A digital illustration of two people with white wings sitting between white Iceland gulls in a green and black-stoned hollow surrounded by heaps of snow and snowy mist.

Finished these #aceo #atc artist trading cards which had been lying around for ages. The red one is still up for grabs. :) #kakaokarten #artistsonbsky
A watercolor drawing of a person with long hair and glasses reading a newspaper and sitting in a space café, some stars and planets and the darkblue background of space visible through a big window in front of them. Watercolor drawing of a dragon inspired by a bearded vulture. The dragon is looking at the viewer in a curious manner.

Für die @bpb.de habe ich einen kriminologischen Überblickstext zu #Kriminalität in Deutschland verfasst. Er beleuchtet das meist aufgeheizt debattierte Thema aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive. #Kriminologie #Criminology

Kriminalität in Deutschland | Innere Sicherheit | bpb.de
Kriminalität beschäftigt Bevölkerung, Medien und Politik in besonderer, oft emotionalisierender Art. Wie lässt sich die Kriminalitätslage in Deutschland anhand aktueller Zahlen beschreiben?

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Next #alteredtcg token illustration! My DnD-OC as a recruit. The labyrinth theme fits our early campaign setting perfectly.
A red haired lady in an Altered recruit uniform with a food bowl and flying glow bugs, a warm light on her face, the surroundings are a grey labyrinth wall and a broken sitting bench.

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
