Lmao.
I wonder if there is a text equivalent of Glaze and Nightshade, to perform adversarial attacks on AI scraping the text.

I welcome this change actually. Now users can clearly see what others have been saying forever: If you don’t pay for the product, you ARE the product.
Explain how I’m the product relative to Linux.
With Linux you pay for support if you ever need it. Most end users will never need support, but businesses running Linux servers pay Red Hat a shit load to support them in case shit ever hits the fan. Like giving away a free car, but only certain people know how to do maintenance on it, and they all work for the manufacturer.
I’m not a business, so it doesn’t apply to me.
Have you told anyone to switch to Linux?
And sometimes when you pay you’re still the product. Smart TVs, occulus, etc
If you don’t pay for the product, you ARE the product.
Well, that’s not always true. I don’t pay for Wikipedia, am I the product?
Not only am I really glad to not be on tumblr, but this further shows I shouldn’t use wordpress for my website even though there is an opensource version
WordPress is either:
- overkill for a lot of users, when static site generators do the job faster and easier
- underkill when you have topology, data types, logic, and content pipeline challenges, for which Drupal is king but far more complex
Matt’s selling it.
The teams at Wordpress and Tumblr have made it known that they absolutely don’t want this shit.
I always thought it was scummy as fuck that WordPress.org, a 501c3 nonprofit, is allowed to funnel business to WordPress.com which is a completely separate for-profit entity.
They are even allowed to trick people into thinking they are the same by using the name and trademarks, which they explicitly state you cannot do. But wp.com gets a free pass for some reason? Scummy as fuck.
Yeah I’ve never liked Wordpress. But it’s pretty much the defacto CMS for noobs. I always have used my own self-built CMS’s on frameworks like Laravel but it’s not really practical for non-tech people or even businesses to self develop their own CMS unless they have really specific needs.
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t even realize that Wordpress.org existed and was a non-profit; I just thought making the source available was something they did because you can’t really not do that as PHP framework.
In the 2000s we had AdSense. So now we’re getting… AISense?
Remember when Xitter started selling the checkmark and now every platform is rolling out something identical? What about Netflix cracking down on sharing and adding ads to their lowest tier? Yeah this is that.
Shit like this should be opt in by default. But no. Instead of respecting the users they count on ignorance, forgetfulness, and obfuscation for this kind of fuckery.
Anything to make a buck.
Bro…tumblr is full of some WEIRD FUCKIN SHIT YO
Hey now, Don’t kink shame the weirdos
I know because I was one of those weirdos lol
Got 'em.
Sad they’re doing this with Tumblr though. It was fun but I just deleted my 10+ year old account.
haha its been about that long since I even logged into mine.
I heard now is the best time to check it out
I, for one, am looking forward to the rise of generative AI trained on 2014 tumblr, hallucinating Superwholock jokes where they don’t belong, cosplayers dying themselves grey in a bathtub, and DashCon references where nobody expects them
Bro this shit is gonna make AI UwU
All of this is predicated on having some company that can afford to pay and wants this data. Or, the next tech bubble will just be VCs throwing money at AI companies training their models on the old internet.
Funny how all of these social media platforms that were so happy to describe themselves as “the public town square of the internet” or whatever are now claiming that they own everything that everyone ever posted. So, which is it? Because it obviously cannot be both.
Depends on the day it is more convenient in.
both
Town-square when they lure you in, they own everything when they sell you ass off.
Can someone please outline the main reasons people are upset with these sites for choosing to do this?
There are 3 very important things that have to be respected when using someone’s work. Consent, credit, and compensation. The data is being taken without the consent of users, they’re not being credited for anything, and they don’t receive so much as a cent in exchange.
Makes sense
Well, time to delete my Wordpress account then. Gonna be a lot of content I gotta archive before then. ;-;
Good maybe now everyone will stop using bloody shopify.
