Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

More just noodling for the sake of it. Feels good.

Designer demo and signings at our booth this weekend. Had fun with Nathan Thornton (Red Letter Yellow Letter), Andrew Stiles (Wine Cellar), and Dan Germain (Grand Central Skyport).

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY THING WITH AI: People who use it have NO FUCKING TASTE.

They don't know what looks good or bad because they haven't studied ANYTHING. This looks like it was made by someone who's taste in visual interest started and stopped with microsoft desktop background photos.

Pegasus and a source of inspiration. The art was created for the Artmif project about the myths of Greece.

You guys are selling books? 🤣

But yeah, I tend to buy stuff at the start of the month, rather than at the end.

Post your green art!

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Question for folks; when I share personal art do you like the caption to be short and sweet, or would you like extra world-building info?

Saw a discussion of people excited for the future of AI generated tv/movie/books etc so they can be 'entertained' 24/7, and it's the same death drive for oblivion. If you're asking for a never-ending supply of personalised Star Trek X Marvel fanfic you may as well just submit yourself to the matrix.

What if we kissed in the banya/ritual space (WIP)

😂 Bernard's Watch was a kid's show about a boy with a stop watch that would stop time just for him when he clicked it. He'd get up to all kinds of shenanigans with it.

I'm so happy to share that the stairs update is liiiiiive. This is by far our biggest update that we've been cooking since *checks calendar* omg, since March x_x Huge thanks to everyone who helped us test it while in beta <3

Now lemme walk you through some of the new shinies 🧵

A screencapture of the settings screen in Duckduckgo showing 'Hide AI- Generated Images' is turned on.

I have just set Duckduckgo as my default browser everywhere as you can turn all the AI 'features' off 🥳
