DEVIANTART AND AI ART
READ UPDATE AT BOTTOM, EDITED/UPDATES WITH NEW INFO!
YOU HAVE TO OPT OUT INDIVIDUALLY PER WORK, OR FILL OUT A FORM THAT COULD TAKE UP TO TEN DAYS TO PROCESS.
HERE IS THE FORM TO OPT OUT YOUR WORK AS A WHOLE (CAN TAKE UP TO 10 DAYS, NOT SURE HOW RELIABLE IT IS AS IT HAS... UNLABELED SPECIFICATIONS)
FOR INDIVIDUAL WORKS, CLICK 'EDIT' AND CLICK 'not authorized for inclusion in third party datasets'
you may be wondering, why did they choose to do this?
A PETTY CASH GRAB.
THEY FUCKED OVER THOUSANDS OF ARTISTS FOR LESS THAN 10 DOLLARS A MONTH.
update: they clarified the AI STUFF:
the dreamUp stuff still sucks ass (LAION has no copyright filter on their datasets, as they only store the URLS of where images are hosted. The dataset USERS are the ones who set up the images for their training data but. this really isn't hard to do :/// this is like a loophole to avoid getting copyright struck)
They claim to not be using deviations on deviantArt to train their model. This update WAS NOT part of the initial post so... it seems that they are NOT using all uploaded deviations..? still scummy and this DEFINITELY reads as backpedaling to me due to backlash but...it is no longer dire/in art theft territory, i think?

So from what I understand there are two types of penpals on the island now
Fred and Tubbo, who appear to trust each other (Tubbo does but Fred is a mystery) and are nice and trade flowers cause it's nice
Forever and Bad, toxic homoerotic letters where they write how much they hate each other with blood but also would kiss each other on the mouth and probably take care of the letters with their lifes

Hell Gate, as usual, has the best coverage, + now it’s basically the only fair coverage of campus protests. im a couple days late to this one but I was backreading news today and it stood out to me.
