Three cool looking species of raptors:

The Harpy Eagle, the Bateleur Eagle and the Bearded Vulture 🦅

Those are some cool looking birds if i say so myself.

Niki Lauda — Sunday 28th March 1976 Long Beach - Preparing Shortly Before the Race, Niki Would Finish P2

It took a long while, but finally I finished colouring this black-and-white photo.

Everything has been colour matched to be as accurate as possible to how it was in real life, guided by other colour photos of the event. Though, some exceptions had to be taken, such as the hair and clothing colour of background people.

AI DISTURBANCE "OVERLAYS" DO NOT WORK!

To all the artists and folks who want to protect their art against AI mimicry: all the "AI disturbance" overlays that are circulating online lately DON'T WORK!

Glaze's disturbance (and now the Ibis Paint premium feature, apparently. Not sure.) modifies the image on a code-level, it's not just an overlayed effect but it actually affects the image's data so AI can't really detect and interpret the code within the image. From the Glaze website:

Can't you just apply some filter, compression, blurring, or add some noise to the image to destroy image cloaks? As counterintuitive as this may be, the high level answer is that no simple tools work to destroy the perturbation of these image cloaks. To make sense of this, it helps to first understand that cloaking does not use high-intensity pixels, or rely on bright patterns to distort the image. It is a precisely computed combination of a number of pixels that do not easily stand out to the human eye, but can produce distortion in the AI's “eye.” In our work, we have performed extensive tests showing how robust cloaking is to things like image compression and distortion/noise/masking injection. Another way to think about this is that the cloak is not some brittle watermark that is either seen or not seen. It is a transformation of the image in a dimension that humans do not perceive, but very much in the dimensions that the deep learning model perceive these images. So transformations that rotate, blur, change resolution, crop, etc, do not affect the cloak, just like the same way those operations would not change your perception of what makes a Van Gogh painting "Van Gogh."

Very lovely, Tumblr has shadowbanned this account. Sorry that I cannot reply to anyone sending me nice things right now.

notn advice from a veteran: if there's site lag, refresh more and click harder. this will 100% allow you to get through it more efficiently. remember, you must sell everything instantaneously once the holiday starts, lest you miss out on those sweet sweet first day price spikes. fuck anyone else trying to use the fr servers

the comments: i was going to reblog this until i realized op likes fucked up stuff in fiction. this is a common dogwhistle phrase for people who like fucked up stuff in fiction. they have to talk in code to trick people into agreeing with them. stay safe out there!
