is. AI.

So everything is AI now? Yeah it's an umbrella term, that's what I said. The disparity between knowing what machine learning and AI is to the point we call specific things AI (image generation, large language models, voice generation) and other things 'not AI' (see my long list again) is down to MARKETING.

Let me take you back to the tail 'end' of the pandemic. You're OpenAI and through scraping a lot of publically available data of just people chatting or writing various things - with dubious consent - you have made a really good chat-bot. Yeah you heard me, CHAT-BOT. If you're old like me, you remember chat-bots - they're those goofy things you played with as a teenager and laughed at because it'd say silly things and it'd be funny to put two together trying to talk to each other because they'd begin spouting nonsense and getting stuck in a loop. Or they're the widely hated artificial help systems on government websites embedded in a chatbox that does jack shit. Or the annoying pop up on some website you're just trying to buy shit from and stock-image-sandra is here in a text box 'ready to help you'. Chat-bots have an image problem. You can't release ChatGPT, your fancy chat-bot as a 'chat-bot', how the hell are you supposed to get investors? You've got some really good projects on the go (with dubiously sourced data) but you're running out of money. You need to do something fast.

So you take out the AI umbrella term, and right before everyone is just about ready to leave their hermit-chronically-online-pandemic-induced lifestyles - you drop the metaphorical bomb. You hand over your tech, now with the shiny new AI label, to the public. The AI label hides the fact from the public that you're basically rebranding shit we've had forever and by keeping it purposefully murky you can (hopefully) get people to ignore the fact that you've basically pulled vast swathes of data with dubious consent because - but it's AI! It's such a superior piece of technology! We can't un-invent the wheel because the ends didn't justify the means! It could change the world!

Despite the fact it's been 'changing the world' since 1960 and the only difference here is you linked enough computers together to make it better than what was currently available. But you now have to pay electricity costs for all that tech so, out into the wild it goes!

And now you've triggered a technological arms race and the use of AI (and your bottom line) is skyrocketing! AI that was previously the domain of government and massive corporate use is now in the hands of people to play with - their personal tech literacy be dammed (no literally be dammed, the less they understand the better). And they won't want to have it taken off them - in fact they'll fight each other over the value of your chat-bot and image generator in spite of the fact you stole data to train it. So your profits keep rolling in and next minute, despite your ethos being 'open source to all' - you're getting approached by Microsoft for a partial buy in and now you're 'semi-private', whatever the hell that means. Who cares! Money!

I have so, so much more to say on all this but I'll leave it for a proper post. But the lesson of this very tl;dr history of OpenAI is this: AI is machine learning. Machine learning is a TOOL. AI is a TOOL.

And a tool is only as ethical as the hand that chooses to wield it. Artificial intelligence is neutral. It is not good. It is not bad. It is just like the knife on your kitchen bench, with all the potential of doing good and useful things like help you make dinner and also horrendous, horrible things like commit a violent crime. And who made the knife in your kitchen? Is it artisan? Handcrafted by someone well paid in their profession? Or was it mass produced in third world conditions? Now is your knife itself bad? Should we ban all kitchen knives?

AI is a marketing buzzword for shit we've had for years - this is just the shiny version that went public to get money and we all fell for it hook, line and sinker.

So I challenge you, the next time something wizz-bang-shiny-tech-whatever is placed in front of you, and maybe it's a bit scary - to do what I do. Instead of filing it into a box of good or bad, start arguments online with someone with only limited information over whether someone is 'good' or 'bad' for participating or not participating in use of this technology because it's now emotionally loaded for you - do what I do. RESEARCH IT. Understand it, deeply. Listen to commentary on it from both sides, learn about the intent of why it was handed to you and for the love of god USE SOME CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.

Because I guarantee you once you do that? Stuff will quickly become a lot less murky. You'll be able to see where your own blindspots are, and prevent them from being exploited - in this case, being taken advantage of by big corporations who are trying to pull and 'oopsie-woopsie' on unethical datasets for profit. You'll be able to hold them accountable. You'll also be less likely to get pulled into stupid arguments online about shit because you know it is way more nuanced than tech-bro putting out his big titty waifu image soup - he's small game here. Who cares about him. Go for the people at the top of this who are hoping to keep sliding on by with their rolling profits because you're too busy having fights among yourselves. Go for them and go for the fucking throat.

