In my heart I still know that Gretchen with all her true crime weird girl energy, Zach with his filmmaking skills and Claire with her literal ability to get cut open and have limbs torn off without being harmed are out there being gay and making low budget slasher movies together in the woods. I know this to be true it was revealed to me in a vision

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.

Katsuki loved it when his pregnant wife fussed over him.

Before your pregnancy, you were already mothering him in the most endearing way, and Katsuki secretly adored it. Paparazzi would snap photos of you at galas, carefully adjusting his suit or making sure he had extra cufflinks, even in the rarest of situations. At home, as a stay-at-home wife, you greeted him with the warm smell of homemade food.

A single unwashed spoon could set you off, and you'd huff and complain in a way that reminded him of his mother. Katsuki couldn’t help but chuckle at your antics.

As your pregnancy progressed, those little quirks only grew. One day, Katsuki forgot his lunch at home. Realizing his mistake, he was already planning to drive back and eat there, checking in on you while he was at it.

But before he could leave, the door to his office suddenly swung open. You waddled in, lunch in hand, and a stern look on your face.

"You forgot your lunch, Kats." You handed it to him, your voice firm. "I spent all that time making it, so I had the chauffeur drive me here."

Katsuki stood there, amused, grinning at the sight of you, hands on your hips as you walked over to his desk.

"You’re becoming more forgetful. I mean, shouldn’t I be the forgetful one? Maybe you need to get to bed earlier—seven o’clock, no excuses.” You rambled, still keeping up the little rant as you went about straightening up things on his desk, things Katsuki had long stopped caring about.

Katsuki smirked as he leaned back in his chair, watching you. “Mama, do your heels not hurt? You want to sit for a minute?”

“Nope. I just sat the whole way here. I’m getting some exercise while I’m at it." You didn’t miss a beat, fixing his papers and checking over the office. “And don’t change the subject,” you added, your stern expression still locked in place as you finally looked him in the eye.

Katsuki chuckled and pushed himself out of his chair. He walked over to you, pulling you into his arms. "I’m sorry, Mama. I won’t forget again."

Leaning down, he kissed you, grinning when you melted into his embrace. Pulling back, you smiled at him, but then your eyes flicked to the lunch he’d almost forgotten on his desk.

“Okay, but you’re still sleeping at seven from now on," you added, your tone soft but resolute.

Siblings Behavior

It's shenanigans time guys

So have this DpxDc idea.

So, the Justice League and the Light (OR villains in general) have two newish members, they've both been around for about a year and they're from the same plane of existence (a place called the Infinite Realms according to those who dabble in the occult)

And the two seem to have some serious beef with each other.

Wisp and Wrath are basicly feral cats hissing and hekles raised when they spot the other and their fights normally ends in draws. They're evenly matched and sometimes the two even fight to the point they are out of steam and just fist fight.

Needless to say everyone believes they totally hate each other and might one day kill (or end?) One of them.

So everything gets turned upside down when suddenly both factions of heros and villains are suddenly summoned to the Infinite Realms.

In a throne room.

In front of the Infinite King (or most commonly known as the Ghost King)

A King who looks very, very much like Wisp and Wrath (like yeah the two do sometimes look alike, like when they grin with sharp teeth and their hair color, but one has blue skin and red eyes for crying out loud!)

He's staring at them, glowing green eyes that seemed to just... know.

"Welcome to the Infinite Realms. I am King Phantom." His voice echoing in the throne room and seemed to rattle them deeply, like a sudden chill in the early morning.

"I have summoned you all here for a single reason." He continued to say "Tell me..."

Here he paused, closed his eyes before leaning back on the chair then he smiled big and cheerfully asked.

"How are my kids doing in your world? Dan and Ellie aren't causing too much chaos in their wake are they? They tend to go a tiny bit overboard sometimes but what siblings don't when they rough house you know. Tell me everything."

Today on the list of "good stuff that happened": I got to tell my brother about how Percy Jackson in the Son of Neptune is absolutely insane and spends basically the whole book just making the Romans go "?!"

Highlights include exploded water cannons during war games, showing up carrying a goddes and tearing apart furies with a whirlpool, mouthing off to Mars, third-wheeling/babysitting the precious young smoll inexperienced beans that are Frazel, willingly drinking Maybe Poison, and generally breaking a lot of things by Fighting Like a Greek. Continued to explain that the best part about the multiple perspectives in these books is this:

Percy: I'm a loser, lol! I have no idea what I'm doing, also everyone is cooler than me and I'd die for them! Also Annabeth is cute when she's threatening people with a knife.

Annabeth: *while planning 6 steps ahead* Percy is an idiot. Dear gods I love him so much. Such a wonderful idiot.

