Unfortunately I can't glaze/nightshade on mobile iirc X_X

zafflesia.bsky.social•154 days ago

Try looking into webglaze. It's an invite only system, might be able to snag one

walpinsta.bsky.social•154 days ago

What’s glaze?? I hear so much about it but idk what it is really

sketchygothandz.bsky.social•154 days ago

My computer isn't strong enough to run Nightshade on my art and I cannot Glaze either. What else can I do besides JPEG artifacting and slamming watermarks all over my work?

asterell.bsky.social•154 days ago

Try to get an invite to WebGlaze.

Nightshade has no effect on newer models like Flux or SD3 and barely worked on models it was designed for

The best part way to prevent your art from being used to train AI is to read the terms and conditions of any site you plan on posting your art on

Many people give permission without realizing

Are you saying the dude that wants UK parliament to ignore the law on his behalf is gonna follow a website tos lmao

smeg.bsky.social•154 days ago

T&C don't matter much if the site is public - third parties can still scrape for their own datasets

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

Can you show me an example? Right now it's just your word against a bunch of research scientists in machine learning.

neb.bz•154 days ago

People in the r/stablediffusion subreddit have been poking at it since release and they keep coming to the same conclusion

Plus, Nightshade is designed for SD1.5 and we're several generations ahead of that now with Flux and SD3

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

Nightshade isn't meant to be used alone unlike with Glaze [which is generally meant to prevent style mimicry, although it's not meant for img2img].

So they basically skipped a step.

92ndmeenyweeny.bsky.social•154 days ago

huh? How do I do this

ooouh okay 👍

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

Here's the Nightshade userguide: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/userguide.html

Glaze is on a separate page so you'll have to take a look at the top left icons to be sure which part of the site you're on to download which app: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/what-is-glaze.html

My wife and I have a spare PC built from older parts left over from upgrading our main PC's, and we're going to use it to do exactly that. Every drawing she's ever done, every photo either of us have ever taken, and every virtual photo I have taken, will all become poison pills for the AI scum.

septite.bsky.social•154 days ago

Does it work well with pixel art? I never heard anything on that end and I'm just worried it might mess it up visually.

axl99.bsky.social•152 days ago

Not yet unfortunately, you could try posting a 1k preview version and glaze that - depending on the grey values of your image those are where the artifacts can appear even on lowest intensity. Flat areas of colour were much harsher before, now not as much, with my work at least.

fishbait.bsky.social•154 days ago

It's only available on computers :(

kori.bsky.social•154 days ago

I don’t have the dedicated CPU to run either of the programs rn; tech isn’t a strong suit for me, so any advice? I haven’t posted much art yet, so I’m not sure whether it’s worth asking for a WG until I’ve shared more. Would you recommend I DM and try to request anyway, or should I wait a bit on it?

deadcozmos.bsky.social•154 days ago

Would be nice if I could get the darn thing to work half the time.

merilliza.bsky.social•154 days ago

I was wondering how other artists glaze their work. I usually size down/low res my files when uploading online. I was wondering if you do the same? Do you glaze after you sized it down/watermarked etc. or do you do it before, while the file is still high res then size it down for online posting?

moonstonegamerz.bsky.social•154 days ago

you glaze your final version of the work, (after editing the size, adding a watermark or signature, ect.)

alonka.bsky.social•154 days ago

do you glaze the work you do for clients too? i was recently wondering if i should start doing that as well...

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

That's a good question, because normally I'm selective with clients and projects. The one caveat about Glazing is that its practical purpose was for anything you post for online viewing as opposed to file handoffs for clients. I personally think it's safer to protect your WIP stuff vs the final.

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

- what I also mean to say is the final image matters too but your process and ideas and methods are much of what makes your work unique and important.

Taking initiative helps. The final file for the client handoff shouldn't have all your layers anyway.

alonka.bsky.social•154 days ago

yes totally. I was just wondering because I recently had some reference material handed to me by a (big) client which i suspected to be generated :/
Thanks for your insight anyway! :)

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

I sure hope you have a kill clause.

But also random helpful tidbit. You can Glaze an image up to 30k pixels. Another concept artist friend of mine did it for science and got a whole thing to render.

So if you're extra paranoid...

alonka.bsky.social•154 days ago

Yeah, although i wouldn‘t go that far yet, because i really don’t know for sure. It was more of a fleeting thought due to the whole exposure ai is getting right now.. Also they are really nice to work with and i‘d like to keep them.. :)

blackcapbandit.bsky.social•154 days ago

I can't unfortunately. I've been drawing on an old laptop for a decade now, with the chance of getting an upgrade still far away

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

The left image is mine, and Glazed.

The right is when some dude took this and thought he got rid of some meta tag stuff on Discord and ran it through Midjourney 6.

This tech works.

profkisuto.bsky.social•154 days ago

I don't really understand what you prevented this person from doing?

axl99.bsky.social•153 days ago

style mimicry

profkisuto.bsky.social•153 days ago

oh I see it now

duskvortex.bsky.social•154 days ago

losing it over the random anime girl face on the left leg gear

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

Nightshade and Glaze are both standalone apps, so be sure to **read the user guide** before you use either one.

If you're rocking an RTX 3070 like me, then you're looking at 3-5 minutes runtime for Glazing an image around 1200-1600px.

goldenpterosaur.bsky.social•153 days ago

I can’t do either because my computer isn’t strong enough to run Nightshade, and I’ve been waiting almost five months for a WebGlaze invite. As of rn I’m trying ArtShield, but I am wanting to at least use Glaze.

brokenoptics.bsky.social•154 days ago

I’m mostly posting on iPad, is there a way I can use it through there?

axl99.bsky.social•154 days ago

That means WebGlaze, atm the devs at UofChicago are working through their backlog but some folks are able to get some invites

rumrace.bsky.social•154 days ago

Art is never finished, deserted.

tearysparr0w.bsky.social•154 days ago

I tried to use it but it didn’t work for me. Maybe I should try again
