Squarespace’s Mission Is To Provide Creative Tools That Power The Future Of The Web. From Designers

Hey, all -- just want to give a heads-up to anyone who has their work hosted on a Squarespace web site and are worried about AI bots coming along to scrape and steal your work:

Squarespace recently instituted a setting where AI bot crawlers can just come along and steal your work to train AI models, AND YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY OPTED IN.

You can disable this setting on your Squarespace site by going into Settings --> Crawlers.

[Alt text: Tweet from @CindyLouWho_2 reads "Hey Squarespace users! Did you know @Squarespace opted you into being crawled by AI bots without telling you? I didn't... #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Theft" followed by a screenshot of where to disable this in your Squarespace settings: Settings > Crawlers > Artificial Intelligence Crawlers]

😔 As the war in Ukraine continues, tragic events and attacks have become an unfortunate reality. Many of our students, particularly those in Ukraine, are feeling depressed, sad, and confused. At the same time, we understand that many volunteers are seeking guidance on how to best support their students during these difficult times.

✍️ The ENGin team, with input from our Ukrainian team members, has compiled practical recommendations to help you navigate these conversations and provide meaningful support to your students. 🔽

1️⃣ General recommendations:

📰 Stay informed — try to keep up-to-date with the latest news about Ukraine, particularly the city or town where your student lives. This awareness will help you empathize and respond appropriately. Reliable English-language news sources (like BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine ) can be useful for this purpose.

ℹ️

Begin every sessions by asking about your student’s well-being and the safety of their family. Show that you are genuinely concerned about their situation.

🫶🇺🇦 Thank you for your dedication and support. We are actively working on gathering more tips and recommendations from professionals who are experienced in working with Ukrainians and we look forward to sharing these with you soon. Your commitment to being there for your students during these challenging times is deeply appreciated. 🫂
