@netbsd I wish you good luck finding an artist to make your artworks, and I salute your no AI policy for it! 🧡
Here is a little watercolor sketch freely inspired by your logo.

@davidrevoy What's the scooter for? What's your power level?
@citadel9 Hehe, I just wanted a "tech" detail, showing she was using a digital object 😊
@davidrevoy @citadel9 “Of course it runs NetBSD!”
@citadel9 @davidrevoy IT IS OVER 9000!!!
@citadel9 @davidrevoy it's obviously OVER 9000!
@davidrevoy omg she's got a scouter 🥺
@davidrevoy @netbsd
You were the furst that popped into mind when I saw their post this morning. 😁
@davidrevoy nice!!!!
@davidrevoy @netbsd As I am not aware if you know about this software already. I am in the process of redoing all of my photography internet uploads with this software and thought you might be interested. It helps to protect your incredible art from being plagarized by "AI". The software is called Glaze.

@atraidez @netbsd Yes, well aware (unfortunately), and I'll do the short version: it is a AI bro scam, boosted by a large (and successful) marketing effort. It was defeated on day 1, and now remain with a user base like a cult, especially appreciated from non technical user who are ready to believe in it because it sounds like the only "tech" option. But it doesn't work.
That's sad, I wish something like that would work, be open-source, would run on Linux, and be done by serious peoples.
@atraidez @netbsd Sources: see Cara social network recent news, who had 12 millions of artworks scrapped three time on August by AI dataset. The 'Glaze' on a big part of them (it was a premium built-in service) changed nothing.
Computer effort, electricity for nothing. 😩 The illusion of protection. Sadly.
@davidrevoy I recently read a @clarkesworld story about this. Didn't know it might be based on actual technology.
The story: "The Animator and the Glazer" by Ju Chu, translated by S. Qiouyi Lu
@sohkamyung @davidrevoy @clarkesworld @netbsd cool! Yhank you for the recommendation.
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @atraidez@infosec.exchange I don't think it was intended as a scam; the original research behind it is logical, and its initial release was able to defeat the current state of image2image generators.
Unfortunately, it's fundamentally incapable of being a long-term solution to the problem; it doesn't matter if it can block all of the current LLMs, because as soon as even one person finds a way to defeat it, every image that had previously been glazed is effectively now completely unprotected, and this exact scenario has happened several times.
I think the developers behind it mostly just have a lot of hubris and think that they will be able to come up with an unbreakable solution if they try hard enough. (I am also a little biased because I tried to reach out to them about helping make a Linux port in the early days of it, and I was fairly rudely rejected)
@davidrevoy @netbsd well fuck. The destruction continues. Thank you for the info update.
Je vois puffy la mascotte de fish linux dans la palette à guache qui se trouve sur la gauche du dessin :)

@davidrevoy @netbsd Well, I for one hope this whole David Revoy / NetBSD / concept art thing works out happily for all concerned.
I am actually quite confident if you're looking for people with artistic skills then Fedi is a good bet. There are a good few on here, so there is a chance you may find someone. Many are here to get away from the world of AI generated slop that is impacting their very lives.
@davidrevoy @netbsd @mboelen That’s awesome! We might need a logo for #bsidesluxembourg2027, if you take commissions or volunteer other things for non profits like us. We just need to lock down a venue first.
@davidrevoy @netbsd Love it!
