Just to be clear, fuck you Automatic and your upcoming AI deals, this isn't your data to sell you creeps.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

Actually had the desire to do something at the weekend and made a new thing for the first time in months!

Not my best work, composition could definitely be improved for a start, but it is something, and that has to count as a plus.

Opened up C4D and Photoshop for the first time in a few weeks and made something. Hope to properly get back into the swing of things again now.

The first of my abstracts created for Project Aurora 14. Evo.Rush.

A little bit retro and a little bit inspired by the stylings of u_source.

The second of my sci-fi submissions to the new Project Aurora release, Vol 14: Freestyle 3. You should check out the whole release at https://www.projectaurora.art

Like the first it depicts a scene from an Alastair Reynolds novel, this time the book was Bone Silence (the final in the Revenger/Ness sisters trilogy)

Finished my weekend with an abstract. Started with Kitbash3D's "Treasure Island" kit as the base elements and went from there.

Cinema4D, Octane Render and Photoshop.

Put together a quick scene with the procedural planet setup I have been working on over the last few weeks. I think it has turned out alright.

Planet and spaceship made in Blender. Then the rest put together in Photoshop. The starfield is from one of my packs which are available on Gumroad (shameless self promotion).
