What if after No Way Home, Peter got so tired of being spiderman he faked spiderman's death, and made a new ID for himself, joins the special forces, gets transfered to the UK and gets picked to join Task Force 141, and instead of getting along well with Soap, Price or Gaz, he gets along with ghost the most, because of their trauma, having both been buried alive and family and friends die, nearly dying and over all just fucked up in the head. Time skip to a mission gone wrong, he's forced to use his powers and everyone is shocked, except for Ghost he already knew, not because he was told but you can't just head 15 hot dogs in one go but anyways, Peter panics and hides away for a bit before coming back and getting prepared for questions and that jazz, but instead they let him tell them on his own time

Just like my luv @candy616 said: There is only one true cowboy, baby 😸

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. 

The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.   

AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond. 

Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

Sonic; he has chronic pain in his legs and insomia from having to run the metal virus off and from constant nightmares of traumatic events

Knuckles; he has chronic pain and deformed claws and quills
