    Do my AI’s deceive me, or have my AIs been deceived?

    Scientists at the University of Chicago have created Glaze, a tool that could help artists prevent their artwork from being replicated by AI art generators by invisibly mimicking a different art style.

    Glaze isn’t available just yet and the team acknowledges it isn’t a perfect solution, but it could help bridge the gap while copyright protections catch up with generative AI technology.

    Before and after comparisons of Karla Ortiz’s artwork when using Glaze. The images masked with Glazed appear in a different art style after being fed into an AI art generator.
    Glazed artwork looks completely unchanged to the naked eye, but pixel-level alterations can fool AI art generators into emulating a different art style.

    What is this, a 3D printer for ants?

    Not quite, but this miniature resin printer created by My N Mi is surprisingly fully-functional and capable of producing delicate, detailed prints despite measuring just 18 x 31 x 41 millimeters (seen via The Awesomer).

    That’s about the right size for a typical dollhouse FYI, and it’s giving me the same vibes as those addictive miniature-cooking videos.

    Linkin Park’s new AMV is a bit of a Hybrid (Theory).

    Linkin Park’s co-founder Mike Shinoda has shared a new video for “Lost” — a song recorded for the band’s second album Meteora, but never released at the time.

    The video was inspired by the band’s early animated music videos, and created using original artwork, archive footage, and generative AI.

    A nostalgic throwback for fans. I’m glad they’re not breaking the habit.

    AI art studio proves its work is worth at least a gift card.

    The studio won a $100 gift voucher given to first-place entries of Australian retailer DigiDirect’s weekly photo contest (seen via PetaPixel), and admitted the image was Ai-generated after the fact. No word on what it’ll spend the voucher on. Perhaps a camera?

    A photograph generated with artificial intelligence. The image shows a top-down view of an ocean wave being hit by orange sunlight.
    This Ai-generated “drone shot” was apparently submitted as an experiment to see if it could pass for a real photograph.

    Samsung’s BMW phone comes with training on how to be a better driver.

    Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S23 Ultra BMW M Edition in South Korea (seen via SamMobile), a limited edition of the device inspired by the BMW M3 E30. Finally, a phone for people allergic to turn signals.

    I’m sure the design has some appeal for BMW drivers, but it’s overshadowed by its incredible packaging.
