2024 Being Here! Wow! Thats Actually Fucking Crazy

2024 being here! Wow! That’s actually fucking crazy

Well, I decided to give it some details to differentiate my AU with the original :')

“I haven’t looked at the sun in so long, I forgot how much it hurts you”

Bitches really be hating, like do you have something against dogs?

I’m like one of those people who dyes their hair compulsively but with my tumblr username

Enjoy the new era this is hopefully the last and longest

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

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)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
