“In honor of what would have been Charles M. ‘Sparky’ Schulz’s 100th birthday, cartoonists across the country paid tribute to the Peanuts creator in their own comic strips on November 26, 2022. Schulz is the only cartoonist ever to receive this honor in the comic pages—a fitting tribute for a man who devoted his entire life to cartooning. The Charles M. Schulz Museum is proud to share the collection of tributes on this page (Abre numa nova janela).”
“How’s AI art going?” “Oh its just artists dunking on artists (Abre numa nova janela) all the time. Now there's a data contamination art practice (Abre numa nova janela) going on both sides #noiaiart with interesting results (Abre numa nova janela). It's pretty fun actually." "So AI is adding to the art conversation?" "You bet."

Yes there is a guy prompting Stable Diffusion with “strings and text from inside malware, as well as filenames, and other usable meta data“ to generate Malware AI Art (Abre numa nova janela).

More seriously, researchers found that AI models bleed training data into their generations and, yes, you can get out original artworks near verbatim by prompting the models with the labels: Diffusion Art or Digital Forgery? Investigating Data Replication in Diffusion Models : MediaSynthesis (Abre numa nova janela). This paper will be cited in the first AI art lawsuit and while i doubted the legality of AI art generators from the start (Abre numa nova janela), this doesn’t mean anything really. It just means that copyright laws hit a wall, and none of the questions are easily answered. Revolting against technology, not on the basis of exploitation which is where you have a point, but on the basis of aesthetic and artistic practice, just shows a limited understanding of art and freedom of art that should be roughlessly mocked. But maybe thats to be expected from people working in an industrialized creative complex, drawing Pokémon and Spiderman and Fantasy-Dragons all day for a buck and then wondering why their jobs are automatized away. On the other hand we have hucksters trying to claim land on a latent space that has been assembled from the collective art history and who try to sell prompts and who think they own something there. These bullshit artists should be mocked just as roughless and maybe even more so than people who mistake crafting skills for artistic vision. So yeah, I’m having a blast.
Collin Burns (Abre numa nova janela) et al developed a lie detector for Large Language Models (Abre numa nova janela) that can find out what an AI knows, independent from its output. This might be a solution to get AI-models to be reliable in tasks where reliability is imperative (software-engineering, driving).

Parasite gives wolves what it takes to be pack leaders (Abre numa nova janela): Toxoplasma Gondii is so fascinating. It reproduces by infecting mice who become fearless against cats. They eat them, and the parasite spreads, while also infecting the cat. Humans get the parasite from their house pets and become extroverted assholes and businesskaspers. We have no clue about how our world changed with the adoption of cats as pets and we have no clue about how our world changed due to a brain parasite, but its very likely that a lot of our shitty behavior is parasite driven. Keep in mind that toxoplasma gondii is not the only microbe living in a symbiotic relationship with you and keep in mind that, if you have a cat, you most likely have that brain parasite in your head. Its very, very common.
