  still, i’m shocked to read that his survival instincts wouldn’t overcome his conditioning. that doesn’t happen by accident, his captor knew what he was doing.

  Mr Bin Omran told his rescuers he had at times seen his family from his prison, but claimed he had been unable to call out for help “because of a spell that his captor had cast on him”, local media reported.

  i uh… huh.

  i don’t know what he had to say about/toward voyager, personally. ‘the record’ as far as anyone who’s paid attention is concerned is pretty clear about who’s in the right and who’s a libelous, manipulative fuckwad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit moderator rebellion: AI moderation is part of the solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  the short answer is that only a few apps were willing to play ball, and reddit corp was able to walk back their initial (untenable) terms to a point where they could keep those apps afloat.

  the long answer is that during the course of these ‘negotiations’, huffman publicly libeled the shit out of christian which forced christian to defend himself against the accusations by releasing recordings, and none of this is conducive to a healthy working relationship. neither christian nor huffman have any desire to work with one another at this point, so they don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Zhao’s team also developed Glaze,

  from the article, so it’s likely they run on similar principles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yes to me it read like it was manipulating metadata somehow, not the images themselves, but the article directly contradicts that. and that would be useless as soon as someone saves it as a flat image file or screenshots and cuts it out. i’m assuming for this tool to work it needs to be changing the image directly through some sort of watermark-like system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  this seems interesting, but how does it actually work? “invisible changes to the pixels” is vague and the article does not go into more detail of the actual method of manipulation or the ways that an invisible input can affect visible changes in the output.