Any technology can be used for weal or woe, and it is entirely about the hand who wields it. Or in this case, the hand who programmed it.

If we want to continue to use AI or Machine Learning in an ethical, revolutionary manner we need to stop falling for the marketing, and hold each other accountable to uses that will continue to benefit humanity. Not pull it apart.

So yes. AI is a buzzword. Stop falling for it.

Price Action Trading

One of the most prestigious trading strategies, price action trading focuses solely on the price action itself without having to depend on indicators or more sophisticated tools. It mainly helps traders understand and make decisions based on the market sentiment using previous patterns of prices. Let's continue reading to get a glimpse into the heart of price action trading-from its base to practical strategies and how it can be a fantastic approach in the financial markets.

What is Price Action Trading? Price action trading is a form of trading that involves the analysis of historical prices for prediction and trading decisions. Compared to many technical indicators, this form of trading focuses on raw price data depicted on charts; hence, the market moves can be interpreted directly. The overall market sentiment and trend in terms of direction can be assessed by looking into various patterns encompassing candlestick formations and levels of support and resistance.

Why Traders Like Price Action: Price action trading is the favorite of all traders across the globe because it is simple and is believed to paint a "true" image of the market. Using purely price action, the trader avoids information overload and cultivates intuitive awareness about the market.

Important Concepts in Price Action Trading

Support and Resistance: Most importantly, support and resistance levels form price action, trading anchors. Support is simply a downtrend that is believed to pause at the level because of a concentration of buyers' demand. Resistance is just a level where the uptrend could pause, said to be due to selling interest.

Trend Lines: Trend lines allow a trader to see where the market is headed. Using them in price action trading, one can find points where the price would probably face support or resistance and alter its direction.

Candlestick Patterns: Candlestick patterns are significant in price action trading. The engulfing candle, pin bar, and inside bar patterns provide information regarding probable reversals and continuations in the trend of the price. The flags, head and shoulders, and triangles are also types of price patterns that most traders will be looking for from price charts. These give indications about the pattern of the market through which a trader can predict in which way the market will trend in future time frames and then trade within these structures.

Market Structure: The trends, ranges, and pullbacks within a structure provide a complete understanding of price action by relating all strategies to real-time market conditions.

Why Choose Price Action Trading? Here are some advantages why it is attractive to both novice and professional traders, respectively:

Simplicity: There is no indication of dependency on trade, thus keeping charts clean and simple. Flexibility: It can be used for any market, including forex, stocks, and commodities. Better Reaction to Markets Changes: As he trades solely on price, the trader experiences himself reading market trends, making him more sensitive to change. Common Price Action Trading Strategies

Pin Bar Strategy A pin bar is a type of candlestick pattern that has a small body and a long wick. A long wick may indicate the rejection of a price level, with possible reversal. Traders will go in the opposite direction of the wick as it depicts a turnaround.

Inside Bar Strategy An inside bar is when a smaller candle forms within the range of the previous candle. This formation says that some consolidation will occur and possibly a breakout. From the inside bar, trades are taken in the direction of the breakout and stopped back, typically to protect the trade.

Trend Following Normally, in following the trend, a price action trader would buy based on the trend because their approach involves entering the direction in which the market happens. Traders tend to make an entry with higher highs against an uptrend and lower lows for a downward movement. It then indicates a trend and follows this, which enhances the opportunity for a trade that has a high likelihood of success.

Breakout Strategy Here, traders wait for the price to break out of a specific range or level. When the price breaks through the support or resistance level, it serves as a sign of a potential strong move in that direction; thus, traders can track momentum-driven trades.

Head and Shoulders Pattern This is a reversal pattern indicating a change in trend from upward to downward (or vice versa). This has three peaks with the top middle one as the "head" while the other two are lower side ones as the "shoulders." Once the price breaks below the "neckline," it's pointing toward possible reversal and hence forms a trading opportunity.

