We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.
We completed the @vera-ai.bsky.social project, funded by @ec.europa.eu @horizoneu.bsky.social recently. Here, I look back on what was done and achieved - together with my @dw-innovation.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy colleague Anna Schild who, with Eva Lopez, focussed on tool evaluation and testing.
It stays in the family! Or: family supreme.

@djrothkopf.bsky.social to the point again, no messing.
Says the biggest threat overall is the man in the White House. This “sick, sick man holds the most powerful job in the world.”

“Recycled images, video game footage passed off as missile strikes, and AI-generated combat visuals: the US-Israeli assault on Iran has unleashed a torrent of online disinformation that analysts are calling a war of narratives.”
In Berlin ist es der „Buchladen zur schwankenden Weltkugel“ der betroffen sein soll.

#generativeAI makes it easier to fabricate convincing visual - but non-real and misleading - content. At the same time, it is becoming harder and harder for audiences to distinguish between documentation and deception.
This now also applies to satellite imagery.
