The ArtShield team has gone above and beyond trying to make it as easy as possible to remove Shopify images from the AI dataset LAION. This isn't an "opt out request". This is "giving LAION and Stability AI the middle finger and forcibly removing your images from the dataset".

I wanted to use this image for the dataset poisoning tweet but the rest of the team wouldn’t let me But I already made it so here have a meme

Testing the new Sweeper tool with Crow 🌱 join me on Bsky (thank you)! Common Crawl scraping happens continuously over time, so older stores are more likely to have results in the dataset. How many of yours did you find?

A friend of mine is involved in this mission and the team are going above and beyond for the entire art community. If you are interested in protecting your creations, please check them out

"Prompters aren't artist, they are art commissioners"

China's new (draft) policy for #Generative #AI makes LAION 100% illegal as a dataset because of IP & privacy. China leading the way in innovation (beating the U.S.) *and* regulation (beating the EU) wasn't on my 2023 tech Bingo card! insideprivacy.com/artificial-int…

1. Okay folks...let's start understanding the talking points. Any person who you see saying "Copyright only protect mega corps and therefore is bad so we should fight against copyright law" is most likely a pro AI person who hates the idea of copyright as it takes away their toy.

WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE CONCLUSION spotify isn’t profitable due to high licensing fees from labels. but they might be trying to shift listening time from majors to generative music that costs them less to license or even MAKE in order to BE profitable musicbusinessworldwide.com/remember-spoti…

Fellow artists who sell online, I highly recommend checking to see how much of your art has been scraped for AI datasets 🫠 I just scanned my online store and it was a not-insignificant amount. It's highly annoying to have to deal with this but it costs nothing to check at least!

If you're interested in doing something about the AI companies, I want to talk directly to you all today about strategy. We have seen the AI companies meet with the White House. If you have looked at the investors for companies like OpenAI, you have also seen they are very rich

Glaze made huge improvements! Glaze prevents AI from learning your style, and it’s the best way to protect your art from AI training. Please download and check out their new release!

Glaze isn't the only anti GML/GAI tool out there, there is also ArtShield 🛡️ Beta. Feel free to try their method out as well, with or without Glaze, the former is recommended by both dev teams.

Whoa! US citizens, tell Sleepy Joe what you think about AI before tomorrow!!! This slipped under the radar! We must activate Dark Brandon!

Hi all! We've been busy on Glaze related projects. Happy to announce that webglaze, the Glaze web service is now ready for new users. If you already have a GPU and it works well, then please keep using that. If you have a mac, or no GPU or no computer even, webglaze can help. 🧵
