#disasterporn — Public Fediverse posts

"#fakeAIslop is #profitable, and there are countless users doing the same thing. There’s absolutely nothing to stop them.
That is: the #Instagram platform doesn’t just enable this behavior, it rewards it. On Instagram & TikTok, #FutureRiderUS’s top hits are from #fakeLAfires. None are clearly labeled. #Disasterporn is just another kind of #content.
It doesn’t really matter what that content is: as long as it is ‘content that grabs attention,’ #bothsides can make money."

Our monthly bonus chat is live! This special episode focuses on a simple question - Why can't Hollywood make a good climate change movie? This was prompted by @xtinadlr 's rewatch of The Day After Tomorrow some time ago, and as a scientist and solarpunk, she was both horrified and offended.

Join us as she gets it out of her system, and we deep-dive into this example of the representation of climate catastrophe on the silver screen!
