They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

  1. login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet
  2. click "Account"
  3. click on your blog
  4. go to "Blog Settings"
  5. go to "Visibility"
  6. Scroll down to the bottom option
  7. turn the toggle ON, not off

you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go

It’s on mobile now:

1. Go to settings

2. Scroll down and click on visibility

3. It should be the bottom option, turn the toggle on

Go forth, protect your shit

this is as good a time as any to relink the texture i use on my art - open for anybody who'd like to use it. i slap this over my work on a simple overlay layer

the graininess and various scratches are generally troublesome to machine learning, since they rely so heavily on pattern recognition and color association.

compare the purple selection my computer manages on one color without the texture:

(the idea generally stays. you can make out most grass shapes, and many outlines)

to the same one with the texture :

(grass is highly abstracted, hard to tell when it truly ends, the pixels look less related to one another on the whole.)

either way it's there for y'all if you think you could get some use out of it.

I don’t know if twitter is actually collapsing but I also don’t know what I would do over here. It’s so funny, in real life I talk a lot to the people I love, like once I know they’re interested in hearing what I have to say we can talk for ages. On the other hand it’s extremely hard for me to talk to people I don’t know. I have to constantly mete out my interactions with people because i’m constantly managing my social anxiety.

When I speak to people my brain immediately generates a probability tree of as many possible branches the conversation could go on as my minds can muster while also listening to what they’re saying for new data. Talking to people is exhausting and I can’t turn off the probability tree, it’s proprietary software and I don’t know enough about my brain’s programming to decide if I need to function or not.

The reason why this is funny is because on the internet, I’m putting words out and getting little to no responses. It happens so rarely. It’s like standing in a room and talking out loud hoping someone hears it and decides to respond. It makes me feel like a ghost, a feeling I haven’t experienced since high school. I kind of feel this way about all of social media however, not just tumblr.

I guess the question is, how can I make posting worth it? Do I need to post at all? Unfortunately I need money to live and eventually I would like to be able to make money online off of my art. This means I do have to figure it out eventually. A lot of online creators have said that the important part is having fun and the rest will follow. I guess that must mean i’m not having much fun.

“this makes me personally uncomfortable”, “this seems in poor taste”, “this is somehow harmful but presumably because you’re misinformed” and “this is actively malicious” are all different things. remember that

“this makes me personally uncomfortable”: the work has something that is awkward or triggering to someone, but nothing problematic “this seems in poor taste”: the work is fine, but it’s about something that maybe shouldn’t be joked about/the work has bad timing with the release lining up with a tradgedy similar to the events of the work like the episode tentacool and tentacruel from pokemon “this is somehow harmful but presumably because you’re misinformed”: the work unintentionally has some negative shit in it caused by a lack of knowledge, i.e. a cis person’s trans headcanons accidentally reinforcing negative stereotypes “this is actively malicious”: the work was made with the intention to cause harm

We’ve been asking the City Hall to fix the stairs in front of our house for 4 years before they had the founds to do it.

In those 4 years the stairs in front of the building right next to ours were re-made 3 times. It’s a weird coincidence that a retired city official lives there.

Different but also the same.
