Twitter using your posts to train AI
New TOS changes go into effect on November 15!! ---
“By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make your Content available to the rest of the world,” the terms of service said, which includes the right to analyze any of that content “including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type.” Basically, by continuing to use the platform, users will agree that X can use their data to train its AI models.
This means that if you post snippets of WIPS or even ficlets, the hellscape formerly known as Twitter will be feeding them into AI training.
Personally, I'll be on Bluesky, but make whatever decision is right for you.
Please reblog to share the news!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR WRITERS AND ARTISTS ACROSS TUMBLR!
If you didn’t already know this, Tumblr allows for third party access (like a lot of social media platforms) INCLUDING A.I MODELS.
Why is this important for writers (especially fanfic authors as it pertains to me and a lot of my moots) ?? THIS MEANS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL AND WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE PROFITING OFF YOUR WORK!
What can you do to prevent this?
You’re going to go to the settings of your main blog page AND all of your side blog pages. Scroll all the way down your settings menu to Visibility. Click on it and make sure that Prevent Third Party sharing is ON to enable it!
SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE
LOVE YOU ALL!

I’m seeing so many people posting about glaze and nightshade and webglaze all being difficult to access and how frustrating that is which is valid!!
The answer is Cara!!! They partnered with Glaze and have their own web browser for running it and it doesn’t require jumping through hoops to gain access like WebGlaze. all you need is to make an account and BAM you have access. The one drawback is that they don’t have the bandwith to do it quickly so it can take a couple hours, but it doesn’t kill your computer to do so!
Here’s the link and i wish you all a happy glazing and ai ruining❤️
Also to opt out of tumblr forking over your content to train ai, you have to scroll past settings down to the bottom and click Visibility. It took me ages to find it as all the posts i found saying where to find it said it was in blog settings. Kinda feels like they’re intentionally making it hard to find…

Fanfic update
Hey everyone. Due to recent information coming to light about bots scraping through Ao3 for content to feed to AI, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to lock my fics to only registered users.
I have already done so to all of my one-shots, however I will leave Oathbreaker up until two days after I post the next chapter, to give my lurkers time to see it and read the warning I will include in the note.
This was not done lightly. I actually didn't sleep much last night because I know there are guest readers who will be affected by this. I love and appreciate all of my readers, but I need to protect my work. I invite any guests lurking here to send me an ask with their email and I can send new chapters to you directly.
This really sucks. I didn't want to have to do this.

Gotta love (hate) how anyone who's died since having a tumblr account is gonna have their work n stuff left here stolen for AI training.
Unless they're lucky enough that their family or friends deleted their account or saw this new change, remembered their account and said 'hell, no', going straight to their settings to opt out.
Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Go to Visibility and press the switch at the bottom so tumblr doesn’t use your stuff for ai!

This BS again...
Seriously, Tumblr, this should NOT be opt-in by default, or did you not remember or even know about the backlash DA got for this?
Either way, make sure you opt-out for for ALL OF your blogs.

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.
This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.
#ccyy talks#sorry for posting this here but I'm pissed and this shit really needs to stop#For all I know he recorded me too cause I'm young and look healthy but got to go back next#Sorry about your cough buddy but the way things work I was a more immediate emergency#1k#5k#10k#30k#this post clearly has a life of its own now#and in case someone wants to know some clarifications for common points#people in a position of authority/actively hurting someone with the intent to protect/help the person is fine#so cops doctors nurses mental health workers and educators (to name a few) who actively are abusing their power and authority? free game#this post was filming random ass people for Content(tm)#random ass people more so those in distress aren't your content and you do not know the harm you can do to someone by posting that shit#50k

I have had these thoughts bubbling away in my head for like...eighteen months or so now (it will become very obvious why shortly) but the discussion in this post has pushed me to write them down: I think societally we HUGELY underestimate how motherhood for primary caregivers, particularly first-time motherhood, can be a source of vulnerability to radicalisation.
There is obviously huge cultural variance here, but for a lot of cis women becoming primary caregiver to an infant in a capitalist Western society represents a time of immense vulnerability because in general you are:
Incredibly sleep-deprived (which has well-documented knock-on effects for your judgement, mental health, etc)
If you gave birth, recovering from a significant challenge to your physical health (even in the best-case scenario)
Isolated from your previous networks and communities of people in full-time work
Completely separated from the context of your prior career goals and achievements
Under huge amounts of stress to learn how to care for an infant (don't get me started on breastfeeding)
And on top of this, you are also be experiencing a huge amount of messaging about how all this is natural, wonderful, something you're meant to do, something you should love doing, and something that you must do for the welfare of their child. It's a huge amount of pressure and life change even when everything goes right and there's very little cultural space to express negative feelings about it.
Any group of people who offer community, support, and affirmation to cis women in this situation are going to have a really good shot at radicalising them into some very weird and dangerous headspaces and in fact we see this happen all the time - think antivaxxers and TERFs. It flies under the radar because of the hazy positive glow that associates with motherhood and babies and also because we don't take the radicalisation of women seriously I guess because they rarely shoot anybody, but...yeah. It is such a vulnerable time!
#people who do not see themselves in the cishetero stereotype#are obviously going to have some separation from this & therefore protection#full confession: obviously in the last year and a half I have done a LOT of midnight Googling about Baby Things#and you know what. very often the top hits are Mumsnet forum threads#which...often contain useful and sympathetic advice#I can so easily see how people get sucked into that#they're not getting people with TERFy shit they're getting them with 'tips for getting your four month old to nap better'#which is the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD when your kid is four months old#and then the TERFy nonsense presumably comes later#because that's how radicalisation works

None of our hands are clean
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangshan#mianmian#The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing#He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

will they be releasing this for artists who use older macs? seriously.
Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

I don't care about data scraping from ao3 (or tbh from anywhere) because it's fair use to take preexisting works and transform them (including by using them to train an LLM), which is the entire legal basis of how the OTW functions.
#really tired of seeing posts warning people to archive lock their works to protect against scraping#information wants to be free and that includes your second person reader insert#you are of course welcome to archive lock the works#that's a function of ao3 for a reason#but the anti-scraping attitude is exhausting because it tells me#that the broad understanding of 'fair use' is dismal#which is depressing coming from the userbase of a site that is totally reliant on fair use
