Little known fact: Werner Herzog has only *TWO* tattoos, when everyone thinks he has many more. One says "no ragerts" and is under his left eyebrow. The other says "pobody's nerfect" on the back of his hips, with an arrow pointing down to his anus. #truefacts #factsnotfeelings

Some unusual behaviour from the giant house #spiders sitcom today. Yesterday the large male seemed to try to mate with the large female. She was upset and pooed a lot. Today the two females are huddled together in the rag ladder, no murdering yet. I can't find any research on sapphic spiders. :V

Apologies arachnophobes. This is the absolute tank of a female giant house spider in the bathtub. She has a harem of three males, one of which is now twitching next to her, on his back with his legs crossed. 😢 #spider

A screenshot of the defending AI art subreddit

I/mandarindawnpoppy994 is bragging about scraping all of cara, a human-only art site specifically made to reject scraping by AI companies.

Quote:

TL;DR: I scraped all of Cara, an anti-Al art platform! It was a fun project, happy to answer any questions here :)

Some statistics:

Just over 12 million works in total

• ~12TB worth of images

• On average ~2.3 images per post

•Average image size, ~0.95MB

Total cost was just under $10 for the entire scrape.

Will release the list of URLs soon! I may soon have a way to remove Glaze/Nighshade, please join Discord if you would be willing to help! E.g. contribute your GPU to a pool to process images :)

To all you copyright trolls out there who will inevitably try to report this post, I am not distributing any image files! Distributing URLs has been shown countless times not to infringe on copyright, take for example LAION-5B, etc.
