And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

Whether or not Tumblr actually makes a deal with midjourney to train on tumblr content, it's a good idea to start using tools to deter AI scraping if you aren't keen on AI training on your stuff.

Nightshade Link

Use Nightshade on art and photography to turn it into an attack on AI. Do not mention whether or not you have nightshaded something when you post it. Nightshade is an offensive move. The more people use it without saying they've used it, the more effective it is in impacting AI scrapers that train on content they don't have permission to train on.

Use Glaze on art to protect it from style mimicry - ie preventing it being used to fine-tune an AI to replicate your art style. Glaze is defensive and can help prevent people targeting your work specifically.

If you want to use both tools, Nightshade FIRST, Glaze SECOND.

Both tools create some subtle visual artifacts in images, but even if they're noticeable they usually parse like intentional texture.

Times are scary but we have tools to help! Use them!

Two drawings I did for @eirenical over at the @pingxie-exchange 2023. Actually, these are two versions of the same drawing which I only coloured differently.

TOLKIENWEEK 2022 Day 1: Favourite Character / Thorin Oakenshield

Moonrise over The Temple of Poseidon, Greece by Thanassis Economou

Every artist who sees this post should do the following:

- Watch the video.

- Follow the instructions

- Reblog

I can’t stress you enough about how important these exercises are for your drawing hand. You don’t wanna get CTS of Tendonitis and similar stuff that will prevent you from making art or even hold  a pencil.

Okay, this guy is my HERO. I just did these exercises as I watched the video, and already my arms and hands feel better. I have a degenerative tendon disease that prevents my muscles, tendons and ligaments from retaining their elasticity, and so anything that maintains the health of my bendy parts is important.

I URGE YOU. Even if you don’t draw, do these several times a day. Even just sitting at a computer can do serious damage. My dad, who was a rugby player, a carpenter, and now a handyman, suffered from severe carpal tunnel syndrome, simply as a result of sitting at the computer at the end of the day to play a little solitaire. Don’t let it happen to you!

((Guys, I will reblog this like, 5 times a day just so you all will see this. This is REALLY helpful, and it’s quick and easy.))

Wow, these are REALLY helpful. And yes, this is not just good but IMPORTANT for more than artists — if you type a lot, play a lot of video games, do anything that requires lots of repetitive movements of your hands, wrists, and arms (gardening, sewing, factory work), these can help. Even if you don’t yet get pain these are a great preventative measure, because the damage builds up over time. Youth is no protection.

And like he says, you should feel a stretch, but don’t push it too far!

Signal boosting.  Guys, I just did this and holy cow do I feel incredibly light and limber in my arms.  Again, even if you don’t have any sort of disease, do this as a preventative measure.
