@yvrshootstweets @yvrshoots It’s sad to hear about all the vandalism and thievery that occurs on this platform. I’m heading over to Bluesky to follow you. Hope all your other loyal followers find you there too. Keep on keeping on. 🙂

Don’t know if you’ve seen this but it’s an important read.

EXPLANATION OF WHY WE ARE LEAVING X

It appears that many people believe that my decision to leave X is somehow politically motivated. That could not be further from the truth. So, for all of you who messaged and emailed me to remove them from my mailing list, which I will do, I suggest you read the following new announcement.

Everyone at Spiderweb Art believes 1000% in free speech for everyone. My decision is simply based on the fact that as of January, in order to post on X, you must agree to let them use your posts and your content for their A.I. models. You will give up all your rights to your own content by doing so. They will have the right to use your photos and your texts for their own financial gain. And I have no intention of allowing X to use my content that I own for their benefit. I have spent 45 years of my life protecting the copyrights of my husband, Greg Hildebrandt, his brother, Tim Hildebrandt, and every other artist that I have represented.

Yes, my husband passed away on October 31st of this year. As long as I live and breathe, I will continue to protect the copyrights that he owns and the copyrights of any other artist that I work with. So, I hope this clarifies for you that politics has nothing to do with our decision.

Please understand if you continue to post on X after January, they will have the right to use your photos of your families and friends and you will not be able to stop them. I suggest you take this issue seriously. Your content belongs to you, not to them. Please read below.

X Updates Terms of Service to More Explicitly Cover AI Training Permissions
Published Oct. 17, 2024
By
Andrew Hutchinson Content and Social Media Manager
You may have seen a pop-up on X this week informing you of a change to its Terms of Service, which you have to agree to in order to continue using the app. The main change here relates to granting permission for X to use your data in its AI training, and by tapping through, and continuing to use the app, you’ve effectively given it permission to do so moving forward.
Congratulations, you’re now a contributor to xAI.
You can view the current and coming X Terms of Service for clarity, but the main change is in the “Your Rights and Grant of Rights in the Content” section of the document, which now includes more specific wording around your agreement to letting X use your posts to train its AI models.
A new element added to this section notes that:
“You agree that this license includes the right for us to analyze text and other information you provide and to otherwise provide, promote, and improve the Services, including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type.”
So, effectively, by agreeing to these terms, which, again, you’re doing by using the app, you’re granting X legal permission to use whatever you post to the platform to train its AI models.
Can you opt out? Well, no, not unless you live in EU.

‘Dune’ in the Pacific Northwest.

@Tzeporah @ManMadeMoon Also the infrastructure itself. I don’t know what the comparative costs are for building transmission lines and building LNG and oil supertankers as well as pipelines but I’m sure it’s another win for electrification.

Do you agree that the Phillips head screw is the worst invention ever inflicted on humankind?
