Cryptid AU in the making

[klyoma2]

I remembered that he's actually one of my favorite characters

[seadeepspaceontheside]

Doesn't matter what AU, Jesus and Crowley are hanging out and being the best pals. In this case its far more often and right infront of Aziraphale because Raphiel/Tabris/Shamsiel/Lailah isn't barred because they aren't a demon. Unfortunately for him though because he's not a demon, doesn't get good wine in this reality...and UNFORTUNATELY for Aziraphale he has not be jealous of the son of god. Meanwhile in our universe

Thinking more about Gerald’s lasting impact on Shadow.. Spending your life caring for and trusting someone deeply just to have their last actions being used to knowingly manipulate and harm you leaves difficult feelings

Sonic headcanons

Sonic has a house, hidden away in some place he’s never shown anyone, not even Tails. He rarely visits it, and the house is full of ‘‘junk’’ from his adventurous , such as his soap shoes from SA2, both of the books from the storybook games, Chip’s neck bracelet thing and so on.

Sonic carries a camra where ever he goes.

Sonic can hold his liquor quite well compared to his tiny size.

Sonic is taller then shadow bc. Shadows shoes have heals so with out them sonic is tecnelly taller.

Sonic is actually introverted.

Sonic has adhd and insominia.

Sonic is multilunguel.

Sonic was seletcive mute as a child, and now as a teen when he gets really stressed/scared or overwhelmid he stops speaking completely.

Sonic knows sign langoue.

Sonic hates physical contact and ralerey ever does/alows someone to do it.

Sonic and Sally are still very close but only as friends. And Sally is very bussieie with her work as princess.

Sonic swears like a fcking sailor, but due to the fact most of his friends are younger than him(exp. Tails/Cream) or dislikes swearing he doesn’t swear in front of them.

Sonic is claustrphopic.

Sonic is so fcking  bi.

Sonic can sing and play guitar.

Sonic loves to draw and wright in a journal he brings with him all over.

Sonic wrights songs but is too insecure to show them to anyone.

Sonic loves reading books, espcillay classic literature and true crime/crime.

Sonic has a very dark sense of humor.

If sonic wore pants he would 100% wear bright red booty shorts. 

Sonic was homeless as a kid so he pickpocket a lot, and sadly that has become a small habit that he trying to stop.

Sonic can actually be really scary if you push the right buttons.

If Sonic was human his natural hair color would be dark brown.

Sonic is left handed.

Sonic has this ongoing joke to tell people his birthday is different dates.

Sonic has claws and he paints them colurfull all the times, he also lets Cream paint them.

The reason Sonic always takes naps is bc he dosent sleep probarleyer .

Sonic has the worst eyesight out off all the cast, he needs classes but they break when he runs so he just dosent wear them, and only Tails know he needs them.

Sonic due to living alone in the wild since a younge age, loves to eat bugs. The others are grossed out by this except Knuckles who also grew up eating bugs.

Sonic hates coffe but loves energy drinks.

Glaze is out!

Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

Art thieves already hate it:

[fierceawakening]

Dude, if you're stealing, you deserve to have the data poisoned. Because you could have asked and you didn't.

GLAZE: Protecting Artists from Style Mimicry by Text-to-Image Models

Recent text-to-image diffusion models such as MidJourney and Stable Diffusion threaten to displace many in the professional artist community

[sliceosunshine]

A bit of a TLDR for some questions I saw in the notes:

The team that created Glaze is from the University of Chicago. Their names are each listed in full on the Glaze download website. (This group of students/professors did this for their SPRING BREAK 😱 so go give them some love lol)

It is free to download. No, they won’t ask for or raise money from/for this project.(stated by one of the lead professors of the project).

Glaze is designed to protect artists’ STYLE--which a bunch of ai people have been deliberately fine-tuning their models to mimic (and specifically of current living artists--small or big).

It currently does not protect against composition/trace-like theft (as seen when run through img-to-img) but that would be protected by copyright anyway while STYLE is not.

The University Team has stated that they are dedicated to continuing to improve the tool, like fixing bugs (like overheating older computers by taking up lots of energy when Glazing--it currently runs on CPU so they’re trying to change that to GPU, I believe) and expanding the type of protection given to artists (like working against img-to-img theft).

It currently only works directly on your computer (phones not advised due to current overheating issue, no tablets, or iPads, and no website runthrough since that would be insecure to breaches/scraping/hacks)

It currently works best on painterly artwork, but can still be used on other forms (team is working on improving this)

IT WORKS BY calculating the changes each image needs for the best protection against style theft by AI, and adds tiny changes throughout the piece, so that your style will, for example, confuse the ai into seeing van gogh. But the ai thieves will see a regular image in your style, feeding it into their model labeled as your work (thus starting the “data poisoning”).

Do not post the original unGlazed piece of your artwork after posting your Glazed version (obviously)

The Team worked directly with over 1,000 artists that were being impacted by the ai theft. Because the team listened to those artists, Glaze accounts for regular art thieves too (i.e. Glaze can’t be removed/cropped etc. like signatures or watermarks when reposted. It’s just part of the image, so even if it ends up on another site and scraped, the Glazing is still in effect)

When you run your artwork through Glaze, no information is sent back to the Team. (Aka, no scraping on their part. The app receives information from the Team (like updates) but no information from you is given to them through the app. Basically Team servers ---> You and NOT Team servers <--->You) One-way data street.

Brief misunderstanding happened over an open-source license for the front-end part of the app. (Used open-source coding for front-end, not knowing that code’s use-license states it is only for other open-source uses, not closed-source (the back-end code of the app is private to prevent counter-counter measure developments)). The Team took down the app until they replaced the front-end code with code written from scratch by the team. They are now not in violation of that open-source license since they are no longer using it. (you have 30 days to remedy a license breach once informed; they did so in 2)

The Team is currently in touch with Japanese artists to better expand the tool for use to protect their art styles

From what I understand of it, Glaze is an AI tool designed to be anti-AI (Think Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: one Terminator robot vs. all the other Terminators 😂)

You can download it from their website and also contact them through email there with any questions, problems, or bugs. The website: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/

reblogging this every fucking time it comes across my dash

[floorbeastie]

if i had a nickel for every time i shipped a powerful, spunky short guy with a questionable moral compass who can't swim with a "evil" copy paste version of themselves who is really just an edgy antihero with a darker color palette (and they fight flirt + the ship name starts with s) i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice right?

[katsettee]

Yea

[turtleblogatlast]

Love the thought of Leo and Mikey teaming up their mystic abilities to prank archeologists and historians

Leo makes a portal then within that, Mikey opens a very very small time portal of his own

They toss something in and excitedly wait for the results of the dig-site right where Leo had set his portal to

Cue mass confusion as the archeologists wonder what the hell a 1000+ year old Lou Jitsu figurine is doing in the ruins of an ancient city all the while Mikey and Leo laugh themselves unconscious

Playing The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog without having any context for who the characters are is such an emotional rollercoaster. 90% of my Sonic knowledge came from cultural osmosis and an anime I watched as a child, and now I'm being introduced to these characters at a birthday party and they're all insane. The lizard is a ninja who can read my mind, the cat is a princess from another dimension, and the bat just tried to rob me.
