Moment, du hast die leeren Flächen reingeschnitten, damit man das Bild vom Hintergrund auf der nächsten Seite sieht ?

If you are a danish citizen you can also sign this Citizen Suggestion to show that you are against this.

Although the people who made it missed to mention that it's Denmark as a state who is the primary pusher right now.

They are already past the 50K, but the more people who sign this the better.

When you run a poll and find that the public is concerned about AI, it takes crazy levels of AI boosterism to conclude that the public is wrong and the govt must educate them.

Perhaps… the public is right.

Politicians should listen to the public, not the Larry Ellison-funded Tony Blair Institute.

Yeah I could be up for a Luddite renaissance

GASPS…

My convention plan for the rest of 2025 and a little bit for the 2026. Hope to see you there!🎉

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

A Reddit post titled "Wow... we've been burning money for 6 months." The post's author, u/me_z, describes how their company's OpenAI usage was costing around $1200 a month. They are using GPT-4 for simple tasks like extracting phone numbers, checking for profanity, reformatting JSON, and uppercasing text. The author ends by asking, "Am I an idiot? How much are you guys spending?"

they used AI to uppercase text? lol.

My new merch is finally Home!😍

Ireland’s MEPs all have emails you can find with a quick Google.

And they hear so rarely from voters about EU legislation that they pay attention when they do.

It would be worthwhile.

But what would really make a difference would be contacting your Govt TDs.

Oh WHAT i just thought I had to go do them all (and spent a bunch of time doing it and still didn't get em all)

Not really, mostly depends on client’s budget. Would recommend to move this to email: zipavika@gmx.de

On conventions or in general?

This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior.

Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars “Kia Boys will be Flipper Boys by 2026,” one person in the reverse engineering community said.

New: inside the underground trade of Flipper Zero tech to steal cars. Right now it's $$$, but people are cracking software to make it free. When this gets out, it will supercharge car thefts. So many modern cars vulnerable.
