Panic on the Streets of Yonderland
Yonderland, 2015 - Series 2 Episode 1
Taken from the commentary.
What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?
An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:
I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)
So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.
Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.
Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.
Just tested. It’s possible to swap out pictures on already-published posts. So in that case, a solution:
Nightshade your photo posts now.
Even if you don’t post your own art anymore, go back to your old stuff and watermark it.
Do it ASAP, before the deal goes through and the scraping begins.
This will not only protect your art, but has the opportunity to fuck over this deal on a pretty large scale. The more of these posts that are glazed or poisoned, the less valuable this deal becomes for tumblr and midjourney.
Share this with everyone. And i do mean everyone.
Sharing this everywhere.
I had to make a gif of this moment from Yonderland :')
Happy Thanktival, gents. Have him🫶
💕✨ Wise Elder Vex ✨💕
I can hear these GIFs…
xmas jumper anyone?
(it's here x)
I want 6 idiots friends but I have anxiety and worry that if I message someone first I'm annoying them, so if anyone wants to be mutuals and talk about the 6 idiots or any of their projects please respond to this post so I know it's okay to send a message saying hi
Gonna be honest, I'll probably just be sending you random 6 idiots posts every now and then, but if you want to actually discuss any of the shows, characters, or actors, I'm happy with that too 💙
What if Negatus is in Ken's 'I am Kenough' hoodie? The drawing. Based on @vex-ing post.
happy pride month, everyone in yonderland is gay
Yonderland 1x7 “The Heart of the Sun”
A most Vexing issue.
Honestly though? Real talk? It's not even like Imperatrix is noticeably worse than any other leader Yonderland's had.
Any mayor or king we ever see is awful vapid corrupt and stupid, the Elders clearly don't particularly care about the wellbeing of the people and don't even like doing any actual work, and Trixie's blatantly not as bad as Cuddly Dick/Bad Wig.
With Debbie ruling at her side to appeal to her more reasonable side, the Maddox sisters being in charge honestly could’ve improved things a lot in comparison.
HONESTLY if the only people telling us it'd be awful and catastrophic and the end of the world if the twins reunited and put aside their differences and ruled the whole realm side by side are the exact same people telling us Imperatrix is 9 feet tall with worms for fingers or whatever, I think I have a right to question that.
What is this thing about Ben and Jim’s face ?😄
