Transhumanism is all the rage with tech billionaires pushing mind uploading, AGI, and more. But where do those ideas come from?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Meghan O’Gieblyn to discuss the religious roots of transhumanist visions of the future.

"Long live the Commune / 1871"
Train graff in Paris to commemorate the anniversary of the Paris Commune which was established on 18 March 1871.
Workers in Paris took over the city and for 72 days experimented with transforming society.
On the ground, countless committees, assemblies, unions, cooperatives, discussion clubs, demonstrations and mutual aid societies proliferated from district to district, animated by a working class base.
Artists! are you tired of Generative AI models training on your art despite Being clear that your stuff shouldn't be trained on?
Poison your art.

I've been following the development of a neat little tool called NightShade Which supposedly alters the image in imperceptible ways that impact how generative models learn from your art, effectively "poisoning" their training information. There is a second tool called glaze by the same developers that made nighshade.
in short, Nighshade distorts what the AI learns about a certain pictures, and glaze provides protection from style mimicry, a quite awful practice i've already come across often where some insensitive individual trains an AI on a specific artist.
Using both of these tools we can push back against companies and individuals that scrape our art without our consent.
