here's the best writeups we have so far.
matt's meltdown:
![26Feb24 Roundup: Matt Mullenweg Teaches a Masterclass on Why We Have Trust & Safety Teams](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6bcb9e1e1bf56d1742307cc78c45a463/f3bf0a4436613eb2-a3/s500x750/c4431da8b5b8d4cecd7187ba549a7f8a7e2f2db8.gif)
tumblr's AI deals:
![Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools](https://64.media.tumblr.com/97b2628f59bb60c205f484de281c21b5/f3bf0a4436613eb2-eb/s1280x1920/85a712669beec30a9248bd8b654cc9bd05d786e7.png)
that second article requires an account, but the full article is on tumblr here.
importantly, the initial data dump for OpenAI included a bunch of content that — on top of all public content between 2014 and 2023 — automattic didn't mean to share, like private posts, posts on suspended or deleted blogs, unanswered or private asks, and posts that are marked NSFW.
automattic got the IDs for these posts after providing them, and requested they be removed. we don't know for sure that they have been.
notably, the article names andrew spittle, the current head of AI. he was my boss's boss's boss's boss (you get the point) before that, and openly says that he doesn't believe in work-life balance, just in doing what the job requires him to do, if that tells you anything.
![They Are Already Selling Data To Midjourney, And It's Very Likely Your Work Is Already Being Used To](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3496ac1a005c1a14d943038fe94e7019/0f06aeedc359062d-12/s400x600/ad3e81da5c1bb4342a7901785db860eea47d71aa.png)
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.
ok! So for some reason I can't post photos on tumblr! Hopefully will get this resolved soon :)))))))
