This is the only day you can reblog this

Hello, it's been a while and I forgot how this site works

WOWZA i am going to be struggling for a long time to improve my art i realize. literally every artist i look up to and try to learn from has super thin lineart and lots of detail but i keep falling into thick lineart. i have to fix that but its so hard. maybe i need to get my eyes checked out.

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.

it is 97 degrees. i am fully clothed, and then have a bathrobe on over that, and then a whole blanket on over that.

i need to rebuild basically my entire art style from the ground up to improve or refine it more. i can just feel it. i am so so scare but i need 1000 hmmms. i cannot stop until i get 1000 hmmm.

Important

what do you mean i need a screwdriver to fix a computer

covid coming in clutch giving me the time to fix my desktop and the inability to bring it to someone else for help

by the end of the day i WILL be able to draw and play minecraft again
