I've seen there's posts going round saying you need to delete all your art from tumblr, right now! This very second! Because it's gonna get scraped for AI!!! And I totally get anyone who does delete their stuff to avoid that, or at least deletes the old stuff and reuploads with glaze or nightshade
But I dunno, I've reached the point where I feel like all these companies (the AI creators, and the social media sites etc.) are so blasé about your data, so out of any fucks about privacy and personal ownership and only care about £$ line go up, that it's probably all been scraped a thousand times already?!
Tumblr's move will certainly make this even easier and more likely, but, whenever I post anything online anymore I am under the full belief that this is gonna get taken and used by anyone who wants to already 🤷♂️
Perhaps that is a negative mindset, but I dunno guys, it feels like the damage is largely already done and deleting all my art at this point will only serve to make my life less fun.
On a more positive note, the kind of people that are running AI are ridiculous tech bros, the exact types that ran nft's and various other hair brained schemes straight into the ground, so there's hope there too. If AI was being developed seriously as an actual tool for artists to use it's one thing, and I think there could be legitimately interesting uses there. but the current state of affairs with the rampant theft and fuck you get mine attitude ignoring any copyright laws in their path, it could easily all crash and burn a couple of lawsuits later. Or people will just get bored and move on.
In the mean time yes, it is doing real damage to artists, not arguing that. Just saying as negative as my attitude to this situation is, I also have hope that it may not be the all out artistic apocalyptic event some predict.
But as it stands now, I feel like everything online is 'free real estate' to these people, no matter what checkboxes you ticked or watermarks you added, or new policies dickhead CEO's add to their social media sites.
To be clear: It shouldn't be this way, it fucking sucks, and by all means delete your stuff if you feel it necessary.
I don't plan to at the moment. I do have glaze set up for future posts.
Anyway just my thoughts on the matter at the moment. Anyone else feel this way? Or, if you are deleting your stuff now, what are you going to do going forward? New websites/come back and repost with glaze/other?
i 100% believe that, on the night they met, house tried to get wilson into bed. he was probably subtle, and wilson just didn’t pick up on it, but it really is obvious from an outside perspective.
house saw wilson at a conference, noticed him, deduced that he was getting divorced, tracked him to a bar, watched him have a breakdown and get arrested, followed him to the police station, and bailed him out of jail.
I definitely think that part of the reason House and Wilson's relationship is so strong and so important to House is because Wilson is one of the few people who doesn't treat him like he's made of glass. He has his caring moments but on a daily he just couldn't give two fucks.
My best friend is disabled and has to walk with a cane? Saw that bitch in half for fun.
He just returned from jail after a psychotic breakdown? Punch him in the face.
He's asking way too many questions about a topic I want to hide from him? Simply outrun him.
wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK

I don't know, some time in the past week probably, I get weepy when i'm very tired and I have ME/CFS so I get tired easily.

No. I really wanted them but health and circumstances meant spouse and I made the difficult choice not to.

Do you use sarcasm?
It's my first language

Drawing, rewatching comfort shows, playing bass, gaming, spending more time modding games than gaming, finding old lido's to swim in with my mum (okay that's only about once or twice a year but we get very excited about it) chatting with my spouse. I don't know if that counts as a hobby but we are both chatterboxes and after 18 years we still have so much to say. A good chunk of each day is just us rambling away at each other so i'm counting it.

No. And i'm a former vet nurse so I know that's wild. I live in a studio flat, there just isn't room for me to care for a pet to the standard I would want to. I am on hand to help out friends with their pets when they need health help/pet sitting though.

Veterinary nursing with a specialisation in emergency and critical care. Can proudly say after a lot of hard work I made it, at least for a while until I "medically retired".
