ANIMATION INDUSTRY IN DANGER : WORLD UNIONS DECLARE EMERGENCY IN THE FACE OF GENERATIVE Al USE. Graphic with the text Let's Stop AI Generated Art.
ENGLISH VERSION This statement was composed by a collective of international Animation Unions, federations, and organisations calling for action in regards to the usage of generative Artificial Intelligence and its destructive impact, not only on the global animation industry and the craft itself, but also on everyone who is employed by it, our culture and our planet. The animation industry is suffering, after the explosion of the streaming bubble and the pandemic. The workers are feeling the …
This same technology is being used to foster dissent, confusion and distrust among the public. This unchecked growth and unjustified techno-optimism comes with incredible environmental consequences, including expanding demand for computing power, larger carbon footprints, shifts in patterns of electricity and water demands and an accelerated depletion of natural resources. As such, there is a need for protection frameworks around GenAl, centered around transparency, compensation, control on the…
We invite all workers, students and allies to join us in Annecy festival, to discuss concerns and defense against GenAl, and to hear unions representatives read the statement on Thursday, June 12th, at 2 PM, on the Paquier (and then a map graphic)

For those who think that going out is the wrong thing to do today: Here's a quick puzzle for you.
#MathPuzzle #ScientificAmerican #DicePuzzle

Image from the Puzzle section of the printed edition of Scientific American: Math Puzzle Construct the Dice By Hans-Karl Eder Marie has one regular die labeled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and a second cube that is completely blank.

Über 15 °C morgens beim Aufstehen ist einfach falsch. Und der Sommer hat erst grad angefangen! 😭🥵
(Quelle @… islieb.de/hitze/)

Sommer-Comic. Ein Mensch sieht skeptisch zu, wie vier Monster mit fiesem Grinsen zielstrebig auf ihn zukommen. Jedes Monster ist größer und monströser als das davor. Aufschrift des ersten Monsters: "Hitze". Aufschrift des zweiten Monsters: "Noch mehr hitzige Hitze". Aufschrift des dritten Monsters: "Maßlos überhitzte Dauerhitze". Aufschrift des vierten Monsters: "Sadistische, verschwitzte Hitzen-Apokalypse". Direkt dahinter läuft, verborgen vorm Blick des Menschen, noch eine kleine, niedliche F…

'Dinge die mit "S" beginnen oder so aussehen ...' #FotoVorschlag (Things starting with S).
#Schnee / #Snow
I took this

In this image, we see snow falling gently on a hill, creating a serene winter scene. The landscape is covered in a blanket of snow, with a clear sky overhead. The overall mood is peaceful and cold, evoking feelings of tranquility and isolation. The image captures the essence of winter, with freezing temperatures and a mountain in the background. The scene is perfect for those who enjoy nature and the beauty of snowy landscapes.

Content warning: Medical stuff / MRI selfie

On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

The Soviet way with words 😂
(from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim)

In the article, Pravda correspondent Vitaly Fedorovich described his first impression of the meeting with Lysenko: "If you judge a person by first impression, then this Lysenko will leave you with a feeling of toothache - God bless him, he is a sad-looking person. And he is stingy with his words, and insignificant in face - all I remember is his gloomy eye, crawling along the ground with such an air as if, at least, he was going to kill someone."

For Trump,
“it’s no billionaire left behind
— and good luck to everyone else.”
“It’s telling that President Trump has chosen to release his budget on a Friday night with no fanfare whatsoever,”
said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee,
following the administration’s release of approximately 1,200 pages of budget documents.
“That’s probably because his budget would raise costs for working people,
destroy basic s…
