And about the AI opt-out setting Tumblr will deploy tomorrow, I’ll just let you with the words of the person in charge of the heist:

Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who’s opted out since the last time we provided a list. […] I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point.”

So Tumblr will notify openAi and Midjourney that you wish your posts to not be used and it’s entirely up to them to comply or not. And as we know, we are talking about some of the less ethical companies on the internet (which honestly is kind of a feat), so that cute little setting will most than probably do nothing and less.

#this close to deleting everything ffs

OPT OUT OF AI TRAINING NOW

Tumblr is opting you in to AI training by default.

Go to settings under visibility and turn this option on now!

Please boost so more people know. I think you need to do this for each one of your blogs.

i dont really want to think too much about ai but it's shoving itself in my face absolutely everywhere i go i cant just not have an opinion about it.

when i was a piglet, everyone always talked about "ai taking jobs" as like a joke. a silly hypothetical, that we all believed was no more likely to affect us than robot overlords, or teleporter malfunctions.

"ai" is still no more advanced than predictive text, and its nowhere near as scary as the thing we jokingly pretended to be frightened of as children. but it's already done that thing we were all joking about years ago.

ive never made much money from my work. the kind of art i specialize in is all freelance these days, full of competitors more skilled than me, and not nearly as marketable as 3d animation or graphic design, like my peers were smart enough to major in. and i never realized until i graduated college how much i hate freelancing.

and when this ai craze first started getting big, and concerns were being raised about copyright, and artists getting laid off, i was in agreement with other artists that this COULD make my art career harder. that people COULD be at risk of losing ownership of their work.

some time last year, i was walking from point A to point B, at the store where i work, where my actual job is, because i've never been a successful enough artist to do this full-time like i wish i could. and i saw some jigsaw puzzles we were selling.

and i noticed all the art on these jigsaw puzzles were ai generated.

and i think that was the moment it really hit me that the robots had already taken my job.

i'll always be appreciative and grateful to people who pay artists for their labor, but those people are in short supply. and now that the logo design, and furry porn markets are pivoting to ai, there's less and less room for artists like me who have to compete in a market with a growing number of thousands of other starving artists.

i can't compete with the skill of other humans, or the cheapness of computers.

i guess i've known for a while i'd never make a career out of art anyway, not like the masters of old, who got to work at disney before they kicked all the 2d animators out. so i realize i'm lamenting a future i never really had. and maybe ai isn't entirely to blame. but when fewer people can afford to be artists, we'll all have less art.

its not all bad, though. i guess. there is something i like about not marketing my art. about not making my whole thing a "brand". i like that i can draw whatever i like, and that i can not draw, if i don't feel like it.

but i also haven't really felt like drawing for a long time. and i think, somehow, the jigsaw puzzle has something to do with that.

[bryonieamber]

Last month, my cat died. I've had him since childhood, so I took it pretty bad. I was nothing but a sobbing mess for days. But a few nights after he died, I had a dream about him.

Its still hard to talk about him, but I want to remember him.
