Hey everyone!

Your friendly neighbourhood compulsive reblogger here!

I'm going through some hard times. I'm unemployed, I've started school again, I feel very tired all the time and chronic pain is being painful, so I'm cranky, depressed and anxious all the time.

Unfortunately, I think tumblr is making me worse.

... And not in the haha, meme way, either. It's draining, it's distracting and it makes me angry. The little free time I have, I spend it all here, instead of making something or resting or calling my friends.

So I'm taking a break. I'm handling my log in details to a friend and fucking off into the woods for who knows how long. It probably won't be forever, this is still my digital home of sorts, but sometimes you just need to drive to the closest river and scream for a bit, you know?

Farewell, dearests. I'll miss you. I hope you'll miss me, too.

i discovered this configuration recently

[fractiousrvt]

When I was consolidating my corn snake breeding projects I ended up returning Anna, an absolutely perfect example of a candycane, back to her breeder who is a friend of mine. Anna bred this year for the first time and turned out to be het stripe! This was a very pleasant surprise as that was my friend's end goal with the pairing and she thought she wouldn't hit it until the next generation.

And damn did Anna make some *gorgeous* striped candycanes

[Fyi I'm sick and upset so this might not come out good]

As some of you who've been following me and Moms Homelessness Saga for a while now probably know, I have a financially abusive sister who has the info for the Debit card that Moms SSI and SSDI come on, and she steals from her regularly.

Well. She stole $100 off the card on the 1st before I got to the ATM and then because she herself gets paid on the 2nd and because mom and i have a Killer flu and werent thinking straight we just didnt even think about her second check until we were getting ready for bed on the 3rd and

there was only $293 left of a $600 check.

We have the room paid until Tomorrow and have enough money for Two Days. I genuinely dont know what to do.

If anyone has anything they could potentially send our way, it would be a genuine lifesaver at this point.

robot girls getting compared to chatgpt is like when you're autistic and your mom would call you down to watch the big bang theory and point at sheldon just to go "look, that's you"

reblog and add why in the tags or comment cause i’m curious

[syn4k]

full transparency here i daydream about meeting my online friends so often. in these scenarios, i tackle hug them in the airport and don't let go for several seconds. theyre not the height i thought they would be and it both delights and terrifies me. we make fun of each others' outfits. i bounce on my toes the entire way to the rental car, aglow with excitement, the happiest and most animated i've been in years. and for a short, gilded moment in time, everything is alright

[syn4k]

in my fantasies, expressing my love for others is as simple and easy as breathing

hey this post got a lot of notes really fast is everyone okay

[undertalepilled]

I wish people treated queerness as breaking the rules of the dominant cis-hetero patriarchy so you can authentically be yourself. Instead of adhering to a new slightly less restrictive set of rules which you will deride other people for not following (basically whatever label discourse is now flaring up)

i’m not aromantic but i believe in their beliefs

[adiabat]

for me being bi has contributed a huge amount to noticing all the ways in which romance and friendship run together and i think in general people would benefit from recognizing that romance and friendship are socially constructed categories used to describe a vast, nebulous, and often overlapping range of feelings

[asteroidtroglodyte]

My way of parsing it:

Every Relationship is actually a specific, unique thing. We invented Shorthands, such as Friend or Husband, to help describe recurring motifs in Relationships. But. The labels are simplifications. They will always fail to adequately contain the entirety of the Relationship.

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.

If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.

But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

Oh look, my book is in there. GIVE ME MONEY.

[elodieunderglass]

Interestingly, I reblogged this thinking it might be interesting for my followers - but as I’m not an author I didn’t think further.

Then I did think for a second. I realised I had fallen into the classic tumblr trap of believing that Authorship Equals Fantasy Fiction Writer. It’s amazing how that gets into your own head.

I went back and found a clutch of my scientific papers on there.

Not something that’s worth me pursuing any farther - and a lot of those works are very openly open access, and so they are honestly the exact sort of content that SHOULD be used to train responsible models. But worth remembering that it’s very common on tumblr to think of all writing as, like, genre fiction, and there are other types of writing too.

“First of its kind” AI settlement: Anthropic to pay authors $1.5 billion

Settlement shows AI companies can face consequences for pirated training data.

Authors revealed today that Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion and destroy all copies of the books the AI company pirated to train its artificial intelligence models. In a press release provided to Ars, the authors confirmed that the settlement is "believed to be the largest publicly reported recovery in the history of US copyright litigation." Covering 500,000 works that Anthropic pirated for AI training, if a court approves the settlement, each author will receive $3,000 per work that Anthropic stole. "Depending on the number of claims submitted, the final figure per work could be higher," the press release noted.

each author will receive $3,000 per work
