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.

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.

Reposting this from Twitter because I want people to see it and ruminate on it.

For those curious, I took a screenshot of that shithead instead of QRTing to avoid giving them engagement, since I know blue checks get paid for that on Twitter and I'd rather not give them any more money. Not the point though.

Remember that doomerism and defeatism are the greatest weapon of the enemy and that ours is hope. Hope never truly goes out; please hold on to it.

EDIT: Since people keep reblogging about the South Park one being in poor taste, I just want to acknowledge it here even though I did already in a reblog that I unfortunately don’t think anyone saw. Apparently South Park is problematic and has promoted antisemitism, and I’ll admit I’ve never seen it so anything specific about the show would be out of my field of knowledge. I’ll just take everyone’s word for it. Fair enough.

BUT, regardless, on principle that does not devalue anything about the other examples or the point I was trying to make. It’s just generally good to spread awareness like this.

We will not forget those who supported Palestine. You are in our prayers❤️

I am making so many “hey mutuals!” posts but this one is serious and it applies to everyone who sees this post actually. PLEASE REBLOG.

I just had to block someone with this flag as their pfp -

For those who don’t know, this is the MAP pride flag. This flag represents pedophiles.

Please reblog so people know that they are not welcome anywhere. Mutuals I BETTER see y’all reblogging this

Nex Benedict was a indigenous trans nonbinary teenager. They were beaten to death in a bathroom stall. Conservatives say they want to, "protect the children", where was the protection for Nex? That's the thing. There wasn't any. Nex died. And many more trans, queer, and nonbinary minors will if we don't step up and do something. What happened to Nex has and will happen to queer folk around the globe. Say their name.
