Tumblr and WordPress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools
I’m still looking into the sources of this article, but 404 Media has a good reputation so far:
internal communications reviewed by 404 Media make clear that deals between Automattic, the platforms’ parent company, and OpenAI and Midjourney are imminent.
This is not surprising. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tumblr will be shut down completely within the next 2 years either. Many users are angry, but I guess few will actually do something about it and jump ship.
