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.

#Remember: dont label poison that you want to be effective #Not ACTUAL poison #If it can tell lettuce from thistles it'll eat around the spikes.#Make sure that LLM gets a lovely mouthful of stinging nettles in every bite of its salad

goreador hediye :) everyone loves her shes iconic she can send email i also think it would be really funny if she had thaumaturgy because imagine if you will. the cat can deal agg damage

ryttu3k She can send MEMES <3 Oh my god Hedi with Lure of Flames

goreador EXACTLY!! at movement of the mind 3 can she start flying i dont know how much a cat weighs but theres also a nonzero chance she can lift herself up and go flying at motm 1 due to her weight

ryttu3k Oh NO I’m just thinking of that meme

goreador i just think flying handed cat with knife could be a good boss fight when she also is immune to all damage

ryttu3k WOE! Hedi be upon ye!

goreador SNBHBSBGB YEAH…YEAH

ryttu3k I have decided for the sake of the continued existence of the planet, Hedi will NOT be learning Thaumaturgy <3

talypo

Dont forget about thaumaturgy rituals! Cats hunting spiders is usually a great thing, but i dont even want to know the röts roll dc for 'handed cat scuttling across the ceiling towards you'.

#Shes gonna be the death of us #Special shout out to runner up rituals widows spite and devils touch #Hediye with her collection of voodoo dolls going STAB STAB STAB

goreador

today in vtm:

my pc, mahdi, is the childe of ilias (its complicated) and they finally met the prior in-game night. ilias, who is currently on the run (its complicated), decided to give his childe a gift: a cat, with a hand on its tail so it can be his little helper. this turned into a minor masquerade violation, but, on the bright side, the cat is named Ilias the Cat.

goreador

ilias the cat is just a very stupid cat (think jorts). no one is sure how to hide this cat from their unghouled mortal boss

ryttu3k

#one of my players said hediye would eat his head like a mantis and i believe it #on the hediye topic shes only been in one scene but she still flipped people off and untied their laces #she also had a knife at one point #i miss my vtm campaign

robotslenderman

OP I am DYING to get context on this.

@erlkonigstochter @orodrethsgeek

goreador

ilias the cat (tentatively ilias cel felinul) is an unghouled, mostly normal cat that ilias the person (dubiously ilias cel frumos) had kept around as a pet, travelling companion, and cat with an aipom tail. my personal headcanon is that the guy was just lonely, so he trained ilias cel kitty kitty to hold hands with him sometimes, but it doesnt ultimately matter much

(the cat is currently unnamed in-game)

ilias (person) is currently on the run from someone. who? my players follow me so i cant say, but! he cant leave the city due to other reasons (vagueness as above), so hes kind of stuck going in circles and hes been doing that for a few months to a year now.

while doing that, he ended up crashing in a sabbat warehouse being used for a mass embrace, so he sort of just… hung out there for a little bit, waited for all of them to finish up, (it got crashed by the scourges) and he embraced one of the stray survivors there because he felt… “compelled”, we will call it.

that survivor happened to be mahdi (played by @/talypo) and hes a vampgenetic clusterfuck. but most importantly, he is being raised by the malkavian primogen, and he also didnt know who his sire was for a long time (up until ilias found him in an alleyway, which was a different disaster).

the next night, after running some errands for the not-prince, and his sire, and the banu haqim primogen (parmenides, who is here bc canon is my bitch & i like him) and also accidently kicking hediye, mahdi gets a call from one of his employees that there is a cat at the store that has a hand.

(and thats ilias the cat!)

ryttu3k

Mahdi KICK Hediye? Mahdi kick her body like the football? Oh! Oh! Time for murder :3

#on the hediye note #she kind of acts as parmenides’s secretary #because hes bad at moving around and she has hands and a knife #mahdi isnt sure what to do w the cat yet #but he def cant give the cat to parmenides because #hediye would kill him to death #i miss my vtm campaign #currently ilias cel meow is on the floor trying to eat ham out of the ventrue primos childes hand #but she is NOT letting go #(said childe is a little freak i love her) #lastly we refer to ilias (person) as sad dad #because. well. he is one

I love literally everything about this. So proud of Hediye the Knife-Wielding Unsettlingly-Handed Cat.
