girlwarlock:

Someone at tumblr/automattic asked whether requests to opt out of “AI” data sharing would be honored retroactively (which seems important, seeing as tumblr has apparently compiled the user data they’re going to send *before* giving any kind of opt-out option) and Automattic’s head of “AI” Andrew Spittle responded:

We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who’s opted out since the last time we provided a list. I want this to be an ongoing process where we regularly advocate for past content to be excluded based on current preferences. We will ask that content be deleted and removed from any future training runs. I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point. I don’t think they gain much overall by retaining it.

And I do not trust midjourney or openai in the slightest–their business models, by their own admission, depend on scraping art they don’t have permission to use–so I do not believe that they will honor any requests to remove data already received when requests are made to remove it. So yeah. take that as you will.

Edit

about 20 minutes after I posted this, @staff put out this:

They do not acknowledge that they are definitely actually in the process of selling your data to third parties, but they have a setting which (they claim) will prevent them from sharing information with third parties, including “AI” training businesses.

I’ve turned it on, but tumblr has burned so much trust that I really don’t have faith that tumblr will actually change the package of information that will be provided to these third parties based on the setting: tumblr/automattic must know that “AI” art theft is tremendously unpopular with a huge portion of tumblr, and that having this setting (even with a “you must know about it to use it” opt out setting) will result in a bunch of users setting their unintuitive “don’t share with third parties” setting to “on” which will diminish the value of the sale.

I don’t think tumblr will honor this setting.

Just learned about this recently and I’m super annoyed by it all. Why in the world do companies SELL our data like this without really thinking about the consequences? It’s one thing to post things to the site and make it easier to see, but it’s a whole different matter to simply sell everyone under the bus (in Tumblr’s case, this would be, what, the fourth time they’ve done this?) for a buck without the user’s consent on the matter. Let alone the idea of, PROPER COMPENSATION TO POSTERS AND ARTISTS! I simply don’t get Tumblr and Reddit doing this.