Real-life Tips for Price Action Trading Effectiveness Simplicity. Keep the chart and purely price indicators fewer Be patient and wait for set-ups to express clearly because the nature of price action requires patience. Harsh choices are made on impulse thus causing unnecessary losses Trade majors: these critical support and resistive lines have an immense probability of price going to them and reverting. Be Disciplined: Establish a tight trading plan, and adhere to it. Price action trading performs well only when discipline is maintained. Practice Makes Perfect: Like any strategy, frequent practice helps in the perfecting of price action trading. Start off with demo trading to learn how price action works out without risking real money. Final Words on Price Action Trading Price action trading is also a very robust approach with very elementary assumptions, so you can connect with the market on a fundamental basis. With an understanding of support and resistance, candlestick patterns, and market structure, price action trading can give you full confidence in the interpretation of and forecasting of price movements.

How AI-Powered Image Recognition Can Improve Your Retail Execution

Artificial intelligence has made a beeline in almost every professional sector imaginable. While the transformation has been going on steadily, the real-time use cases in retail sectors have looked the most permissible of the lot. 

From small industries to commercial sectors, every aspect of marketing and customer service has received its fair share of “AI influence.”  And in the longer course of time, it has improved business efficiency and allowed innovative possibilities to push up. A survey has confirmed how AI has impacted business face from 2.3 billion USD in 2018 to over 23 billion USD by the time we approach 2026. This market impact is transforming rapidly with influences from key segments and features.

Image recognition is one of the features that has made a visual impact in AI today. Let us understand the concept from the base and how image recognition for retail helps.

Understanding AI Image Recognition Features

AI image recognition combines AI technology with complex algorithms that work in detecting and classifying objects in an image. In simple terms, the feature searches all the objects in the given image and extracts them using complex machine-learning techniques. 

With the help of AI image recognition, it is now possible to make searches across the internet using images that contain a product. Additionally, image recognition helps find a human face out of an image containing several people.

On the business side, AI image recognition gives out a plethora of essential visual data that can be combined with several analyses for both the present and future courses. From assisting in business decisions to improvising SKUs and segregating product stocks in the retail division, AI image recognition is opening new possibilities that derive important progress. 

Impact of Image Recognition  AI and the Advantages It Brings in the Retail Sector

The impact of AI image recognition serves to hold up the quality and consistency in retail business segments. Not just having a competitive heads-up against rival retailers, the AI IR feature eases operational efficiency for an easy business prospect. Retailers can use the technology to assess store details and check with data analysis on things that are working and not for them.

Today, there are several e-commerce and brand names that have incorporated this system to enhance their operational obligations. The result has been positive, with progress and efficient workflow. With that being said, let us dig into the in-depth advantages of using AI-powered image recognition features for retailers today.

Advantages of AI Image Recognition

AI image recognition technology has a transformative impact on the retail sector. Here are some reasons why the technology possesses benefits for both consumers and businesses:

Productive inventory management

A shop’s inventory holds the key to boosting business performance. With the introduction of AI image recognition techniques, there has been a significant improvement in how businesses have optimised and managed their inventory with ease and accuracy. 

Technology has evolved to a level where inventory management is streamlined with automation techniques. With the inclusion of AI technology, there has been a drastic improvement in the categorisation, identification, and recognition of products made using cameras and data derived using image recognition.

These factors help reduce any inventory-side problems and counting of products that would take a very long time for a human to calculate and assure top-notch efficiency. Additionally, the online entries in several databases are updated proficiently with the help of easy inventory management. 

With image recognition technology, assessing the inventory with sales and performance analysis has become a lot easier for store and retail managers. With sufficient insights and data in possession, they know what is performing and what is not.

So, now  managers can conduct in-depth analysis with a focus on predictive outcomes, on which products might be sold in a stipulated time frame. Additionally, image recognition mitigates the gap in sales loss by timely reminding of stock reinstatement in the store inventory.

