Hackers Target AI Users With Malicious Stable Diffusion Tool on Github to Protest 'Art Theft' (www.404media.co)

A group of hackers that says it believes “AI-generated artwork is detrimental to the creative industry and should be discouraged” is hacking people who are trying to use a popular interface for the AI image generation software Stable Diffusion with a malicious extension for the image generator interface shared on Github....

I really don’t understand this. All these search engine companies give millions of users a single button to create the most soulless art you’ve ever seen, but instead of caring about that they attack the tool that most enables the user to have control over their generation. You can argue that unlimited competition is bad for commission artists, but this attack is not “Pro Art”.

Using creative cloud isn’t a sin, but helping maintain Adobes industry stranglehold should be.

If you want to make a pie from scratch…

I’m sure there’s plenty of people that make their living (or maybe barely scrape by) off digital art that are affected by this so I can understand some touchiness. I mean why pay $100 for an account avatar or other small commissions when you can generate it yourself in one second. But also, why pay a scribe to copy an entire book by hand when a printing press does it faster? The only difference in these statements is that hand scribe wasn’t a widespread profession 5 years ago.

To me an artist is someone who uses tools to realize their vision. As technology progresses so do the tools. ComfyUI is leagues better of a tool than something like DallE will ever be, but no the entirety of “AI Generated Art” is a sin and must be attacked. Oh, not the corporate zeitgeist heisters, but instead the users of the community driven software.

Looting API keys makes way more sense. They must have been stuck using GPT2 to write that incoherent statement.

    If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers

    Pro trump is not pro Palestine.

    Ohio governor calls special session to pass legislation ensuring President Biden is on 2024 ballot (apnews.com)

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday that he is calling a rare special session of the General Assembly next week to pass legislation ensuring that President Joe Biden is on the state’s 2024 ballot....

    I forget where I read it but I think they’re pushing a republican rider with it to “outlaw foreign election money” or something. Which is funny since the biggest election interference I’ve seen was a “newspaper” I got last year, filled with disinfo and sent from Illinois. Probably from the Illinois republican billionaire that spent a boat load of money fighting weed/abortion in a state he doesn’t have any business being in.

    Maybe if you take it as written but it will always be enforced unequally. In my rural ass troop there was a very heavy christian implication from scout leaders, and my parents. They didn’t end up forcing me to say it, but it was a very uncomfortable day of adults I was supposed to be able to trust repeatedly pressuring me to publicly announce my belief and helplessness in the face of a fairy tale. Not the only day I was religiously pressured either.

    I would urge the email protocol makers to stop the rampant corporate tracking. Basically every email sender gets your location, ip, and other info when you open it.

    I’d bet facebook has a team of marketers working tirelessly to grow their fedi market share so that less informed people think of the fediverse as just a part of threads. They started their own free ISP and half the people that used it ended up thinking Facebook dot com was all there is to the internet. They’ve decided to ruin the fediverse next because by federating, they can see a ton of info about you/your account by default.

    I think the FTC should do its fucking job, but until then people should stop these huge companies from getting exactly what they want as much as possible. I see no benefit, but a major threat from a company that spies and creates hordes of ill informed users. Literally they are in the news right now for man in the middling Snapchat data. You think they won’t/haven’t started that kind of thing for fedi? They can’t train their LLMs off Snapchat half as easy as they can here.

    As an American, the churches here are pooling resources to buy politicians and hospitals in low income areas to enforce their views on abortion and gender healthcare. The church is a business and religion is the advertisement that keeps that evil funded.

    I’ve never seen the amount of pro religion comments as I’ve seen in this thread. And they’re all so… coughGPTcough….verbose.

    Trump and his base already conflate his many court cases catching up to him as the DOJ sent to stop a political rival. If Biden just pardoned the person who “stole” Trumps taxes, we’d hear about it nonstop til November.

    awesomesauce309 ,

    The guy chose to commit the crime. The republicans are looking for anything that sticks in their idiot bases brain and “Biden chooses to pardon anti trump criminal” will be on the fox or oan scroll until it’s burned into their eyes. Pardoning is Biden’s option, but if he does, that helps trump with his base in a tight race. Obviously he wouldn’t pardon.

    Microsoft is getting rid of WordPad after 28 years – the veteran editor has been present in the OS since Windows 95 (gadgettendency.com)

    Microsoft is getting rid of WordPad after 28 years – the veteran editor has been present in the OS since Windows 95::Microsoft has begun getting rid of another veteran application in its proprietary operating system. The company has released a new test build of Windows 11

    There’s still notepad, but Windows 11 office suite is already subscription only. They’re only taking wordpad out so people who don’t know better are pushed to buy in to the racket.

    If it cost but a penny, republicans wouldn’t afford dignity for their own mothers.

    I haven’t been following along the whole time but they wouldn’t even mention the issues forcing always online brought at launch. People quit playing so the servers caught up, but they still won’t add offline. Apparently they have absolutely no interest in the steam deck demographic.

    To move away from those people meant leaving behind an entire community at a time when I didn’t have many friends.

    I agree we should just be mean to these people. They clearly are using logic to reach their conclusions and not just going with it because they feel the need to belong in a community . And knowing that they will 100% be mocked for life for changing definitely doesn’t make leaving harder.

    It’s probably Stable diffusion. I use comfyui since you can watch the sausage get made but there’s also other UIs like automatic1111. Originally for a qr pattern beautifier, there is a controlnet that takes a two tone black and white “guide” image. but you can guide it to follow any image you feed it. Such as a meme edited to be black and white, or text like “GAY SEX.”

    Why a penny? Did you put a penny in this door? If I find a penny in this door I’m taking you down.

    YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

    Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.

    Yeah the rubber fell off of one side immediately. And opening it up to try and fix it was a hassle. From the article activist shareholders forced them to work towards right to repair, but if they don’t switch to Hall effect sensors it’s really just forced to repair. Potentiometer controllers have a forced shelf life, and controller manufacturers are fine with that. Now they’re just making money selling the parts too.
