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. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note 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.

Losing Jimmy Buffett and the Smash Mouth guy on the same weekend is a one-two punch from which tumblr may never recover. And it's almost the annviersary of the queen's death too!

Here’s a fun little update on the status of Reddit.
Reddit has rolled back its enforcement regarding botnets and fake accounts - specifically with cryptocurrency scams.
90% of the time, if you view r/all with the “rising” filter, you will see a new scam. These stay up for hours at a time now. Every comment and account in them is a bot, controlled by scammers.
Take a look at the subreddits this one is in - AIart and NorthernIreland - completely unrelated to crypto, yet it’s been up for almost 30 minutes. This should have been instantly detected by Reddits back-end, and removed purely for the bot manipulation. But due to the rollback of enforcement, these scams will stay up a long time.
Reddit is a cesspool.

Considering everything going on with the missing submersible full of rich people who wanted to visit the titanic for 250,000 dollars a pop, I thought it would be a good time to link this Sunday morning segment that talks about the company and the submersible:
Namely, 2:40-4:00 where they specifically state how it's not approved by any regulatory authority in the liability agreement and it's operated via an Xbox controller or something among the many other erm, interesting design choices (like ceiling handles from camping world)
So you know, do with this info what you will
