#protect your artists!!!

[hallowpen]

[X] This pretty much sums it up...

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

the shittiest human art will always be leagues better than the best ai "art". a child's finger paintings and macaroni crafts will always be better than a computer's subpar attempt at recreating the starry night. your stick figures and smiley faces will always surpass an algorithm's bastardized boticelli painting. the most mediocre hallmark movie will always be better than whatever bullshit sora churns out. the most cringeworthy "i'm 14 and this is deep" notes app poetry will always be better than whatever chatgpt can come up with. always

GLAZE 2.0 IS OUT TODAY FOR DOWNLOAD! Go protect your art!

NEW: Glaze 2.0 (Apr 14) We are excited to announce the release of version 2.0 of Glaze. This new version significantly improved Glaze robustness against the newest AI models, and requires less time to glaze images. Most notably:

Significantly improved robustness against Stable Diffusion 1, 2, SDXL, especially for smooth surface art (e.g. anime, cartoon).

Less noticeable modification to images, addressed non-convergent patch artifacts

Improved computational efficiency on most platforms (~ 50% speed up)

Built in Mac GPU support -- Over 5X speed up on Mac M-CPUs.

Here's a lil comic strip about how you can protect your art before sharing it to the public!!!

Against AI and against art theft too!

Click on 'read more' to see the extra tip I mentioned at the end!

Geez been working on this since the Meta AI things blew up but I only finished just now!!

Here's the extra tip I mentioned at the end:

you can use http://haveibeentrained.com to search for your images and find out if your work has been used for AI.

In there, you can choose to opt out, but AI companies are not obligated to respect it so it isn't too much of a protection unfortunately 😭

Also be aware that they are associated with AI and they did try to badmouth glaze so artists wouldn't protect themselves; which's very bad for a company that allegedly are on the side of the artists.

Also!!! There's a new type of AI that I was just made aware of last week, Copainter.

It completes unfinished work, which can be used for 'stealing and claiming it theirs', so put a cat picture in the next wips you post as well!

Funny protective measure I know LOLLLL but here's the tests for yall cynical people:

Perhaps I'll complete this comic with this info one day, but just these 10 slides took a looot of work so probably not happening anytime soon 😭

Thank you for reading everything though, I really appreciate it and hope this will help 🫶 be careful out there, privacy issues have been crazy recently!!!

Like always, it was funnier in my head 😔

He's going through it alright 💀

Oh and look! I'm trying to draw backgrounds!

I hate it so far, but practice makes perfect 🤷‍♀️

Hey everyone,

Today is the last day to possibly opt out of Meta (Facebook/Instagram)'s AI program and there is a way to opt out if you are trying to protect your data privacy.

Please do what you can to save your art and data before it's too late. Edit/Update: It may not be applicable to the US because people living in Europe have the direct ability to opt out-- but US citizens can still submit the form for consideration.

"ship dynamic like this"

oomf said on twitter with picture of a black & white dove (I think she's on tumblr too, what's your @ here pls I forgot 💀)

ofc it's GaHan, I said in my head then I couldn't resist making this sketch— I forgot to include the cross necklace 🥹 I'll repost this complete w/ the necklace on my upcoming sfw gahan fanarts

i always wonder what katsuki’s letter said… but what if he had found it too soon?

what if katsuki had been all that stood between izuku and his self imposed isolation?

would he have understood, and let him go, or begged him to stay?

they’re both so stubborn i could see it going both ways.

“call your mom” by noah kahan reminds me of them and this situation so deeply, i’ll have to animate it soon.

“And only love will remain…” (“Every feeling” by Ezra Furman)

Thank you, @dranna for this beautiful drawing of Severus for my 40th birthday. I love it so much! 🖤🥹

I'm gonna feel every feeling in the book tonight

Fuck the hurt Fuck the pain Fuck the panic Fuck the hate

I wanna feel every feeling in the book tonight

And only love

Only love and happiness will remain Only love and happiness will remain

I wanna feel every feeling in the book tonight

Fuck the panic Fuck the hurt

Fuck the sadness Fuck the shame

I'm gonna feel every feeling And only love

Only love will remain Only love will remain
