Look we have records of Medieval Knights crying out in their sleep, having emotional outbursts or flinching at the sound of clashing metal. We have records of people all through history who were treated badly by people who should have loved them, and having problems knowing who to trust. We have years worth of artists putting their human pain at broken hearts and broken promises into music that makes us cry.

Yes people have been traumatized by awful things for all of history and just like them You didn’t deserve to be hurt either.

Thought about my fake little people for a bit too long now I have illnesses of the brain

starting off with a banger at #1: 🙂

then at #2, the classic: 🤨

ok now at #3: 😳

at #4 i couldn’t forget: 🧐

then at #5 we got the famous: 😏

at #6, literally how could zuko say no: 🥺

at #7 we have the adorable: ☺️

i think about this one everyday, at #8: 😁

now my personal favorite at #9:

need a hang in there cat poster on the wall in front of my toilet. or conversely an abandon hope all he who enter here sign on the bathroom door. maybe both

what would the gaangs powerpoint night presentations be

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

“Pants were invented for men” not according to my ancestors.

Pants were invented for riding horses. People who didn’t have nomad horse culture all wore dresses. Dress wearing old greek men considered pants to be the mark of barbarism. Like the Scynthians and Samaritans.

Also- the Scynthian and Samaritan tribes were known for equality between genders. Where women were renouned hunters and archers. They are where the greeks got the idea for Amazons.

So sorry bro pants are totally for women. You just mad its for riding something that’s not you.

Okay but like based on genital structure, it would actually make sense for mean to wear skirts and women pants, why are we even talking about logic

the scottish did it right

The Scottish did it to hide more knives

Glaze is out!

Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

Art thieves already hate it:

Dude, if you're stealing, you deserve to have the data poisoned. Because you could have asked and you didn't.

The link is only in the original post inside an image, not as text, so here it is as plain text: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/ and the paper about how it works: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04222

As links (because some of us are on mobile and can't easily copy and paste to our browser), those are:

A bit of a TLDR for some questions I saw in the notes:

The team that created Glaze is from the University of Chicago. Their names are each listed in full on the Glaze download website. (This group of students/professors did this for their SPRING BREAK 😱 so go give them some love lol)

It is free to download. No, they won’t ask for or raise money from/for this project.(stated by one of the lead professors of the project).

Glaze is designed to protect artists’ STYLE--which a bunch of ai people have been deliberately fine-tuning their models to mimic (and specifically of current living artists--small or big).

It currently does not protect against composition/trace-like theft (as seen when run through img-to-img) but that would be protected by copyright anyway while STYLE is not.

The University Team has stated that they are dedicated to continuing to improve the tool, like fixing bugs (like overheating older computers by taking up lots of energy when Glazing--it currently runs on CPU so they’re trying to change that to GPU, I believe) and expanding the type of protection given to artists (like working against img-to-img theft).

It currently only works directly on your computer (phones not advised due to current overheating issue, no tablets, or iPads, and no website runthrough since that would be insecure to breaches/scraping/hacks)

It currently works best on painterly artwork, but can still be used on other forms (team is working on improving this)

IT WORKS BY calculating the changes each image needs for the best protection against style theft by AI, and adds tiny changes throughout the piece, so that your style will, for example, confuse the ai into seeing van gogh. But the ai thieves will see a regular image in your style, feeding it into their model labeled as your work (thus starting the “data poisoning”).

Do not post the original unGlazed piece of your artwork after posting your Glazed version (obviously)

The Team worked directly with over 1,000 artists that were being impacted by the ai theft. Because the team listened to those artists, Glaze accounts for regular art thieves too (i.e. Glaze can’t be removed/cropped etc. like signatures or watermarks when reposted. It’s just part of the image, so even if it ends up on another site and scraped, the Glazing is still in effect)

When you run your artwork through Glaze, no information is sent back to the Team. (Aka, no scraping on their part. The app receives information from the Team (like updates) but no information from you is given to them through the app. Basically Team servers ---> You and NOT Team servers <--->You) One-way data street.

