It is unclear from the article what exactly they are doing but the dialogue makes me think they are piping tumblr sites into some sort of Wordpress database. Which means Tumblr will use some sort of similar schema. Though it could be a move to kill off Tumblr entirely, seeing as they are reducing headcount at Tumblr. Especially according to this last bit:
> Given the blogging site’s continued financial woes, Mullenweg shifted the majority of Tumblr’s workforce to other areas at Automattic late last year and laid off others. At the time, he suggested that moving Tumblr to WordPress would be “tricky” but added that new technology like AI would make it easier.
It certainly seems possible it is more than a stack shift. It is definitely going to be a change for end users no matter how much AI he applies.
