Sometimes the helpers need help.

My very best friend (light of my life, pillar of the community, card-carrying rager against the machine) just left their abuser! This is cause for celebration! But things like divorce, custody battles, and medical expenses cost moneyyyy. If you or someone you know has a few bucks to spare, please consider sending them this way.

I am someone severely out of practice with asking for help so do not let my demeanor fool you - shit's bad! Don't have direct funds to spare? Please spread the word as you can. Alternatively, if you or your networks know of someone in need of a talented graphic designer, grant writer, educator, or comms person PLEASE reach out!

You want some art? Icon of your little guy? Photos? COLLAGES? We make art so let's chat if that's more your speed! Shit, I work in HR. You want a resume review? Help balancing your checkbook? Horror stories to know what not to do in this hellish market? Your wish is my command. Anything helps!

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

Nightshade your photo posts now.

Even if you don’t post your own art anymore, go back to your old stuff and watermark it.

Do it ASAP, before the deal goes through and the scraping begins.

This will not only protect your art, but has the opportunity to fuck over this deal on a pretty large scale. The more of these posts that are glazed or poisoned, the less valuable this deal becomes for tumblr and midjourney.
