Watched an interesting video from Benn Jordan today:
I have been generally aware that this kind of thing, like Glaze for 2d artwork, is being developed by various people. It’s nice to see more tools for artists to defend their works from being scraped by AI.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Poisonify develops in the future, but it got me thinking – would you use it and tools like it for game assets? At first I hadn’t been terribly motivated because it increases the complexity of my workflow and process, but lately I’ve been thinking I should out of necessity.
(As an aside, I also wasn’t expecting the security implications of this kind of technology. The pressure wave attacks and mute attacks were pretty interesting at 21:53.)

Yes.
Game assets I’m not sure, but darn, makes me wish I had a desktop PC. GPU chops aren’t there for me and we already spend a lot on heat and electricity. My album could really use this, it would be hilarious and also very much in the spirit of the project.
I mean, damn, every medium needs something like this. Arms race be damned, keep your hands off our work.

I really wanna start using this. The compute requirements are brutal, but modern genAI practices are so nasty and I wanna protect my stuff. I’m not sure how much of an effect poisoning sfx I make for games would have, but I bet it would do something.
I’m also wondering if something like glaze can be applied to game rendering at runtime. It would need to be very efficient which feels like a pipe dream, but I would like to preempt the companies that are now trying to develop entire game generating models.
Also, I wonder how a runtime glaze would affect the frame generation feature on new gpus.
The ability to block speech recognition devices is also really interesting.

In case you are unaware, one of your options is to get an eGPU (a GPU in an external case) to connect to your laptop for more compute power. Though, I’ve never done it myself and I’ve heard that you have to be a bit careful to make sure drivers exist for that particular setup if you do that.

Respectfully and with compassion I will say, there is NO way I am buying an EXTRA GPU in the AI-fueled trade warzone that is 2025 
I am broke!
But sure, if I was to.
