Also curious how people like Epstein and James Alefantis are just casually using Gmail and Instagram to post CSAM and suggestive torturing of kids. Seems like the onus should be on the companies, not the users..

And I'll be uninstalling and looking for an alternative

I get what you're saying but the onus is (and should) definitely be on the company to inform customers - and there's many laws to that effect.

What laws? As long as they fulfill Heroku fulfills the obligation in any contracts they have made, no law has been broken.

If you are paying month to month and actually check the Terms of Services of those services, most of them can shut down instantly without notice as long as they stop billing you.


Doesn't mean artists should make it easy for these AI companies to steal artist IP. It doesn't take long to do and seems effective enough from what I've seen. BTW This is how cybersecurity works (cat and mouse etc)


What's with the "stealing" lingo? We were all making fun of the RIAA for conflating copyright infringement with stealing ("you wouldn't steal a car") and now we're doing the same?


The tides have turned; everyone here loves and respects copyright now.


The problem is that it is an inherently intractable problem with the (temporary) solution space shrinking with each mitigation, as the images still needs to look good to people.


Exactly. This isn't like encryption where you can just keep adding more bits. Every iteration that gets closer to simulating how people see sets the floor.


Real security systems don't publicize how they work.

This is just grandstanding. Half the people from this lab will go on to work for AI companies.

175 years of history would disagree with you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity


That old saw. Downvote all you want. Adversarial engineering does indeed rely on obscurity, they just don't tell you that.


I've been working in security for more than 20 years and have seen the deleterious effects of security through obscurity first-hand. Why does "adversarial engineering" rely on obscurity?


It's also a great way to train megacorp AI models without compensation.


Stable Diffusion (Web UI or whatever) has add-ons (e.g. rembg) that are really good at this last time I checked


Joplin?


Free seeds?


Sites like Amazon and probably aliexpress/temu require a documented shipment before you can write a review. Shippers sometimes send extremely inexpensive stuff like seeds to random US/overseas addresses and launder the shipping receipt into a fake review for something more expensive.


This sounds fake. Why send seeds, of all things? Why not some equally cheap item like electrical wire insulation off-cuts, a piece of scrap bubble wrap or just a note (or just nothing)? Seeds are likely to set off alarm bells for biosecurity at many borders for no benefit.


It is real, it's called brushing:

They send all sorts of things but there was a big wave of seeds that got a lot of news coverage because of biosecurity fears.


Isn't there an app for that?



Sounds cool. Is there any demo video? I didn’t see one


I haven't made a demo on it yet, i will be adding it very soon
