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.

Hello! Your newest ink drawing are absolutely incredible and I'm trying to figure out how you did the fur texture (my favorite part!). Did you use a white pen, or is it just about leaving gaps (like it is for the separations between the limbs and body?) Also what pens did you buy those thin lines are so crisp without being too heavy and im intrigued

the texture is made with hatching in the (more-or-less) direction that the fur would grow. I'm not overly worried about keeping it realistic, as long as the texture and values are to my liking. here's a closeup of the chimera/kirin creature:

you can very clearly see the press and release of the pen, it's not always perfect! as for pens, I use 005 Microns.

for A5 pieces like the above it's 005 all the way through. when I work on a piece, I usually do it in one sitting, so the line of the pen becomes finer as it doesn't really have time to soak up the ink into the felt tip. I start with the dark areas like horns or muzzles or paws, and work into the main body which will usually appear more faded and thinner.
