"Nightshade" is a tool that allows artists to subtly alter their digital artwork's pixels to disrupt #AI training sets. It causes AI model malfunctions, leading to errors like misidentifying objects. Alongside "Glaze," which masks artists' styles from AI scrapers, these tools address artists' rights and intellectual property issues in the AI industry. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1082189/data-poisoning-artists-fight-generative-ai/

So now we are here too. Why? Because we're not comfortable with current developments elsewhere, and because the Fediverse is undoubtedly a very good fit for us. We're convinced that the many visions, initiatives and prototypes from the Ars Electronica cosmos can flourish here and encourage many people to help shape a pluralistic and sustainable society. We want to and will contribute to a constructive, inclusive and inspiring discourse on Mastodon and are excited to see how things develop here!
