Just having some drinks at the local saloon.

Also, I did some testing to check a few things.

Note 1: Linus comments positively if you drink mayonnaise.

Note 2: Krobus comments positively if you specifically drink void mayonnaise (which is bad for your health, haha).

Note 3: I used the Lookup Anything mod to confirm if there were any changes to the friendship scores for drinking mayonnaise in front of people, and it appears that there are no negative or positive changes.

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 put together some screenshots on how to enable Tumblr's prevent third party sharing setting as a guide/reminder to help protect your and other artists' art from AI, including both mobile (top row) and desktop (bottom row) versions.

Mobile steps:

  1. On the tab for your blog (person icon), tap the gear icon to go to that blog's settings.
  2. On the blog settings page, scroll down and then tap on Visibility.
  3. On the Visibility page, enable Prevent third-party sharing for (name of your blog).

This will need to be done for each individual blog you have (which you can select via the dropdown at the top of the blog tab).

Desktop steps:

  1. Expand the Account section on the left side menu and then click on (name of your blog) under the Blogs list.
  2. On the screen for your blog, click on Blog settings from the right side menu.
  3. On the blog settings screen, scroll down to the Visibility section and enable Prevent third-party sharing for (name of your blog).

This will need to be done for each individual blog you have (which you can select via the Account list on the left side menu).

I very much wish this setting was enabled by default, but unfortunately, that's not the case.