Brief misunderstanding happened over an open-source license for the front-end part of the app. (Used open-source coding for front-end, not knowing that code’s use-license states it is only for other open-source uses, not closed-source (the back-end code of the app is private to prevent counter-counter measure developments)). The Team took down the app until they replaced the front-end code with code written from scratch by the team. They are now not in violation of that open-source license since they are no longer using it. (you have 30 days to remedy a license breach once informed; they did so in 2)

The Team is currently in touch with Japanese artists to better expand the tool for use to protect their art styles

From what I understand of it, Glaze is an AI tool designed to be anti-AI (Think Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: one Terminator robot vs. all the other Terminators 😂)

You can download it from their website and also contact them through email there with any questions, problems, or bugs. The website: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/

wow…

just wow

Reblogging this EVERY TIME I see it from now until the day that I die, which won’t be any time soon; we’ve got a war to win

I am rebloggingg it every time I see it cause fuck you bitches Gen Z can and will win the war

people don’t talk about emotional dysregulation enough.

imagine overreacting to almost every situation [whether it’s positive or negative] and knowing you’re overreacting but your feelings are so intense that they force themselves out of you and you look like you’re being super fucking dramatic.

you get excited about something and you get way too loud, you jump up and down like a child. people look at you funny because what the hell are you doing?

you get angry and it’s so intense that you feel like the only way to make it stop is to break everything. you grab something and throw it out of your way, slam things down on the counters. you feel like the anger will never end, and then when it does you’re painfully aware of how unnecessary all that was.

you get stressed out and you’re angry, you’re crying, you’re making a huge deal out of absolutely nothing. you move past the thing you were stressed about and it was easy as shit.

you’re constantly aware of how over the top your reactions are but are completely powerless to tone them down. it’s exhausting living while being controlled by your emotions.

gotten to the point in my hyperfixation where i start having dreams about and in the animation style of miraculous ladybug. the catch is they’re just as ridiculous as my regular dreams except everything is animated. help me

For the softest arsonist <3

good evening tumblr! for the low low price of $4.20 i will give you a fact that will ruin your night!

this was not my fact, and i am livid that it actually does make sense from an evolutionary standpoint (as it makes other male llamas sterile thus reducing competition). congratulations tumblr you have successfully ruined MY night 

the fact i was GOING to share, interestingly enough, also has to do with animal genitalia:

here is a photo of a blue whale penis mounted on a plaque, have a nice evening ♥

#for $6.66 i will give you one awful Premium fact that is directly related to the whale penis fact but is actually so much worse

pleasure doing business with ya. your fact is: the above photo was taking at the Icelandic Phallological Museum aka the

which houses the world’s largest display of penises (most of them non-human). yes this is a real place that exists, and is a popular tourist destination. and yes, many of the…exhibits have been mounted on plaques, for reasons best left unexplored

oh! here is a non-dehydrated blue whale. fun fact: the first photo was “just the tip!”

#and for one final payment of $6.66 i will give you ONE LAST BUT BY FAR THE MOST HORRENDOUS FACT about blue whale penises#much worse than the fact that a penis museum exists and has multiple whale penises on display

and here is your final Awful and Horrendous Whale Penis Fact:

whale penises were probably mistaken for sea monsters

nope, i’m not kidding. wish i was. whale penises do indeed very much resemble giant monstrous tentacles when spotted in the wild. at least some “sea monsters” sightings were probably just…whale boners. which i hate. i hate that so much.

and because today wasn’t bad enough: here is a sperm whale penis!

and HERE is a photo of a man holding a $6,000 5-and-a-half foot stuffed version!

hope you enjoyed this post! i didn’t!!!!

Can we roll it back to the dick museum…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MOST

THAT’S the part you focus on? Seriously?????

please I’m so tired

To answer the reblog about human penises

They are still looking

aren’t we all, metaphorically in life, looking for a younger and a bigger and a better one though

what. what what WHAT:

#Didn’t they also used to turn whale penises into aprons on whaling ships?#Well the foreskin into an apron specifically#Because it was about 6 feet long#Heavy and quite weatherproof#And readily available if the ship was at all successful obvi

FREE PILLOW FIGHTS!

I love that most people once they realized what was happening just went full Berserk mode without a care

also the man dropping his walking cane to have an anime like elder master reveal

This wonderful human is bringing so much joy into the world. He’s reminding people they’re allowed to play. That they can be silly in public. That fun can come in unexpected places and at unexpected times. I wish I knew who he was. I’d donate so he could buy more pillows and bring more fun into the world - once it’s safe enough to.
