Calum IG Story

the city tends to move on all the same...

the sound of rain or the sound of birds? foggy mornings or colorful sunsets? the waves of the ocean or grass in the wind? gray skies or massive cloud formations? leaves turning orange or snowmelt?

Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing [email protected] 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.

something genuinely needs to be done about this idea of like "i paid for this experience so i'm entitled to act however i want." you paid to go to a concert, you didn't pay to treat the performer or other audience members badly. spending money doesn't make you exempt from your social contract — if anything, by spending money & attending an event you are more obligated than ever to be a decent fucking person. a musician is choosing to share their time and their art with you & just because you paid for it doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want. you don't get to throw shit at a performer or on the stage. you don't get to throw a fit because they perform a song you don't like, or they don't perform a song you want to hear. if you're on your phone the whole show and the performer doesn't like it, they have a right to say that. like i'm sorry but no amount of money makes it okay for you to treat others poorly.

am i dissolving in jealousy over the people who get to see zayn perform live? absolutely. am i still happy to see him out and about regardless? yes. however AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
