A rite of passage for all trans women.

This should go without saying as well but, womens issues is not fully encapsulated in this comic. Its a light hearted way to talk about it, but it is infinitely more nuanced, systemic, and difficult to discuss than a 10 panel mini comic will allow.

Women are more than these problems, and these problems are not all that women face.

Also i see all these wonderful asks your all so sweet, ill be getting to them soon.

IN A WORLD WHERE BEAUTY AND ATTRACTIVENESS HAVE BECOME SO COMMONPLACE AND MUNDANE THE EXCEPTIONAL UGLINESS HAS BECOME DIVINE

I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR AND THEY COMPARED IT TO A UNUSUAL UGLY LITTLE VEHICLE AND ITS STRANGENESS WAS FAR MORE CAPTIVATING THAN THE SLEEK BORING CAR THE AD WAS ACTUALLY FOR

BEAUTY IS FINITE, UGLINESS IS INFINITE LIKE GOD

an angle i enjoy in cosmic/eldritch horror is when, instead resorting to the old classic “the horrors being so incomprehensible that they break your brain and drive you mad” cliché, the premise is that in comprehending the horrors you are so changed by the experience that your new state is indistinguishable to an outside observer from madness. you comprehend the unknowable just fine, but actually communicating that to anyone else is impossible because they just don’t have the mental framework required to understand it. the eldritch horrors don’t drive you mad. what does is the ordinary everyday horror of finding yourself isolated, ridiculed and doubted at every turn, no matter how hard you try to make yourself heard and understood.

This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. 

MIT Technology Review

New anti-AI tool from the team developing Glaze that looks to poison prompts and ruin data sets entirely.

The tool can go so far as to trick AI into generating things it didn’t ask for. 50 “poisoned” images of dogs into a data set yield typical errors companies have been working to get rid of: weird proportions, extra limbs, etc. When they added 300 samples, it was drastic enough to make a data set that was trained to generate “dogs” into “cats” making the tool basically useless.

It’s not out yet, but they’re adding it to Glaze and they intend on making it open source.

Welcome to the age of the AI arms race.
