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:

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)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

current state of the US: having a tally going for every time I call my human services caseworker/his supervisor and they don’t pick up 😔

Hey guys! (I don't know who I'm even talking to but ah well) here is my first piece of digital art EVER! I'm really proud of it, unlike most of my art, so I hope you guys like it! Thank you yognautsally for inspiring me to attempt creating fan art <3 you are the best! Edit: click for higher quality, apparently

Hi! My name is Jack (he/any), and in honor of Paranatural's upcoming 15th anniversary, why not do something special? That is why I am now hosting an interest check for the Paranatural 15th Anniversary Zine, a free digital zine dedicated to the love we have for this world and the characters in it!

This zine will be open to whoever would like to join! The only thing is that there will be a limited application and acceptance period just so that the link is not posted publicly and so we can ensure we meet the deadline. There will also be page size requirements because, if it's possible, I would like to create one physical copy to send to Zack. We shall see though!

That being said, I would also like to keep this zine as much of a surprise for Zack as possible. I will not be posting information about it on Twitter/Bluesky since those tend to be where they're most active. Share this with whoever you like, but do NOT share it with Zack!!!!

If you would like to learn more, please read the Carrd below, and feel free to send an ask if you have any questions/comments/concerns!

PLEASE SPREAD THIS AROUND, I WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT IT AS POSSIBLE!!!