It has been observed that retail divisions have benefitted from key markers, indicating the positive sales growth of product(s). This way, a retail business can improve its future performance by using up-to-date information and helpful insights to fine-tune its marketing strategies.

Prevention of counterfeit products

Counterfeit products have made a silent yet impactful presence in the retail sectors today. There have been reports made by top e-commerce platforms where products worth trillions are sold annually in the world. 

But this poses a serious problem for genuine sellers, who get fished out of their business opportunities when people get counterfeit products at a fraction of the original price.

However, AI image recognition appears to be a savior in the segment. Here, image recognition software can help in the prevention of counterfeit products in retail. It scans product images and compares them to a database of genuine items. 

This way, the software can detect differences in packaging, labeling or product details that may indicate counterfeit.

The reality of AI offering attentive outcomes cannot be disregarded. Even in retail shops, AI cameras can detect any counterfeit products in the inventory and on the shelf with precision-based analysis. 

This would save retailers from embarrassment and possible lawsuits by a consumer if they accidentally buy a counterfeit product from the shelf. 

Assisting with product placement

The key to a retail business excelling is several marketing and assessment factors that go beyond the regular marketing of a product. In fact, a product placement in a strategic location inside a store shelf could make a huge difference. With the presence of AI image recognition technology, retailers can perform the desired analysis to boost product sales. 

AI combines technology with machine learning and other complex data analysis methods to derive the assessment on several key sectors. 

Positioning of products on the shelf is an important operation that is responsible for sales. The technology takes factors like shelf positioning, visual factors, and customer preferences into account before drawing a comprehensive insight into the product arrangement. 

From learning customer behavioural aspects to their reaction to checking the products, positioning the same in shops could very well improve the retailer’s sales like never before.

In the bigger scheme of things, image recognition solutions for retail are a way to attract customers based on how they behave and approach a retail store. This is a way to boost an effective customer experience in a store.

Ease in store audits

Retail business requires a meticulous approach that takes a long time to perform manually. What’s more, with manual store audits, the inaccuracies and error rates can dock up to a significant margin if not performed properly. However, with AI image recognition, especially in FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) the entire process has received a new lease of life.

Image recognition in this case works to digitise and standardise auditing practices. The machine-led calculation and data processing make a lot easier and more accurate decision-making and enable the sales and marketing teams to strategise accurately.

In short, decision-making has become quick with improvised store audits and products, brands, and SKUs are getting moved faster than ever before. 

After the process, managers can lighten the load on employees by reducing their involvement in this tiring task. Thus, they can let them focus on customer service. With all these technology-driven store audits, employees in retail would ultimately benefit the most.

Staying up to date and showcasing efficiency

Artificial intelligence combines technology with several other related concepts, such as machine learning and data. The combination allows image recognition to work efficiently and offers accurate visual data. Retailers have come up with positive responses where technology offers accurate and fast insights, which saves both time and manpower. 

Combining the factors of inventory management, placement of products and SKUs, and working on several other key insights allows the stakeholder to make informed and well-articulated store decisions. The probability of higher sales and enhanced customer satisfaction would definitely improve as a result.

AI is a component that’s always considered in business analytics. Therefore, retailers who are planning to expand their businesses can consider analysing the potential based on data and insights.

One of the biggest takeaways of AI is the continuous learning ability of the technology and remaining up to date with current modules. This allows image recognition technology to improve over time and offer more accurate data than ever before. 

The technology updates with the current customer behavioural pattern, which often changes from time to generation. Keeping up with current preferences and newer market potential, image recognition works wonders for businesses planning to grow bigger.

Final Words

Artificial intelligence-led image is here to stay. Companies and retail brands of both small and large market sizes are using the technology that revolutionises how the world has changed with the inclusion of machine learning and AI in businesses. From arranging inventory to product placement and counterfeit product prevention, AI image recognition for retail execution is set to make lives a lot easier for the staff while giving the stakeholders key results of business performance. With the growth potential looking better than ever, AI image recognition might even grow to a whole new level in the coming future.
