AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

„Luxemburg ist stumm, taub und blind, sobald irgendetwas Unvorhergesehenes passiert“, schreibt unser Redakteur im Leitartikel. Es brauche nicht einmal einen Hackerangriff oder eine Naturkatastrophe. Ein Softwarefehler reiche.

Luxemburg braucht eine funktionierende Gegenwart auf der Erde, keine glänzende Zukunft im Weltall

Es hätte wirklich nicht besser laufen können, zumindest für die Dramaturgie: Während Premierminister Luc Frieden am Donnerstag stolz verkündet, Luxemburg solle Leader in der Hochtechnologie werden – Stichworte: autonome Fahrzeuge, Weltraumtechnik, Künstliche Intelligenz –, liegt das Land noch im digitalen Koma. Keine 24 Stunden zuvor hat ein banaler Softwarefehler beim größten staatlichen Telekom-Anbieter gereicht, um... L’article Luxemburg braucht eine funktionierende Gegenwart auf der Erde, keine glänzende Zukunft im Weltall est apparu en premier sur Tageblatt.lu.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die"

Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die
July 21, 2025

AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024.

Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years.

We refuse to watch them die.

One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.”

Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness.

Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.”

Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%.

AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

dem bettel seng positioun zu palästina ass sou een armutszeugnis. ëmmer hin an hier, ëmmer goal posts shiften fir dass kengem opfällt dass sech seng meenung vun ufank un nach ni verännert huet, egal wéivill leit nach mussen ermord ginn.

net just inkompetenz, mee eng extrem ignorant form dovunner.

ok but seriously cancel your game pass. with the BDS boycott and the microsoft higher ups constantly bleeding their developers for the most miniscule of gains you'd be doing yourself a favor in the long run not giving those assholes your money. with every passing month they get all the more ghoulish

Hans Zimmer speaks out against the genocide of Palestinians

Hans: Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury. Mass starvation is the story. Not Glastonbury. IOF members admitting to intentionally shooting civilians that pose no risk seeking aid is the story. Not Glastonbury. Addictive opiods in bags of flour to a starved population is the story. Not Glastonbury. Genocide is the story. Not Glastonbury. Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury.
