Notify your employer with documentation of legal action underway (NovelAI content on Bluesky)

Why this matters for NovelAI content on Bluesky

• The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics.
• Bluesky's open ATProto network allows third party clients and appViews to display the same content. A removal from the official Bluesky app does not always remove from third party clients.
• NovelAI content distributed through Bluesky typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to NovelAI is critical for employer notification because it establishes the AI generated nature of the content, which strengthens statutory claims under 47 USC 223a regardless of whether the depicted person ever existed in unaltered form.
