AI Scraping Isn't Just Art And Fanfic

Something I haven't really seen mentioned and I think people may want to bear in mind is that while artists are the most heavily impacted by AI visual medium scraping, it's not like the machine knows or cares to differentiate between original art and a photograph of your child.

AI visual media scrapers take everything, and that includes screengrabs, photographs, and memes. Selfies, pictures of your pets and children, pictures of your home, screengrabs of images posted to other sites -- all of the comic book imagery I've posted that I screengrabbed from digital comics, images of tweets (including the icons of peoples' faces in those tweets) and instas and screengrabs from tiktoks. I've posted x-ray images of my teeth. All of that will go into the machine.

That's why, at least I think, Midjourney wants Tumblr -- after Instagram we are potentially the most image-heavy social media site, and like Instagram we tag our content, which is metadata that the scraper can use.

So even if you aren't an artist, unless you want to Glaze every image of any kind that you post, you probably want to opt out of being scraped. I'm gonna go ahead and say we've probably already been scraped anyway, so I don't think there's a ton of point in taking down your tumblr or locking down specific images, but I mean...especially if it's stuff like pictures of children or say, a fundraising photo that involves your medical data, it maybe can't hurt.

If you do want to officially opt out, which may help if there's a class-action lawsuit later, you're going to want to go to the gear in the upper-right corner on the Tumblr desktop site, select each of your blogs from the list on the right-hand side, and scroll down to "Visibility". Select "Prevent third party sharing for [username]" to flip that bad boy on.

Per notes: for the app, go to your blog (the part of the app that shows what you post) and hit the gear in the upper right, then select "visibility" and it will be the last option. If you have not updated your app, it will not appear (confirmed by me, who cannot see it on my elderly version of the app).

You don't need to do it on both desktop and mobile -- either one will opt you out -- but on the app you may need to load each of your sideblogs in turn and then go back into the gear and opt out for that blog, like how you have to go into the settings for each sideblog on desktop and do it.

at some point i'd love to release Julius Little's Baby Gangster BBQ proper but instead of just being a burn scars mod like i initially envisioned it i'd like to make it into a whole collection of scars and scuffs and "imperfections". i've made the freckles and the bruises and stuff already i'd love to do like bloodied knuckles and open wounds

shoutout to Singa who's already done an excellent mod based on this very theme AND the og freckles mod though, what a machine

game can't look ugly if you can't see it

planes in open world games are my sworn enemy

[vinkumakkara]

i never even realized you can use a plane to complete this mission. finally, something for the ultimate sr masochist

#when you inevitably fail and fall you can still steal a jet ski but there will be helis with rocket launcher guys that i don't think #spawn if you just start out with the boat so you're dead either way. love it what a wonderful note to finish on with this mission

[vinkumakkara]

Trying something a bit different, taking a while though :)
