YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

《Made a visual guide of how to get there, because it's under a weird tab.

Go to your blog (you have to do this for each individual blog) and the visibility tab

It's this last option here

Hate this shit, but turn it off babey》

Just finished reading 3001: A space odyssey

So I’ve been quite busy with work, college and artfight, but I finally managed to squeeze in the time to finally read the final space odyssey book. So here’s my extremely unorganized review of it. (Spoilers ahead of course)

The first thing that I noticed about 3001 compared to the previous installments is the fact that it has a lot more futuristic technology than 2001. Although it’s mostly due to the fact that it’s 1000 years in the future, despite this I do feel like it lost a bit of the charm of the mostly realistic technology that was present in 2001. Some parts of the technology definitely made me metaphorically roll my eyes, for example the dinosaurs that tend to the crops.

I felt that 3001 did have a weaker cast than 2001 or 2010, although the characters I felt were better than those in 2061. The only characters that really stuck out to me were Frank, Hal and Dave. I really didn’t care about any of the side characters and I was frequently mixing up the side characters because I had no real interest in them (Although some of the confusion might be attributable to the fact I can’t remember names for the life of me).

Speaking of characters I should probably speak about Frank considering he’s the main character. Frank didn’t interest me as much as some of the previous characters in the series (namely Dr. Chandra, Dave and Hal) but that being said I still was interested in where his story would go. Frank had an interesting character dynamic of not understanding the future technology and customs. Although I wish there was more conflict between Frank and the people of the future. One thing that I found interesting about Frank was his distrust for the modern technologies even going so far as to not allow the ship to use autopilot, although again I wish this was expanded upon more.

The book started off a bit slow and the main conflict of the monolith threatening the existence of humanity was resolved too quickly leaving the story feeling like it could have done with some pacing edits. The ending of Halman sacrificing himself to save humanity was bittersweet although the idea of uploading a computer virus to the monolith felt a bit odd. But overall it was a decent book that could have benefitted with some continuity changes and pacing reworks.

Anyways thanks for listening to my random thoughts on a random book

How do I explain to people that I despise AI and the way it's affecting both us as a society and the planet in general but I also sort of adore any machine/robot/AI I stumble upon in fiction?

Tadc fans please stop tagging your posts that have nothing to do with ihnmaims under the ihnmaims tags

I’m going to be real honest, it’s really annoying, I don’t mind TADC or seeing TADC content, hell I even watch it. It’s not my favorite show but I enjoy it, but when you tag it as IHNMAIMS it shows up for people who are looking for IHNMAIMS content. I understand that TADC takes inspiration but that doesn’t mean it should be tagged! I have no problem with memes or fanart that feature both being posted under the tag, but people are posting exclusively TADC content under the IHNMAIMSS tag

[american-alligator]

guys…… I didn’t know if it was possible but it got worse- I scrolled for like 5 minutes on th ihnmaims and only saw like 2 posts that were actually related to ihnmaims
