PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.
you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.
to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.
to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.
if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)
Poseidon just pisses me off with his “Your mother is a queen among women. I had not met such a woman in a thousand years.” type shit. Uh huh, sure. 1) you’ve stuck your dick in other women. 2) you got a wife. 3) you left Sally and made her raise a child on her own. but you love her! okay Seaweed Man.
If i ever meet an alien i want them to draw me - imagine, someone not knowing (or having complitely different then) human biology and beauty standarts drawing a person. Maybe the limbs being too long, maybe the eyes having a predatory gaze (even if u were posing for a second hour, barely not falling asleep) maybe the hair looking different or colors matching ur body temperature
There's also that their forms of art could be different! Maybe instead of sculpting they would put on shiny gems and rocks, maybe instead of drawing with solid graphite they could draw with non drying liquid or making stuff best viewed in 5D?
On Ao3 if you find any AI fics you can just report them for spam and plagiarism. Its under their ToS under Content and Abuse Policies, sections B: Spam (because they're clogging up the tags and promoting the sites they use) and section E: Plagiarism (which I think is self-explanatory since they admit to using the bots to scrape fics from authors)
This. This is the extremely helpful. Report AI written fanfics. Do not interact with them in any other way because the people who use AI to write them will think that they can still do it. Just report them because Ai fanfiction is not fanfiction and they shouldn’t be allowed.
[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
The united States government has been trying to remove the protections of native children mainly via possibly overturning the ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act)
This will allow white families to continue to take native children from their lands their family and their culture just like they did for centuries before the ICWA was passed.
This is both incredibly important and incredibly personal as my family was permanently harmed because of children being taken away from their families.
So please spread awareness about this and I have a link below that you can go to the first Nations website learn more about this and and write a response that they can use about how we should be saving the ICWA
