Feels pretty crummy to see who is scraping your website for art. I have tried opting out of things but it is not possible. I saw an interview where Grimes said every artist had the opportunity to opt out of data scraping but I never got the memo and I cannot find a way to get another opportunity. Grimes did you tweet about it back when you were making nfts - maybe you warned us? anyways its yuck. I know its happening to everyone, but still feels like being punched in the face. I hope you enjoyed my portfolio meta yeti. I do know where I live there are rules through PIPA about this stuff and they successfully challenged OpenAi about this and they had to retire the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models because were trained on the scraped data.

Thank you to @ShowdeerArt for starting the 1/1 auction for Maria Bambina on Networked Art! So excited! Soulbound patron editions available for 24 hours too. Maria Bambina is a digital relic exploring the mechanics of preservation. Inspired by traditional devotion to the incorruptible infant Mary, this work defies decay in a decentralized infrastructure. Maria Bambina utilizes Slow-Scan (SSTV) protocol to encode the art directly into audible frequency tones that can be decoded without use of the internet, ensuring 'unalterable' data. Hosted permanently at mariabambina.ar.io, this piece is anchored to Arweave so that the art and its instructions remain addressable long after platforms shift or disappear. 🍓 networked.art/toppyeton/0x7b…
