HUUUUUHHHHH?????? NOOOO- WHAT? - Tumblr Posts

Hey this fucking sucks. can we raise a ruckus about this. @staff

(image text: NEW from @/samleecole: Tumblr and Wordpress are preparing to sell user data to Midjourney and OpenAI, according to internal documentation we've reviewed. An initial scrape of data for Midjourney and OpenAI included private and deleted posts, things Tumblr doesn't have rights to. Unclear if this was turned over or was caught, with cleaning work ongoing. Internally, this appears to be a mess, and rumors about this had already leaked to Tumblr userbase, which is not happy. Automattic's head of AI told staff he was unsure if people who opt out will have their data retroactively scraped or not)
