50 of my 52 stories on AO3 were scraped without my permission to be used as a training set for AI.
50
of 52.
Of those were original works, one of which was a character study for my book characters that a follower wanted to read.
I've filed my takedown request, but there is a chance it may not be removed. If it is not removed, I will retire from writing indefinitely, as I do not want this to become the norm and have my writing be fed to AI to create endless slop.
I probably won’t be very active for the most part of the week. I received some news about a family situation in Indiana and on top of being sick and it being 7 days until my birthday, I have a lot on my plate. I’m going to have a mini rant on what’s happening below the cut.
I will say this: my family issue revolves around my grand-aunt’s children wanting to be the only ones to be at her “funeral” and them trying to exclude my grandfather, her brother whom she was very close to. My aunts argued, and finally got it to where only siblings and children were allowed to go.
Not me or my sisters, who grew up around her. Not my mother who’s crying her eyes out thinking I can’t see her. Not my aunts or uncles who fought for my grandfather to go. Just my abusive relatives who believe my grandfather practically murdered my grandmother and give him hell for it every time they see one another.
I don’t want my grandfather to go through seeing his dead sister (who died after two amputations that had been caused by blockage in her legs) as well as having to struggle against, as I’ve said before, verbal abuse. The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.
99% of my family trying to order food is guilt tripping me because I have disorders that 1) make me intolerant to red meat, 2) intolerant to eggs, 3) intolerant to acidic foods (i.e. tomato base sauces/soups, lemon based sauces, ORANGES AND PINAPPLES)
Because of this I get a lot of fucking snide comments and I just... god I can't wait until I get my own place. I can guarantee you that my family is the majority of my issues
How nice of my fucking family to feed me shit they knew wpuld upset my stomach then slam me for trying to sleep away the pain. I was just chewed out because it was "nice of [me] to sleep during my turn".
Bitch, whose idea was it to go into an all red meat place in the first place? You're the one who said no when my sister and I said places that I could eat and NOT be in pain.
So apparently AT&T either throttled the internet for the area I live in or they were somehow connected to the 911 lines that went down early this morning and they've yet to fix it.
All I know is that either way it's bullshit because if it's scenario 1) AT&T is being blatantly racist (I live in an area that is predominantly people of color) and have decided to start cutting what we can and cannot do.
If it's scenario 2) AT&T customers as well as those who are in dire need of 911 are unable to contact anyone, which would make for several life or death situations. I'm not trying to bash Oklahoma, but I mean... it's just in between me and my prize (which is to interact with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandpa who I see once, maybe twice a year)
