Hey, I usually don't make serious posts, but this one is a big deal to me and many other small creatives, so please read or spread the message, especially in light of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Google Labs is introducing a new ai that will just scrape your documents for ideas, plots, and other things to feed its algorithms. This information is stored SEPARATELY from your Google account.
Google will be collecting this user data and have at their disposal the ability to have free scripts for any content they want to produce without giving a cent to the original authors of these scripts, novels, character organizers, fics, etc. that the ai would be heavily basing these generated stories on. But that's not all, these ai's are also showing these works to human reviewers in order to "help improve quality of products" sharing works without consent of the author with real actual people to see if the ai is responding well enought to the prompts and imput (aka the intire documents as this is a fully intagrated ai -_-)
The reason this is going to be so terrible is that not if but when Google decides to open a production company (youtube movies will be first but they likely will open another streaming platform) these scripts their ai wrote them are probably going to be almost wholly plagiarized from docs user content that was stolen, without paying an actual writer anything at all.
If you are at all creative in the slightest PLEASE get your work off of docs before the features are fully integrated, scrub your google drive, and move to another program. Mircosoft, Libre (free and open source) ANYTHING to protect your works and if possible move away from Google products generally. Use a different search engine even. I'm going to link two TikTok creators from who I found this information as well as a list of alternative products to use away from Google in hopes to avoid them. Make them feel the backlash. It doesn't matter if they already have your data take charge of your internet person and DON'T GIVE IN
- Ecosia (browser)
- DuckDuckGo (browser)
- Microsoft Products (Not amazing but not drifting yet, I like the free version enough)
- Libre Office (free & open source!!)
- Waze (maps)
Please add on if you can any information or resources! Stay vigilant and stay informed
Hi.
I know you're scared about AI.
But Google is scared about lawsuits.
So you don't need to worry.
What I mean is that massive amounts of companies use Google docs for private information, like medical records, stock info, shareholders info, government info, stuff like that. Google can't and won't scrape information from private documents because that is rife with lawsuits from lawyers, the government, and countless corporations. Those lawsuits will then lead to other companies no longer using Google, which hurts their bottom line. Google is very aware of this, so they're not scraping private documents and sheets and everything else.
You are okay and your words are safe.
Did some web searching (on DuckDuckGo NOT Google) and yeah there’s no base to this
Google’s currently being sued because it’s been scraping from open web sources. Key word: open
Google docs/drive are locked, and like the prev reblog says, too many important people with pockets deep and rich for suing use it for Google to dare if they’re found out
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China
cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please
Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals
Incredibly disappointing behavior made all the more cynical by it happening just after Pride Month
Here are some LGBTQ+ helplines to call instead of the Trevor project in the wake of this:
Help is still out there!
Something about being a sea monster in Luca is a metaphor for being gay.
The unwillingness to explore at first, until you find the right person to explore with.
The hate everyone has about them, despite not knowing anything about them.
The acceptance when they realize it’s fine.
Those two old ladies at the end (and them both being LADIES) shrugging when they see Luca & Alberto being open.
The jealousy (although unreasonable).
The terrifying idea that someone could find out and never knowing how someone close to would react when they found out.
Just watched Luca recently, in case you couldn’t tell, but that movie means sm to me.
me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish
people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk
result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish
conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.
Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.
Targeting this at newer tmnt fans who are coming to tumblr! Y’all don’t understand how many t*est/nsfw posts have come across my dash recently that have like one, maybe two tags if I’m lucky and neither are the tags that I have blocked for a reason.
I do not care what you are into. I do not care what you draw. I do not care what you ship. But do not hinder the tumblr experience of those of us who do not want to see specifically the content you are making.
Tag it properly
It’s so hot where I live right now that I can’t even think to draw.
Wow that was FAST. Check out this YouTube ad I just got trying to hire scabs immediately.
The fact that they're advertising it as hourly pay is so telling that they're hoping to just hire random people off the street. They're trying to prey on desperate actors who don't know that $180/hr for a fucking GODZILLA movie is the hugest rip off anyone could possibly pull. No rights, royalties or residuals but hey at least you'll get paid fucking nothing!
Godzilla vs king Kong 2 is a Toho co and Warner Bros production btw. Just so you know what corporations are sanctioning this pathetic shit
More of this AU || Peaceful morning 🐟🐟🕸️
(Thank you for your support on the original post!!)
i think my favorite thing about midoriya’s labeled t-shirts is that you could easily write it off as horikoshi being lazy and not wanting to draw actual outfits on his protagonist all the time. but if you look at all the other characters and all the official art, horikoshi does, in fact, love drawing personalized and unique outfits for everyone. midoriya is just Like That
I joked a few minutes ago about how in internet discourse anyone over 25 is a “queer elder” but come to think of it most of these young discoursers don’t even believe such a concept exists. Gay men who watched their entire friends groups perish to AIDS are “privileged cis gays,” older trans women who use dated terminology to describe their own experiences are problematic, elders are just a conservative old guard to rebel against, and anyone over thirty who speaks to you at all must be a predator. The first time I heard the phrase “okay groomer” online, it wasn’t coming from self identified conservatives but from tiktok teens reacting against leather at Pride. You guys are ignorant and uncultured and proud of it!
Nobody hates you because you’re young. They hate you because you’re ignorant and annoying. Hope this helps.
Speaking as a “queer elder” (don’t really feel like one but shit if we’re joking about anyone older than 25 being one might as well roll with it). To my young queers (and my young LGBT+ folks who don’t use queer).
You are not getting pushback from the older segment of the queer community because you are young.
It’s because you came into the spaces we built for you and instantly tried to kick us out.
It’s because we opened the doors for you and you walked in and demanded that everyone you don’t like leave. You demanded that the kinksters, the crossdressers, the freaks and the weirdos, the non-binary trans folks, the people with conflicting identity labels, the people who apparently don’t enjoy their smut “the right way” leave.
It’s because you have thrown yourself into queer spaces with all the fucking audacity of a straight white woman raging at a rainbow flag in a grocery store, wailing about how it’s not appropriate for children.
It’s because you apparently think that you have some right to tell us, and other queer people your age, HOW to be queer.
It’s because a SCARY number of you think that using the word queer is bad in the first place.
It’s because so many of you have come here drowning in radfem rhetoric, and your response to being corrected is to scream “pedo!” At any queer peer who disagrees with your puritanical approach to kink and fantasy.
It’s because so many of you think that being LGBT+ means you can’t possibly hold onto the conservative values you grew up with, and when you’re called on it you attack anyone and everyone in your way.
Us queer elders aren’t hating on you because you’re young. It’s because you have come into the space we built- a space that we built on from what OUR queer elders built. Which was built on what THEIR queer elders built. And so on, all held up by a foundation of fucking blood of the queers who did not fucking survive, who we lost before I was born, and continue to be lost.
If we seem hostile to you and the ideology you bring? It’s because us elders know a threat when we see it. And the shit I see SO MANY of you young queers saying IS a threat. No different than the threats we’ve faced before. Except this time. It’s coming from inside the fucking house- and we won’t tolerate that.
Some of the replies to this drain my everlasting soul.
