Hey y'all, just a bit of an update. I am not currently drawing much outside of boards and some comms.

But if u want to keep with me, I'm p active on bsky.

https://bsky.app/profile/qquipart.bsky.social

I'm not gonna delete this blog, I'm still gonna post my work here if it's ur main space; I love the community here, I love the people on Tumblr. I dislike the anti trans and pro ai stuff the company itself engages in tho.

I can't wait to show you the boards I'm working on though 🙏 I'm having a lot of fun with them.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

I have been informed that it does stop reblogs from being scraped, not that i'm sure i believe that. am i still skeptical ? yeah. Because each reblog is considered a separate instance, If i delete my post it still exists on tumblr in every reblog. How do i know theyre not going to change this without telling me considering they DID NOT email anyone to update this policy change. What happens if i just miss the next fucking staff post? I am going to be using tumblr a lot less, sorry to say. Im so fucking salty.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

I’m 99% sure Bluesky also has AI partners

Bluesky uses hive ai to moderate (to my knowledge) their NSFW content (I dislike this, mind you)

But it does not scrape art or text for LLMs such as midjourney or openAI

[qquipart]

The fact that I am learning this from an @staff post rather than email is disgusting and unethical.

The above poster is also absolutely right, it does not distinguish if they will crawl from users that do not opt out even if you have opted out. What makes this worse is that images never go away. There are people who deleted their old blogs or chose to leave tumblr during the porn bad, that still have images circulating. The fact that they'll NEVER KNOW THIS because there was no god damn email sent to people, and theres no way for those people with deleted accounts to take their images down is vile! I cant even delete my account in good conscious because I do not know if that rescinds my right for my art not to be scraped. This really kills tumblr for me tbh, If you want to find me, I'm on bluesky. https://bsky.app/profile/qquipart.bsky.social
