☣️ Posted today: Video overview of massive moderation failure across all #Meta networks filled with criminal activity and abuse.

A reminder to #artists that there is now a tool meant to combat AI tools that are stealing creative works for use in services like #Midjourney by adding imperceptible pixels which in turn poison their databases 🤟

Protect yourself and your work!

The problem isn't we need more people to produce more Einsteins or Mozart's.

The problem is we don't nurture and protect the ones we have.

17 December 1943 | A Polish woman, Łucja Charewiczowa (b. 1897, no. 64373), perished in Auschwitz.

A historian of Lwów (Lviv) & researcher on the history of women.

During world war 2 she moved to Warsaw. In July 1943, for the resistance activity & participation in underground education, the Germans incarcerated her in Pawiak prison & later deported to Auschwitz, where she died of typhus.
