Last thing I'll say about the AI-related news today:
The most damning thing you can say to Tumblr/Automattic right now is that you will never spend any money on a service they provide--no merch, no crabs, no ad-free, nothing--because they are partnering with unscrupulous companies who have proven time and again that they do not care about consent or IP rights at all.
So if you send feedback about it, make sure you make it clear: this made a serious negative financial impact for them.
And once again: do not ever tell anyone, not even corporations, to kill themselves. That's an asshole thing to say and it will make sure they ignore anything else you have to say on top of it. Don't be an asshole. They already covered that part.
