Well, see you, friends
https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/
Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.
Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.
this is a drastic betrayal of user trust
That's an understatement. It's treason, and they know it. The fact they haven't announced it, that even within the company this had been handled mostly in secret? Bad people doing bad things
🚨🚨TUMBLR WILL BE SELLING DATA FROM OUR BLOGS TO TRAIN AI!!! 🚨🚨
That means ARTISTS, WRITERS, ANY CREATIVES ON HERE! YES YOU TOO FANFICTION WRITERS!!! Tumblr is making a deal with Midjourney to sell your work to train their AI!!
Every visual artist needs to poison their art (also keep watermarking the hell out of your art!). Use nightshade and glaze. I'm really hoping they're sued over this.
Also never post fanfics on here ever again. Just say you posted them over on your ao3 or something, but do not post them here.
