Pro tip: use Nightshade on everything you upload online (not only your art), social media pictures, daily photos about your meal, family, puppies, kittens, random selfies and street shots - and let the game begin.

Hey midjourney, FYI: if a person alters, conceals, falsifies, or destroys evidence with the intent to interfere with an investigation, it is a criminal offense.
Midjourney has now restricted access to their Google doc that showed a massive list of nearly 5,000 artists they scraped or intended to. And this is after a chat was outed between two MJ employees and a Stability employee discussing laundering data and destruction of evidence.

When people, who work for Midjourney, say that Glaze doesn't work and don't use it, then you can be sure as hell it's working JUST fine, and that irritates and annoys them ◠‿◠

So if they handpicked these 16,000 artists then they had their names, right? why did not they contact them to ask permission or offer compensation?
Answer: because David never meant to ask permission.

Obviously, they wouldn't care who used the tool or not if Glaze was ineffective. ;} Which means they try really, really hard to discourage us for a reason.

If AI learns exactly like a human then why didn't you just learn like AI does? And make images like the AI does? if it’s the same process then you don’t need ai at all.
…yea i know. it’s not the same, is it?

Interesting thread. Makes me wonder how these watermarked/copyrighted images got into Laion dataset in the first place? They didn't give a f, i guess.
Also, the private photos about KIDS in the database raise a lot of questions about their mental state.
It's wild to browse through the LIAON dataset (which big generative AI models like Stable Diffusion are trained on) and see how many images are labeled with a watermark or a copyright notice.

The end of AI begins with this post. ;)
By now, I'm guessing most have already seen the news on our new project, Nightshade. Lots of artists sharing it, but here's the article from MIT Technology Review (thank you to the wonderful

well, you are wrong. AI can’t create new thing from scratch. it does not “learn” like human does. i know it’s hard to understand but AI doesn’t have neither emotions, nor intent to create.

i don’t understand how you can put “AI” and “creativity”, “authenticity” and “ownership” in the same sentence. AI doesn’t have any of them.

However,

It usually happens, when the snake is stressed, confused (unable to tell its own tail apart from potential prey), or hungry.

we need to find a way to protect junior artists from being misjudged - thanks to ai, again:/
An Art Director I spoke to 3 weeks ago said he wouldn't hire a Concept Artist with a portfolio posted online after 2020.
Paraphrased: "How can you judge someone's creativity, problem-solving, or critical thinking when you can fake it?"
Anyone else feel conflicted?

Let's create a whitelist category for those companies that have shown that they stand by artists in word and deed.
Out here collecting corporate statements like Pokémon cards. Keep telling them how you feel about unethical AI, it makes a difference.
Also note that Maxon is the only company here to issue an ACTUAL apology, so good on them.

Come scrape us, AI 😘
Thank you Ben, Shawn & the team 😊
Today is the day. Nightshade v1.0 is ready. Performance tuning is done, UI fixes are done.
You can download Nightshade v1.0 from
Please read the what-is page and also the User's Guide on how to run Nightshade. It is a bit more involved than Glaze
