Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I donβt want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it π
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
Soo, I got bored and decided to take this test to see who I ended up with. First I got my boi, Konner Kent! (Wasn't it spelled conner??) I love this child so much! He is just so relaxed and jokes around a lot. Don't think I would date him, but we would be great friends.
I tried again to see if anyone else would be suitable for me. And I got JASON TODD. This 6 foot tall motherf*cker with a body that was chiseled by the Gods. I swear he can crush me with his thighs and I would say 'Thank you'. This man would be a literary genius and have cooking skills that would rival Gordon Ramsay's.
Compared to my potato lookin' butt who can burn microwavable popcorn. I feel like he would just date me in fear of me getting food poisoning, instead of actually liking me. π
I finally did it.

My tattoo artist told me his teenage son came out to him as trans by giving him a bunch of blue cupcakes and a greeting card that said "it's a boy!"
"That's cute," I said.
"It was NOT cute!" he snapped. "I thought he was pregnant."
When asked why they still haven't kicked the bucket after decades: Ford insists he beat Death at chess. Stanley insists he kicked Death's ass in a Denny's parking lot
how it feels to ignore text messages and phone calls
The idiots
It's Time To Investigate SevenArt.ai
sevenart.ai is a website that uses ai to generate images.
Except, that's not all it can do.
It can also overlay ai filters onto images to create the illusion that the algorithm created these images.
And its primary image source is Tumblr.
It scrapes through the site for recent images that are at least 10 days old and has some notes attached to it, as well as copying the tags to make the unsuspecting user think that the post was from a genuine user.
No image is safe. Art, photography, screenshots, you name it.
Initially I thought that these are bots that just repost images from their site as well as bastardizations of pictures across tumblr, until a user by the name of @nataliedecorsair discovered that these "bots" can also block users and restrict replies.
Not only that, but these bots do not procreate and multiply like most bots do. Or at least, they have.
The following are the list of bots that have been found on this very site. Brace yourself. It's gonna be a long one:

The oldest ones have been created in March, started scraping in June/July, and later additions to the family have been created in July.
So, I have come to the conclusion that these accounts might be run by a combination of bot and human. Cyborg, if you will.
But it still doesn't answer my main question:
The site itself gave us zero answers to work with.
No copyright, no link to the engine where the site is being used on, except for the sign in thingy (which I did.)
I gave the site a fake email and a shitty password.
Turns out it doesn't function like most sites that ask for an email and password.
Didn't check the burner email, the password isn't fully dotted and available for the whole world to see, and, and this is the important thing...
My browser didn't detect that this was an email and password thingy.
And there was no log off feature.
This could mean two things.
Either we have a site that doesn't have a functioning email and password database, or that we have a bunch of gullible people throwing their email and password in for people to potentially steal.
I can't confirm or deny these facts, because, again, the site has little to work with.
The code? Generic as all hell.
Tried searching for more information about this site, like the server it's on, or who owned the site, or something. ANYTHING.
Multiple sites pulled me in different directions. One site said it originates in Iceland. Others say its in California or Canada.
Luckily, the server it used was the same. Its powered by Cloudflare.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with any of this information.
If you have any further information about this site, let me know.
Until there is a clear answer, we need to keep doing what we are doing.
If they want attention, then they are gonna get the worst attention.
for best results, put on your disco inferno 12 inch
he's either oblivious or tries very hard not to notice it ππ
This account will post anything and everything the creator believes is important. β οΈ You have been warned β οΈ Have Fun! π
