I’ve been thinking a lot about “Split Infinities”. The name originally came from a Radiohead song, Decks Dark, but these days something that feels more relevant is to offer services to folks who want to protest against the ouroboros that is AI. Split Infinities - cut these snakes at the head.

I think of the product strategies for allowing people options. We shouldn’t have to be forced to use the snake, and yet… it’s near impossible to avoid. People should have choice. With tidy.events I’m iterating on giving people who host their events an opt-in to Nightshade/Glaze all their images.

Nightshade/Glaze is not yet widely available because it’s computationally expensive and slow. And my flow is a feature flag. But it could be a way to enable practical actions to those that find AI abhorrent. Right now, there is no choice anywhere. Offering that option in UI can have cascade effects.
