- Gotta post something beautiful against the aftertaste. It's Thulsa Doom, fools!
- This damaging nonsense was exhibited at Bonn as well. Utterly frustrating to see institutions just giving up.
- Ich mag nicht mehr. Frauen „sichtbar“ machen kann ich mit meiner Forschung, welchen Mehrwert hat denn jetzt hier bitte die KI? Die recycelt doch eh nur. Faschistische Technologie im Einsatz gegen systemische Probleme die durch white supremacy geschaffen wurden. www.bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/D...
- Reposted by Jonas ZADFG erlaubt Einsatz von KI in der Begutachtung. Wenn wir jetzt noch die AI dazu kriegen, die komplette Forschung zu machen, haben wir den Menschen komplett von der Last des Forschungsprozzeses befreit und er kann sich komplett auf wichtige Dinge wie Reisekostenerstattungsanträge konzentrieren.

- Reposted by Jonas ZAWe can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!
- It now reportedly costs over $1M to buy a 3-minute trailer at #TheGameAwards Many nominated studios only get offered two tickets to attend (via Kotaku)
- Reposted by Jonas ZAEpic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

- What a deeply strange exhibition at my home uni @unibonn.bsky.social. The goal is to show 'pictures that were unfortunately never taken' of female scientists (and scholars, one might add) of Bonn. These pictures are AI-generated. bilderinstitut.de/untaken-pict...

- Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. 1) PhD on the Old Norse King's Mirror 2) some medieval volcanoes transcending space but not time & others time but not space

- During the pandemic I picked up a tiny bit of coding, but I never got around to finishing anything. This morning I made a clone of Bill Gates's 1981 game donkey.bas and I'm very proud of it. Pong or Breakout is next, and then maybe River Raid? gawaingames.itch.io/cone-collider
