Fair enough, though there aren’t any bulletproof solutions for this. I am inclined to think the solution would be with encryption and security and not so much altering the images themselves. Fuck AI, corporate greed and the uselessly slow legal system.
I haven’t, I’ve only heard of Nightshade and Glaze as promoted on Cara but it’s not what you describe
They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.
The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.
That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.
These headlines, sometimes…

Thanks, that was a good read. FB is so disgusting. Had I known a tool like this existed I may have stayed. I haven’t used for at least 5 years, but I kept the messenger lite app to stay in touch with people via chat. They killed the app and that was it for me. The feed is garbage. Meta is garbage.
I’ve read the ars article linked too, and I think this attitude is so petty- most people aren’t power users or inclined to customise their social media/browser experience. The amount of people who would use the tool would be minimal in comparison with the majority who happily eats their feed without question. Meta is greed incarnate.
I’m extremely OOTL with this, and now, intrigued
Eh not that it’s crystal clear to me but the winner actually looks much more realistic in terms of what’s achievable for real humans than the runner ups. I think there is some sort of merit in the clout category, all participants already have a media presence which for better or worse means they drive some engagement. I’m not saying it has virtue though.
I take it as a silly competition. A just because you can thing.
This looks really cool, looking forward to the spider version
Pardon my ignorance but I’m OOTL- why is substack a bad thing? ( I didn’t know of its existence before this post)
It’s only been one year. I’d like to see how this topic aged in 2026. AI is developing at an unprecedented speed for a socioeconomic phenomenon of its calibre.
Edit: And yes we might need some kind of government support. What scares me is, where do you get the money to support such a large population?
Couldn’t agree more, you make a point with the timeline. It’s changing too fast. And it’s not only ChatGPT but also image generation tools such as Midjourney. There are AI for 3D models too now, which I believe will be of industry standard quality in a year or two.
AI is a phenomenon of a similar weight as the Industrial Revolution, but its much faster development means a lot of people can’t keep up or change careers
You are right but the problem here is it’s happening all at once on several fields. It’s not just elevator operators, it’s anyone doing basic design tasks, writing, translating, voice narrating, and basic programming. And that’s a lot of jobs.
To those saying “don’t use Google photos”: can google access/use my photos on my phone even of they are stored locally without backup or sync turned on?
That’s true, however note that credibility comes attached to personal identity, as the text mentions in the last paragraph. A newspaper isn’t a person, articles are written by different journalists- however when a media shows a majority of bogus articles they quickly lose credibility too
Wasn’t it that Microsoft hired him already???
Nothing to see here, move along, just another day
They might go up but I’d be surprised it will rival Skyrim. I’m a Skyrim fan, yet I’m not enticed to play Starfield for reasons beyond me. It feels like it’s lacking something and I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t believe mods would make much of a difference, but who knows, maybe I’m wrong.
I modded Skyrim (and Oblivion) because the vanilla game was exciting already, in spite of its flaws. I couldn’t be bothered otherwise.
Yup indeed it’s very annoying right now :(
I knew the onion is old, but didn’t imagine they would keep a website with old articles still up!
I’ve had Proton for a while, I’m satisfied, would recommend.
Previously I used to use Nord, but ever since… Uh I forgot what they did. They changed headquarters? Disclosed something they shouldn’t? Somebody here will correct me and point out what happened.
Anyway, Proton 👍
