ATTENTION ARTISTS OF TUMBLR

since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it

here is some more info on these tools and where you can download them:

Nightshade: Protecting Copyright (uchicago.edu)

Nightshade: Downloads (uchicago.edu)

Glaze - What is Glaze (uchicago.edu)

Glaze - Downloads (uchicago.edu)

Doesn't seem too off base to say these (utterly ineffective) opt-out features are only there to placate users, make us think we are protected and we did all there is to do and to stop us from actually looking into our rights, laws and potential lawsuits, does it?

And about the AI opt-out setting Tumblr will deploy tomorrow, I’ll just let you with the words of the person in charge of the heist:

Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who’s opted out since the last time we provided a list. […] I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point.”

So Tumblr will notify openAi and Midjourney that you wish your posts to not be used and it’s entirely up to them to comply or not. And as we know, we are talking about some of the less ethical companies on the internet (which honestly is kind of a feat), so that cute little setting will most than probably do nothing and less.

Thank you so much, this is so sweet!!!

Copyright holders can already take down your fanart. They generally DON'T WANT TO! Fanart benefits them too. Profiting off of it is already illegal but copyright holders often choose to look past that too. Anti-AI fight has NEVER been about fanart and will NEVER be about fanart. Adobe threw a red herring there with the art styles thing, knowing exactly this would happen. They're NOT our ally, and that's NOT what artists want. This is about our LIVELIHOODS, not fanart. Please.

[katriaraden]

Y'all. I don't know who needs to hear this but copyright holders are already perfectly equipped to take down fanart under existing laws. They just actively choose not to, because fanart generally benefits them. A lot. This is a complete red herring Adobe is throwing at us, and you're falling right in their trap by buying this. Adobe is not our ally, we're well aware. This is NOT about fandom and fanart. Never was. This is about preserving our livelihoods and making sure a 'professional artist' continues to exist. It's a very serious discussion and an existential threat to a lot of us. Please keep that in mind.

Fanart is NOT in danger. Come on.

We’ve been shouting at the anti ai people for months if not a year or two at this point that the end goal is for Adobe to have their perfectly functional “ethically copyrighted” AI, all other big companies get theirs, and then they use the copyright system to delete the idea of fanart and transformative works from society. They never needed your art! They had their own in great big vaults all legally bought and owned.

I fucking told you guys. If this passes and you act surprised and were also anti ai art I’m hitting you with a brick. This is the entirely foreseeable outcome of the company you keep and the policies you espoused. Now that Adobe is saying we need to copyright art styles maybe you should step back and take a look at what side you’re on, since every big company seems to be chomping at the bit to enshrine your stated ideology into law. Do you really think this is a broken clock right twice a day moment? It’s ADOBE “we will make you pay for photoshop five times a month” the company.

Fuck. God damnit. Fuck. I’m so mad. WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. SEVERAL TIMES.

Fuck.
