Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.

She’s saying that when you use social media, only like, read, etc., stuff that you want to learn from or you like listening to. Scroll past the flight or flight stuff, that’s the story they want for you. Your feed will quickly be a nice place to hang out and it will poison their data.
How does it poison their data to share your honest preferences with them? Doesn’t that give them the most accurate dossier possible so they can hit you with ads that micro-target your interests?
yeah this is not what poison means to me. to me poisoning is giving them false information when they ask you for it.
We used to call the email equivalent of a nepenthes trap a teergrube.
That’s not poison. Thats helping them profile you. 🤔
I’m an amateur photographer and I post my work online sometimes. How can I use this on my photo? Can you share any links to tools and tutorials?
I’m not sure if this is still working or not. They also mention glaze. https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html
I’m pretty sure both glaze and Nightshade has been beaten by now :/
They apply Gaussian blur followed by edge enhancement to get rid of the poison, and it works, but it does leave them with ab poorer quality image. So, still better than nothing, but nowhere near as effective.
That’s really cool, I gotta give it a try.

Bro is asking how to poison his work for ai himself to protect his creative work and help combating corpo ai.
What else could he possibly mean?
Yes. That is totally what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.
Probably referring to this section.
This sounds like steganography.
I’ve gotten a lot out of YouTube by leafing through the recommendations on videos that I liked and saving any promising ones to ‘watch later’ playlists by topic. I have a couple dozen of such playlists, each with multiple dozens of videos. Could live off these for a year at least.
Of course, as mentioned, this is the opposite of poisoning the data.
Like the most annoying webpage from the old Internet?

Nope. It just started another arms race.
