Some artists suggested that we pin a summary of Glaze, Nightshade & other projects here. Instead, I will point them to Melissa Heikkilä's article on our lab and projects. It is the definitive story of who we are, how we got here, and why we do what we do.

The AI lab waging a guerrilla war over exploitative AI
The tools Glaze and Nightshade are giving artists hope that they can fight back against AI that hoovers internet data to train. Are they enough?

I wanted to provide a thread here of some of the things I've been involved with in the fight against unethical generative AI for easy reference, starting with my work with @GaryMarcus.bsky.social. Our article shows irrefutable evidence of blatant plagiarism 🧵

Outlawing bank robbery will kill the bank robbing industry.
The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

If your industry (AI) can only exist by ripping the work of others without credit, then it shouldn't exist.
The big companies are just steamrolling over the rights of everyone because they're getting away with it. Governments have been cowardly to act on this.

“I agree with Nick.”
Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again?
Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.
