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.
Fanart for the k-drama Mask Girl!! This show really blew me away with its characters, cinematography and storytelling. Someday I’d love to do an analysis of it’s spectacular use of color symbolism. 😍❤️
Hey guys, im still having trouble finishing anything since i lost all my WIPs to a busted tablet, so I thought I'd post some bits and pieces i had saved elsewhere.
I originally designed this apple to be a sticker, but i really liked the color variations! Which one do you like best?
Gang, what are your favourite indie games? I finished both Disco Elysium and Signalis in pretty quick succession and i crave more unique gameplay, stories, and/or art styles.
Cant tell if my bloody possession pic isn't getting traction bc of tagging issues, censorship or just bc folks aren't that into pretty people covered in excessive blood anymore. 🤔
