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…

(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…

#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.

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.

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,
