Nach Clippy kommt Copilot. Nach dem Scheuer Andi kommt Katharina Reiche. Nur Friedrich Merz kommt als er selbst zurück.

Oh. Just heard of the Donald-J-Trump-3day-special-military-operation.

Ein wenig bekannter Essay von Huxley von 1946. Im Original: Science, Liberty and Peace. Das Original gibt es hier: https://huxleyarchive.org/Non-fiction/BOOKS/Science,%20Liberty%20and%20Peace.pdf Er sieht in der Welt von vor 80 Jahren extrem ähnliche […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

This is extremely funny. He's not promoting that AI super intelligence is coming, but rather dismantling that myth. But then he's giving a truly theatrical performance of human despair against the backdrop of people believing the hype. Watch his face, listen to him sigh every second sentence and […]

I've got a fun private project in #blender Reconstructing a room from the SAS hotel in #Copenhagen. The building and the interior were the work of Arne Jacobsen, one of the giants of scandinavian design. There is a brilliant book called Room 606 - The SAS […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

I'm seeing an increasing number of artists on the fediverse (probably just my limited perception) and an increasing number of people connected to my #snowflake That's nice.

Der große nördliche Känguin. #penandink #undisciplined_drawing

an #undisciplined_drawing I made for my personal fun. Perhaps yours too.

Support your local #makerspace ! A day of experimentation in #blender I have no idea if the idea comes across or if it only makes sense in my very own head?!

There is an underappreciated genre on Youtube - videos for kids made with #lego The videos usually showcase the whole contemporary range of police vehicles that kids can get and be the envy of every dictatorial surveillance state. Now: People have started making these videos using AI. Of course […]

Can we please go back 13 days and start the year again? The first take is already so spoilt that it won't be fixable in post.

What's the position of Boeing, Lockheed et al towards Donald Trump's foreign policy actually? They should be dismayed. He's making the American defense industry look like a bad choice for everybody, except for the Saudis maybe. But no one else could trust them any more.

Stumbled over some client work I did in #blender in 2018 or what. The renderings are actually okay for the time. But boy did I need the money - Google home assistant and a millenial pink wall. I can remember an interesting sensation splitting off part of […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

Oh #canva. It turns out that the new #affinity does ask for a log in from time to time to be useable. I've just been prompted to login at their webpage. You're behaving as I thought you would but I'm still disappointed with you guys.

A #library for the 21st century (concept) Bonus information: It seems that it's good to have an umbrella if you need to expect having to deal with drones. People (including drone operators) are very good at recognizing faces in complex environments. A […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

Emergency thing #1 Thinking about what is really important. done in #blender3d

Something I've been thinking about: We are seeing an overflow of arbitrary text and images right now, because - obvious reasons. I'm sensing a sort of general devaluation of images specifically. Images and video are losing their formerly perceived quality of representing reality. Now - I wonder […]

Some absurd shite. A concept for a contemporary gramophone. Little has happened regarding the design of those in recent years. Quite a niche actually. It's totally analog with a sound on its own so the audiophile crowd should rediscover those. The […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

Ich habe heute schöne Sachen gekauft. Das Poster ist von einer jungen Künstlerin namens Mona Dierkes. Die coolen Patches sind von Klopapia. Der "Slay"-Patch geht an eine Person, die jung genug ist um würdevoll damit herum zu laufen.

Der Nikolaus war da! Ein Lebenszeichen von #fefe 11Elf!

concept for an honest anti-consumerist advent calendar. Imagine 24 little bottles behind the windows, the bottles are wrapped in extracts of the works of Pierre Bourdieu, Max Weber and the likes. The bottles contain extracts of nux vomica. It's bitter and makes you throw up. Merry Christmas.

That's an interesting video - a technically brilliant youtube metal drummer playing to #ledzeppelin That guy is a true machine and they gave him that sterile metal drum sound but there's all the organic quality of the original band in there you really get to hear how they change tempos all over […]

I've spent way too much time with this fun project. Consider it a virtual art object. Made with #blender. I'm struggling to visualize that thing in a way I find telling enough to get the idea across.

#canva is the facebook of graphic design.

The portrait landscape-problem is as old as mankind. Now the solution is here: https://makertube.net/w/9bxsGvCuUmjwZP8NnTPBGH sort of. #blender #makertube

Imagine a social network based on github. I wonder what it would be like.

I did a quick and dirty one in #blender3d - my two cents into the #ebike pot. Imagine the material being carbonfiber and expanded polystyrene like those toy gliders for kids :-) Consider it humour for the #fedibikes #mastobikes crew.

Es ist AI-generiert, aber ich find's irgendwie leider geil. Ich wollte ein Bild haben, das ich in einer Collage verwursten kann, es passt nur von der Aufteilung nicht ganz zu dem was ich vorhatte. Schade. Tipp: Wenn ihr einen kostenlosen Generator für […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

Ooh, I want one of these ... https://obsoletemedia.org/gakken-toy-record-maker/

I have created organic slop. The boss tacitly thought I'd be able to produce some info material on how a green roof works. In one day. I ended up doing my signature inept illustrations which I normally do just for fun but not for work. I don't know what to think of how things turned out.

out for a little trip with the kid :) #fedibikes #mastobikes

Imagine this comical dystopian scenario: 1. vaccines are banned 2. the shots need to be smuggled into the country 3. underground physicians vaccinate people in illegal clinics disguised as med spas

Wenn es falsch klingt, passt es in die Zeit.

Brutal fooling with AI. Mozilla now has an ai-powered website creator called https://soloist.ai We played around with it a bit at work (in our break, of cause)..... #albertcamus once said that absurdity comes from an overflow of logic #shitpost #ai #soloist.ai

Something funny happened to me. I gave a little talk about generative ai - what it is, what it can do and mostly what it can't do. I included the beloved "how many stones should I eat" - example. When preparing the presentation I actually caught myself […] [Original post on social.tchncs.de]

I've just received some funny spam - the message tells me that access to my metamask-wallet (which I don't have) is about to be suspended. The usual stuff. It gets interesting with the link I'm supposed to click on. It leads to iasb.com/sso/etc. Looks almost legit at first sight. Now IASB has […]

Montag morgen! Die Sonne lacht! Voller Häme.

They try to reenact the Lors of the rings and they end up doing the Lord of the flies.

There's this design idea for a swivelling chair that has been in my head for a while. It's become a movie now. 26 seconds of product design. It's here: https://makertube.net/w/s4aMiMsu35488UuwF74sFs #blender #productdesign #chair

I have an idea: create a huge amount of social media posts with good image descriptions, taylored to spark readers' imagination, creating interesting and vivid images in their minds. Post total junk pictures along with the descriptions that are in no way related. How much of this would it take […]

Having just read that the dogebags have taken vital funding from #tor and #fdroid (among others) I'd like to advertise my favourite bot to those whose timeline is as much of a display of the general fucked-upness of current affairs as mine. It's @scream It won't change anything, it just […]

A quick one - trying to get to terms with my graphic tablet. Like everything I do I'll probably fix it in a couple of months. #digitalart #affinity_designer #activism

Kids can put blinky stuff on the spokes of their bikes now. That's actual progress.

German infrastructure after 20+ years of neoliberalism is when when you do a test run of sirens and one of them catches fire.

Haha, I dug out an old experiment from years ago. Animated concept art for a #3dprinter done with #blender https://makertube.net/w/c84RbiL9nKgRypwcHgZwuH
