This is my inspiration tumblr. :) My art tumblr : hazardous material

[staff]

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.

For anyone who wants to turn it on to prevent third party sharing, go to your blog's settings and go to the settings under visibility. It'll be the fourth setting and make sure to switch it on, so it'll prevent any content on your blog from being shared. I believe you will have to do this for each blog individually as well.

Well, see you, friends

Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.

There's this note from the article:

Automattic plans to launch a new setting on Wednesday that will allow users to opt-out of data sharing with third parties, including AI companies, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, and internal documents. A new FAQ section we reviewed is titled “What happens when you opt out?” states that “If you opt out from the start, we will block crawlers from accessing your content by adding your site on a disallowed list. If you change your mind later, we also plan to update any partners about people who newly opt-out and ask that their content be removed from past sources and future training.”

There are no guarantees, but here's hoping that this can be honoured.

Also — remember when a similar thing happened with deviantART a few years ago? There was so much pressure from the userbase that people had to opt-in to having their art being used by AI instead of opting out.

It’s already been several months since I share my progress on my various projects with my Patreons. Here is a small preview of the sketch of the page 7 of my « Plumes » comic, with the first real appearance of Uppeh! Yay! ♥

Find many other previews in exclusivity for only 3€ per month, which also gives you access to all my sketches and illustrations in exclusivity, available from 2€ per month.

I know it’s not very funny to read but unfortunately it’s important for me. Patreon is a participative platform that allows you to help artists like me with small monthly donations. So if you appreciate my work, want to follow my activity more closely and allow me to work on my projects more serenely, consider the possibility of offering me the equivalent of a cup of tea a month?

Or share the information around you because as for all participative project, it is modest drops that form the rivers.

Je sais que ce n’est pas très drôle à lire mais c’est malheureusement important pour moi. Tipeee est une plateforme de mécénat participatif qui permet de changer la donne pour les artistes comme moi grâce à des petits dons mensuels. Alors si vous appréciez mon travail, que vous voulez suivre mon activité de plus près et me permettre de travailler sur mes projets plus sereinement, considérez la possibilité de m’offrir l’équivalent d’une tasse de thé par mois ?

Ou faite tourner l’info autour de vous car comme pour tout ce qui est participatif, ce sont de modestes gouttes qui forment les rivières.

Kresrell, the Plume of the Common krestrel. 

My huntress ! After long hesitations, I decided to change the color of her skin for something darker, that would contrast more with her clothes and jewelry. I would have liked to make it even darker but I don’t control these colors too well and I wanted it to remain legible … ^^ ’  –————————————– Kresrell, la Plume du Faucon crécerelle.  

Ma chasseuse ! Après de longues hésitations, j'ai décidé de changer le teint de sa peau pour quelque chose de plus sombre, qui contrasterait plus avec ses vêtements et ses bijoux. J'aurais aimé faire plus sombre encore mais je ne maîtrise pas trop ces teintes et je voulais qu'elle reste lisible… ^^’

Goa stone, Europe, 1601-1700

“Goa stones are named after their place of origin, Goa, in India. They are artificially manufactured versions of the bezoar stones found in animal stomachs. Goa stones are made from a combination of clay, silt, shells, resin and musk and are typically spherical in shape. Scrapings from Goa stones mixed with water were drunk as a remedy for numerous ailments, including plague. They were also placed in drinks to counteract suspected poisoning. Goa stones were highly valued and could change hands for enormous prices. This stone has an ornate case made from silver with a silver tripod stand.”

i want to know more about charlie weasley’s friends. who the hell agrees to SMUGGLE A DRAGON across international borders on two days notice? who are these people that are willing to accept a dragon in a crate from a couple of small children, no questions asked? i need to know more, tell me about the antics of these mysterious flying dragon smugglers.

ESPCAD.

European Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Dragons.

Like PETA but with less grossness and more punk activism. And fire breathing dragons so like no one really fux with ‘em.

[blueelectricangels]

speaking as a biologist, i can guarantee i would show up without question to smuggle an endangered species that would otherwise be destroyed across national borders to a sanctuary on two days’ notice.

like. if a small child showed me a box containing a juvenile alligator snapping turtle and was like “you need to smuggle this across the continent to kansas or else it will be destroyed” i would be like “sure, would you like me to send you a postcard, small child”

I cannot help but feel that if Albus Dumbledore had known about this freelance dragon-smuggling association things might have gone very differently for Harry Potter.

“I want you to basically move this child across national borders to somewhere where they’ve never even heard of Lord Voldemort and keep him until I need him.”

“No. That’s kidnapping.”

“He’s an unwanted orphan who’ll be hunted mercilessly by Voldemort’s associates and to make it worth your while I’ll give you these very rare eggs I happen to have come across in my -

“HOW THE HELL DID THOSE GET OUT OF NORWAY okay fine. Gimme. I’ll send a card.”

The smugglers take the eggs and the kid, dropping off the kid with someone’s sister who’s already got a couple and seems to know how to manage them. They check in, though, and it turns out the kid is mega into reptiles. Can even talk to them, which makes him *very* helpful…

Ten years later everyone but Albus Dumbledore is a little puzzled as to why a kid allegedly named ‘Nils Johansson’ has come all the way from Sweden to go to Hogwarts. Nils wears glasses, has a collection of interesting scars including one on his forehead, has two pet snakes that are almost always on his person, knows everything there is to know about dragons and introduces himself to Ron on the train with “You must be Ron, your brother Charlie told me to look you up. He works with my uncle William, visits a lot.”

Hagrid recognizes him instantly, of course, but it’s when he finds out how much Nils knows about dragons that his heart is won forever.
