[QUOTE="trappedslider, post: 9277992, member: 41932"] OMG another slightly less evil corporation is wanting money by selling out it's user base (what's left of it) to another more evil corporation [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tumblr.com/jv/742921205545369600/what-is-this-about-the-tumblr-staff-wanting-to?source=share[/URL] to save you form having to click on the line here's the post : [URL="https://www.tumblr.com/jv"]Tumblr[/URL] [URL='https://www.tumblr.com/jv']jv[/URL] [IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/rainbow-crab-checkmark/1.png?_v=2802d20fd6462f4a3cf3742c66f314c2[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/blue-checkmark/1.png?_v=f270bb99b46e07a8dbc526087895515c[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/blue-checkmark/1.png?_v=f270bb99b46e07a8dbc526087895515c[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/rainbow/1.png[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/rainbow/2.png[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/rainbow/3.png[/IMG][IMG alt="Badge image."]https://assets.tumblr.com/images/tumblrmart/badges/rainbow/4.png[/IMG] Follow Anonymous asked: What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney? An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said: [LIST] [*]I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person. [*]Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies. [*]A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable) [/LIST] So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
