to hold infinity in the palm of your hand

Sign-ups close in about 12 hours, but we only have 6 people signed up so far. I'm willing to extend sign-ups for a couple more days if that will help anyone, but if no one signs up, could the six people who have signed up please let me know if you'd like me to run things anyway?

Thanks!

so i can shower my affection on mooties and followers without any limits

validates my sense of appreciation and does not make me feel unwanted

every introverts' dream who loves a blog but is scared to talk with them

feels like an actual physical boop

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 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.
