so in short

-> Glaze your art if you have the access to Glaze. the computing power for it is insane, it sucks, I know. cook dinner while your art glazes or go on a walk.

-> if you have the power necessary to use Nightshade, use it too.

-> data sharing has to be turned off individually for every blog. go do that

-> if you are on desktop, go to Account and choose a blog. on the right side menu, select Blog Settings. the setting is at the bottom under Visibility. I recommend turning it on even if you do not trust that your data will not be used for training AI models

-> please do this even if you are not an artist/don't post your own images! the wording wasn't clear on whether reblogged posts will be included in scraping, and given the other info coming out, it is likely that it might be

hi btw even if you didn’t upgrade to ios 18 with the ai software, apple still switched everything on to learn from your phone.

You have to go into siri settings and apps and then toggle everything off (I left search app on so I can find them, but all else off). You have to do this for every single app 😅

25th Feb Deadline: UK public consultation re: Should AI developers be exempt from current copyright and licensing practices in using rights holders' works for training material?

UK creatives, we have until 25th February to fill out this form which is a public consultation regarding copyright exemption for AI companies to use creatives' works in generative AI training.

It references this consultation.

You can find template answers for some questions at the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society and in this Google Doc pulled together by Ed Newton-Rex at Fairly Trained if you need help getting through the 50+ questions (I definitely did).

This goes beyond fair use. If this goes ahead, we have to actively seek out where our work has been used and opt-out. The AI companies do not need to notify us. As an author, I can neither afford the time nor money to hunt down every instance in which my works would have been absorbed into a data set. AI companies should not be exempt from the copyright laws that should protect our work and empower the rights holder.

The current UK government is making it increasingly clear that they're pro-dismantling regulations that protect citizens and citizens' data and labour to attract AI-related businesses. This consultation shows them willing to serve up the arts and creative industries as free food to do it.

Separately: Please sign this statement - it is a statement against the use of unlicensed creative works for training generative AI and an appeal for recognition that it would be disastrous for our livelihoods.

Hey guys, uh I need y'all to do me a favor-

Go to each of your blogs' settings and turn the highlighted settings on- it'll opt you out of being shared to third parties, including being trained for AI. Unless you want to be used for AI idk up to you. Sorry not sorry for the ping btw.

Charlie: 'Be so goofy that no one ever takes you seriously […] Let it take over. Let Troy guide you.' Troy Betteridge: 'Are you sure about that? Because any time I "go with the flow," I end up back in the mansion bouncing on a [Troy: fucking/Ty: blasted] trampoline. If I'm going to accomplish anything, I can't do whatever Troy feels like doing.'

Spotify -> woe.b 195 -> [16:16] ▶️

Troy Betteridge: 'Oh… there is going to be bouncing' TROYS HOUSE I DON'T WANNA PLAY GAMES //but I// bounce high when I'm on a trampoLIIIIIIINE

I love that Troy Betteridge complained to Charlie about having to bounce with the Troys all the time but once they were in the trampoline room, he outright refused to stop bouncing for Stinky's Key Information.

This is such a vile thing to say after selling our artwork to be trained and replicated for profit

And so it begins. Soon, you'll only be able to hide behind a lock if you decide to be naughty (NSFW) or nasty (rude/bitchy) on Twitter and don't want any blocked accounts to see it.

If you relied on the block feature to hide your tweets from others, consider Tumblr or Bluesky as a replacement for Twitter. No need to delete or close your account, just start slowly weening yourself off the damn app.

[fedoraspooky]

Holy moly, I suddenly started getting follows on my bluesky account outta nowhere today so I kNEW something was up on twitter, and... yeah. Wow...

a harrowing gaze into the abyss 🦆📰 #DuckLogic

[creatuesfromthedeep]

Reminder for creators to opt-out of tumblr's AI scraping if you don't want your blog's content used to train AI

Go to Blog Settings -> Scroll to the very bottom -> Hit that "Prevent third-party sharing" button

You'll need to do this individually for ALL of your blogs

Rebuilt the foundations for shutting the door today, added more speed to the door closure, and began introing shutting the door with me standing in different locations - this was tricky for him and needs more time

safe to say he's pretty excited about the whole process 😂

[danidrawsstuff]

so i went to grad yesterday

rambling in the tags

[lyss-butterscotch]

Peeked at instagram recently and see that its also feeding posts to AI, with no way of opting out in some regions and in the regions they do allow it, they made the process extremely hard and hidden and you have to provide a screenshot to prove your art has been stolen by AI???

God that fucking app is a cesspool now. I really want to just delete all my posts there but IG is the first place i ever posted my art on the internet... I regret it now.

Honestly everything META touches is a cesspool. Remember when they made a twitter copy and made it impossible to delete without also deleting your instagram so they can brag about the high user numbers?

Mezzo mix is like literally so fucking mid wtf
