Quelling the Tumblrcryptid Panic

the-world-of-erit:

OK so there’s a lot of posts out there where the op actually believes the tumblrcryptid joke is an NFT.

It’s not. If you look at the code, you can see this is a randomizer that picks a random image, some text from a list of lines, and one of your tags. 

And I actually researched this so I could tell you (due to some panic in the comments of these posts) you can’t accidentally reblog art that’s connected to NFTs and/or blockchain. That’s not how it works. Cryptocurrency is a very complicated thing. You can’t do anything to stop the “spread” of NFT art. You can’t accidentally support it. You must deliberately involve yourself. 

The tumblr cryptids shit is a poor attempt to read the room by @staff, who saw that a bunch of people were posting about it and thought it would be perfect for a joke. Rather than raise awareness about how solving one single “problem” on the block chain can use as much energy as one small country in a whole day, they decided to make a cute randomizer that poses itself as an NFT. 

You are NOT contributing to the cryptocurrency problem by playing with this. You are NOT a bad person if you posted one. You aren’t even on the cryptocurrency radar. 

PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST. A lot of people have anxiety about this shit, and the immediate panic by people who don’t understand is harming them!

Amazon is making sockpuppet twitter accounts as an attempt to stop unionizing. Why have corporeal scabs when you can get AI-generated scabs?

Yeah we’re betting that they’re either run by PR people or by employees told they’d get a bit extra $$ if they made the accounts and responded to people with prearranged stuff. That being said, the AI comment was because people have been pointing out that a number of these accounts use what appears to be AI-generated people for the pictures, and they could have been used from that linked website.

Remember that if unions didn’t work, companies like Amazon wouldn’t try so hard to prevent them…

“I’m barely scraping by as it is, but that’s not because Amazon is underpaying me, I swear!”

as a normal average person i too would definitely make my social media handle something that mentions my employer, and so would all my coworkers, which is very normal to do and not obviously suspicious at all

this reads like something written at gunpoint

also sidenote a lot of [Rightwing] sock puppets use the tagline ‘proud parent/father/mother’