Literally everyone else: Percy is (one of) the most powerful demigod(s) I've ever heard of, and he gives no shits about any rules anymore. This man is scary and dangerous and I am so glad he's on my side. Annabeth is a terrifying force to behold and I can't keep up with her. I am unsure if them being so in love with each other makes it better or worse. If they ever turn evil, we are so fucked.

red feathers fan across your line of sight, blocking the television from view as keigo chirps, "hey baby, what do you wanna order for din—"

"shhhhhh."

leaning forward off of the couch, you grab keigo by the pocket of his sweatpants and tug him sideways out of the way. he blinks, letting out a small huff before unceremoniously collapsing onto the cushion beside you, face smushed against your shoulder.

"imagine if you liked paying attention to your boyfriend as much as you like watching your sho—"

"keigo!"

his wings droop, and he groans, sliding even lower to drop his head face down in your lap.

"AND NEXT UP, WE'VE GOT TODAY'S SPECIAL SEGMENT ON THE NUMBER TWO HERO...HAWKS!"

keigo perks up and rolls over, eyes darting from the footage of his skyscraper fire rescue the other day to the proud smile on your face as you stare at the screen.

his feathers ruffle, and he preens.

"you know you've got the real thing right in fron—"

this time, when you place a finger over his lips and continue to ignore him, he just rolls his eyes and grins, making himself comfortable in your lap.

Percy and Nico are so funny. Nico trusts Percy, going so far as to reassure his sister Hazel about it, yet doesn't think Percy trusts him in return. On the other hand, Percy trusts Nico enough to leave convincing Hades to him, but he also believes that Nico has lost faith in him since the time he let his other sister, Bianca, die.

There is so much trust and yet no trust at all. Absolutely spectacular.

Izuku: *walks into a Starbucks*

You: hii, there. What can I get for you, sweetie?

Izuku: hi! Can I have some banana bread?

You: of course. You know, I get off my shift in ten minutes.

Izuku: nice. Well, have a nice day! *Leaves*

Ten minutes later

Izuku: *comes back*

Izuku: it has occurred to me that you may have been interested in me

You: you're lucky I'm still into you

this idiot freaking would

I’ve never seen any shit like this before…

[si3nn4]

Katsuki loved falling asleep next to you. As the years passed, his career expanded, and with it came longer shifts. More often than not, he'd come home to find you already tucked into bed, snuggled up to the warmth of his empty spot. His heart would tug at the sight of you, watching your form rise and fall with each steady breath.

Your nose would scrunch slightly as a cool draft slipped through the door. He’d quickly shut it, then silently shed his uniform as he made his way to the bed.

You never stirred as he slid in next to you. That simple act, of you sleeping soundly without a care, filled him with a quiet sense of accomplishment. It was proof that you felt safe with him—that you trusted him enough to sleep through the night, knowing you were protected. Anywhere. Anytime.

And you were. So even though Katsuki himself struggled to unwind after a long shift, the sight of you, peaceful and unguarded, did something to him. His heart swelled, his pupils dilating as he drank in the sight of you.

By instinct, your body shifted closer to his, even in your sleep. An arm would drape over his bicep, a leg slipping naturally toward his. He couldn’t help but smile, warmth spreading through him.

One day, he’d marry you. He was certain of it. The ring was already bought, hidden away at Deku’s house because, knowing you, you’d find it if it was anywhere near your reach.

But for now, he was content with the present. With the sight of you, safe and comfortable in his bed—his penthouse—waiting for his return like a true partner.

Katsuki loved watching you fall asleep beside him. After so many years of witnessing pain and suffering, the peace of your presence was his anchor. His tense muscles would loosen as he brushed a strand of hair from your face, his eyes tracing the soft lines of your sleeping form. He memorized every detail.

In this all this silence Katsuki never looked away from you.

A DPxDC soulmate au idea

So DCverse is a soulmate world (pick any soulmate way btw, words, touch, drawings on the skin, can't see color(s) until they see or touch them, etc etc)

DPverse doesn't.

Meaning Danny wasn't born with a soulmark BUT he gets one after becoming a halfa because he is now connected to the Infinite Realms.

SO its during another one of Vlad's schemes, he's popping into different worlds and stealing things or something like that (basically like that one ep where Danny chases Vlad through the timeline after he stole Frostbite's map)

During the chase they pop out into the DCverse in one of the hero cities (pick any, not picky on which) and their fight is getting a bit out of hand (Vlad's fault, he's using the stuff he's been stealing, and Danny is doing his best to getting innocent people from getting hurt)

ANYWAYS during the fight, one of the cities hero's come to try to help/find out whats going on when Danny is hit by Vlad and gets tossed at them. The moment they either touch or Danny/Soulmate says something to the other, Danny feels the odd mark on him burn up and is MEGA confused on whats going on but decides to do what he does best.

Ignore it for now. He'd figure it out later he still needs to stop Vlad.

He apologizes to the other hero and gets back into his fight, missing the look of complete smitten awe/shock said hero had on their face.
