Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
unfortunately, a lot of the userbase won't opt out. those who don't see this post, those who have posted to tumblr but don't anymore, users on older versions of the app who forget to opt out next time they're on desktop, etc. the point of making it opt-out is to take advantage of people who wouldn't have opted in but don't/can't opt out in time. automatically opting out people who have discouraged search crawling is a gesture that helps Tumblr look more kind, but from the fact that everyone else has to manually opt out, Tumblr is definitely not looking benevolent.
I wonder, will Tumblr/Automattic be selling images from deactivated blogs? I assume deactivated blogs can't opt out. (if this is the case, it'll also give Tumblr even more reason to deactivate accounts unfairly.)
when will they start selling this data? Is it already too late to keep them from selling every image you've posted before you opted out?
and if they're especially malicious, I wonder if they could get away with saying "this image is from a blog that's opted out, but it was reblogged by a blog that hasn't opted out, so we're selling the image that's on that non-opted-out blog."
making users need to opt out to keep their images from being taken and sold is a shitty move that makes it clear Tumblr/Automattic don't respect our privacy, and @staff are really not giving us much info here to suggest otherwise.
The big thing is, as soon as it went live, it ALL got scraped.
All of it.
By the time any of us knew, it was already too late - THAT'S the big thing that's pissing me off with choosing "Opt OUT" instead of "Opt IN" models.
It's the same as someone stealing the painting you hung up on your living room wall, and defending it by saying "Well, you didn't TELL me I couldn't."
And when they're told they can't do that (opt out), they say "Ok, I guess I won't do it again."
You don't get your painting back, or the money they got when they sold it to be made into a shitty collage.
All you do is lose.
AND
The opt out ISN'T REALLY AN OPT OUT.
It's come out that all that little switch does is tell the tech maggots we don't want them to harvest it.
IT'S STILL UP TO THEIR DISCRETION, WHETHER TO LISTEN OR NOT.
So the jackass will come back into your living room and take the rest of your work anyway!
It's blatant theft, disregard for their users in general and especially for people like me, who are creatives making and sharing our work and Just Trying To Make A Bare Living with our craft and really, REALLY stupid business practice.
The logic - if there is any - completely evades me, and I'm just angry all the time now.
Fuck "AI"
Fuck tech maggots
Just Fuck.
Imma go paint now 😤💀
Nightshade
If you are an artist uploading art to tumblr from here on out, please be kind and poison the water for the AI trainers.
Read about Nightshade here: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html
@staff
OUR CONTENT SHOULD BE OPTED OUT OF AI TRAINING BY DEFAULT!
@staff
SERIOUSLY.
Didn't the porn-ban teach them yhe first time?
They'll collapse their whole business again and be handed their financial ass.
There's no "win scenario" for a platorm cannibalizing the work of people that provide the entirety of it's content FOR FREE.
Ads are one thing.
Using my work to promo your site and get said ad contracts, that's fine too, because the platorm is free and it needs a way to generate revenue.
We get that.
But STEALLING OUR WORK AND FEEDING IT TO THE TECH BROS WHO ARE THREATENING MY ABILITY TO JUST EXIST is completely, and unequivocally unacceptable.
It's garbage behaviour of the worst caliber and I'm so damn tired with how stupid it all is.
Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.
also use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!
here's a link to Nightshade
here's a link to Glaze
best combination is usin Nightshade then Glaze on your images. Glaze creates a protective layer and Nightshade poisons the A.I. software.
Gotta get up in this guy's face for this shot... Biohazard - Original art (details). Another black and white ink on 5.5x8.5 gray tone paper. This is part of my collection of 'art from the vault' that I'm putting up for sale for the first time, and like all the originals on my site, it's greatly discounted in the hopes I can clear out as many pieces as possible in an effort to stay afloat for a few more months. Any signal boosting would be greatly appreciated!!
Johnathan's art is amazing, and everyone should see it.
So says me.

what the fuck happened to the word artist. or entertainer. a content creator is what you'd call a bulbous worm disgorging bilious nutrient feed into a larval trough
[with concern] the content creator is gurgling again
The modern reduction of Art from a communicative, interactive, meaningful human exchange to simply a product which is consumed like coal in a train furnace makes me want to hurt people
Begging people to stop reblogging this AI trash from “The Phantom Painter” on Instagram (instagram.com/phantom.painting). I’ve been seeing it on my dash more and more often from people who are otherwise anti-AI and either can’t tell it’s AI or don’t care because it looks cool.
This is the kind of shit that is VERY CLEARLY trained on the works of existing talented artists’ with distinct styles and this asshole is selling prints and making a profit off of stealing other people’s hard work.
Don’t give people like this money or attention and they will go away.
Please, if you’re going to buy art prints, buy them from an actual artist.
@thegnat That’s the problem, it’s getting really hard to tell what’s AI and what isn’t. This phantom painter person at least says on each post on Instagram that it was created with AI, but when people re-post it on tumblr, it isn’t specified, and people end up reblogging it.
It’s not reasonable to think everyone should be vetting every single art they reblog to make sure it isn’t AI, which is why I made this post to let people know this artist specifically is AI, and I see it reblogged a ton.
Seattle! Come to my first ever solo show next week! It will be available to view until mid-February.
Tomorrow!! I'll be at the reception, see you there!!
I wish I could go, but I caaaan't T.T
Hi David...I'm a big fan of your horror work and I just wanted to ask if you share the brushes you use for your illustrations or not... I'd really like to try them out, I just got into digital art and I think I'm doing good... Also working on an animation mostly inspired by your "scary story animation test" on yt as a startup so I'd appreciate it if you do.
Thank you so much! (人◕ω◕)
Oh, yes, here are the brushes I use in Clip Studio Paint, and they're all free to download!
I wish you the best in your art and animations! (⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)♡ ✧*。

I got very lucky with this roll - a Gibbering Mouther! These guys have been freaking me out since I was little when I first saw them in the original AD&D manual lol.
